Wonderful experience. - We did the guided tour from Cairo to Alexandria and everything was so well taken care of. The driver was on time at our hotel, could communicate well in English and the drive was smooth and safe. We met our guide of the day in Alexandria and she was also so nice and took care of us. Communication with the tour operator was amazing. Well recommended!

Memorable experiences in Alexandria - We had an excellent day trip to Alexandria, it was made more special and fun by Hady our driver, who was very thoughtful, knowledgeable and funny, he made the journey enjoyable and no pressure on time at the sites we visited. We went to the Citadel of Qaitbay which had wonderful coastal views of Alexandria. The mosque we visited was under restoration at the time but very beautiful from the outside. The library is very interesting it’s not just a library but holds museum exhibitions and historical artefacts. The catacombs are also interesting, much larger than you think and deep underground. You also see some Greek ruins with a large amphitheater. A great day out.

Perfect day trip - This tour included all the sights I had on my list, but guide Nermin and driver Karim from EMO-Tours made the day perfect.

A good day trip from Cairo to Alexandria - It is not a 10-hour tour, so there is no need to be picked up at your hotel at 6 am! I was home before 3 pm and that was enough. My driver and guide were simply marvellous. Very knowledgeable guide and when I got home to help write my diary I got onto Wikipedia and learned a lot more. A very worthwhile day spent.

Great tour! - As lucky to have a great guide who was very interested in showing his country and talking about culture and traditions. He also gave us time to explore in our own and no pressure to buy during the shop stops. They are pretty typical in most countries so I wasn’t bothered.
