Great daytrip, I have a nice tour - They picked me from the Giza hotel and the driver took me to Alexandria, where a local guide explained all the sites, she was pleasant and very informative. Finally the driver took me to the Cairo Airport. Everything was pleasant

Excellent but lot of... - Excellent but lot of traffic so long drive. You don’t meet the guide until Alexandria. But our driver Nabil was very nice and accommodating. Mahmoud our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, attentive and a happy person which made our tour more enjoyable. Because of the long drive our lunch was a box meal while driving back but it was very good

Long but insightful day in Alexandria - Day was good overall with many sites visited. My only reservation would be the Driver pick up situation as they went to the wrong Hotel first. The local Tour guide was informative and allowed me free time at each point. The Driver’s technique was quite erratic on the way back and he used his phone a lot so be buckled up to ensure safety. It was a really good day and I learned a lot just be mindful of wearing your seatbelt in the car.
