Alexandria amazing experience! - Our trip to Alexandria started early and we were able to see as much as we could. We visited all the important places. Hader was great! Sofy Egypt tours had everything planned out for us. The Alexandrian library was a unique experience and as a Greek I enjoyed it immensely!

Our visit on Alexandria - We trusted Sofy Egypt tours for our visit in Alexandria and was really happy with their professionalism and flexibility on our needs. Even though we had troubles and wasted time due to our own mistakes, they were ok and helped us manage our programme without missing anything. Our guide, Hader, was very knowledgeable and informative.

Adventure - Alexandria was a nice addition to our trip! Among other things we visited the catacombs which was the highlight of this trip! It is a 3hour drive from Cairo but our driver was really nice and we felt safe all the way although the busy roads. Thank you Sofy tours for the great planning and for taking care of the little detailed for us!

A good trip to Alexandria - Good experience of Alexandria! We arrived at Cairo airport after 7am on 10/10/2024 and the driver was already waiting for us outside, which made our trip very convenient. Our tour guide gave a good introduction to us about history and attractions of Alexandria. I really like Alexandria, especially the Alexandria Library. The library is beautiful and large, and also includes four galleries, three museums and the planetarium science center... I hope I have chance to go back there to finish those museums and the planetarium science center.
