Day trip to Alexandria from Cairo - Be prepared for a decent drive to and from Cairo - a couple of hours each way, but there is plenty to see on the way. Soak it in! Our guide was very knowledgeable and she did a wonderful job of explaining the history of the establishment and timeline of Alexandria. The Catacombs was an unexpected highlight. Completely different to the catacombs in Paris. The current Library of Alexandria is pretty cool to finish at too.

Alexandria trip - Shaimaa was an excellent tour guide and Ahmed was an excellent driver. I was apprehensive at first due to the limited reviews on Airbnb, however, both Ahmed and Shaimaa were quick to put my mind at ease. Furthermore, Shaimaa disclosed she had studied at the University of Alexandria, and this is accurately reflected by her vast knowledge on what was included in our tour. If you want to visit Alexandria, please please PLEASE consider.

Alexandria highlights from Cairo in a day - We have just had a fantastic day tour of Alexandria, Egypt, through Narmer agency. The travel from Cairo to and fro went without a hitch with a great driver, Ahmed. Our guide, Shaimaa, was excellent. She gave very interesting information in an easy to digest and friendly manner. The catacombs and library were outstanding highlights as was the included meal. Thoroughly recommendable. It lasted 11 hours with no serious traffic hiccups, all inclusive except drinks.

Day trip to Alexandria with our guide Shaima - The family visited Alexandria and had a wonderful day with Shaima our tour guide. She is from Alexandria and is knowledgable. She took us to all the unique sights in Alexandria like catacombs, Alexandria library ( impressive place), the arena and pharaoh island. She gave us information and time to see the place for ourselves. She is kind, patient and ensured the family had a fun day. At the end of the day she took us for lunch at a lovely restaurant by the sea side and we had a delicious lunch

Alexandria in one day from Cairo is a good idea! - Naelah was an excellent tour guide. Her knowledge is very extensive in Egyptian history and Alexandria. She gave lots of background for every site we went to. The Catacombs were amazing, the citadel, the Roman amphitheater, the Mosque and library were highlights of Alexandria we will never forgot. Our drive was amazing to getting us to Alexandria from Cairo and back again.

Best Alexandria Tour Around - We had an amazing time exploring Alexandria with our guide, Shaimaa! She was nothing but kind to us and very informative. We were with her for several hours and all of it was a pleasure. This is best for family, friends, or tour groups looking to take a day trip from Cairo to Alexandria. Wouldn’t do it any other way!

Lovely day in Alexandria - Lovely day visiting the ancient sites of Alexandria . Our guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out the mixture of Egyptian , Greek and Roman influences in the Catacombs . Visits to a Roman theatre, a church a mosque and the citadel and the amazing library were all packed in to one day . Finishing with a meal in a great sea food restaurant overlooking the harbour.

Alexandria - Honestly, speaking, it was an average tour. Our Tour Guide was very knowledgeable, however; I just didn’t feel like it was an over the top tour. The driver who picked us up in Cairo was very nice, but we had a language barrier. We didn’t meet with our Guide until we reached Alexandria. Both of them were very nice. I’ve been on a lot of tours all around the world, and I’d have to say I don’t know if I would spend this money on this tour again. We did hit the highlights of history in Alexandria. I don’t really think there would’ve been much more to see.

Excellent education of Alexandria - Long drive but worth the experience. Shaimaa knows her history and all about Alexandria. Some times a little hard to track due to all the other noise. Very friendly and professional

False advertisement - Its only cover 5 places, and i get public group with other people instead of private group. Place of choice to visit should let tourist decide.
