Excellent & Efficient Tour of Alexandria - We truly had an amazing experience. Mahmood was a fantastic tour guide, who not only provided lots of interesting facts, but assisted with our entry to sites & navigation around the city. We booked the Private Alexandria City Tour and were beyond grateful for the consistent source of AC. Him and our driver were very accommodating to any extra stops we were looking to make along the way (McDonalds and some extra hydration), and went ahead and made purchases for us to ensure we weren’t given foreigner prices. We’re truly grateful for this experience and everything we learned along the way.

We had a wonderful... - We had a wonderful experience with Sheri, our tour guide, even though our day started with some frustration. Communication with the tour operator about the meeting point was unclear, which led us to spend an extra 50 minutes searching for our van and crossing a bridge that wasn’t mentioned in the instructions. However, once we met Sheri, everything went smoothly. Sheri’s English was excellent, and she shared just the right amount of historical detail at each site. She helped us avoid the crowds, took great photos for us, and ensured we visited all the highlights efficiently. Despite the initial delay, we completed the tour in 4.5 hours without ever feeling rushed. We opted for the filleted fish lunch for an extra five USD-it was similar to fish and chips without chips but bread, and tasted great. The driver was professional and kept the van cool with strong air conditioning. Overall, we felt very fortunate to have Sheri as our guide. Our family members in another group struggled to understand their male guide’s English and didn’t enjoy their tour as much as we did with Sheri.

Great team today - Today's tour with Sheri and Ahmed. Both were great! Ahmed was on time in picking me up from the hotel from the far end of town. And as we drove towards the city points where we will meet our guide, sheri, he drove safely around town. And even tried to explain some sights that we passed along. Sheri is an amazing guide, easy to understand. She explained the sites well, and gave me enough time to also roam around the sites for free time. She offered options for eating koshary or seafood and ordered for me. She also asked, no hassle/pressure, if i wanted to see shops to buy souvenirs. The shops She brought me to was great and easy, no pressure. Over a great day with today's team, Ahmed and Sheri.

Good tour... - Day started off early at 830am on and time. Was greeted by the driver, Ahmed at the lobby to bring me to the first stop where we met up Sheri. Sheri was very knowledgeable and kind. Offering options for food either koshary or seafood. She took me to the fish market, which was delicious. She showed me around describing the history and the stops and significance to Alexandria. And taking helped take my pictures. She brought me to a local shop, where there no hassle/pressure right buy. Which was nice. Ahmed drove us around safely around the city and was on time in picking us up as we finished each stop.

Had an excellent day tour... - Had an excellent day tour in Alexandria, made special by our fantastic tour guide Muhammed Ramadan. From the moment we sat in the car he began telling all about the surrounding area and its rich history. He expertly took us through the Catacombs, the Citadel, the ‘amphitheater’ and the library (which was closed due to Easter). He was very knowledgeable and passionate, which elevated our experience all the more. We were also able to make small changes to our itinerary (taking lunch early) which really allowed us to enjoy the tour at our own pace. At no point did we feel rushed and he would always stop to show us the optimal photo spots. Overall, it was great tour of an amazing city which has so much to offer.

Best Guide and Driver Duo I Ever Had - Both our driver and guide were exceptional! As part of the ministry of tourist, she handled herself with grace and humor as we walked through catacombs, mosque, Qaitbay, the Roman Amphitheater and lunch on the water. Due to it being a Friday the Library was closed - we still had moments of education and many pictures! After the tour we were able to stay in contact with our driver, Ahmed- a dear friend to us now he offered information on where to eat, dance and even reasonable train ticket prices. As avid travelers we can only hope to find such helpful and genuine people everywhere we go. Will choose Emo Tours again in the future! Thank you for the experience and recommendations(:

Disappointing - Sameera was very nice but unfortunately also very expeditious. The visit was supposed to last 7 hours but we barely stayed 4 hours. The explanations were quick, and we barely had 15 minutes of free time at each stop. Pay attention to the option taken, she thought we had to pay for our tickets extra... The driver Ashraf was very kind and helpful, thank you to him!

Abysmal pre service - We have booked the trip and been advised of 2 pick up address’s, which are 30 minutes apart! I have tried to contact the local rep on many occassions, but no answer. The help desk in Las Vegas - they hung up on me. I have sent messages to various places - no reply. So I am not rating the trip - we have not been on it and may not go if we guess the wrong pick up point- i am resting the pre service which i would have given no resting if i could.
