Excellent tour if Alexandria!! - We were picked up from our hotel at 7 am. At first we were a little nervous because the driver spoke no English and the car was old and not in best condition But the driver called our guide who was meeting us in Alexandria and she reassured us that she knew the driver and she would meet us! Nasrim was warm, very knowledgeable, and gave us a wonderful tour of the Catacombs, the Roman theater ruins, the Alexandria Library, then took us to lunch. After we toured the fort and the largest mosque in Alexandria. We were with Nasrim from 10 AM until 4 pm! The driver took us to each site and then drove us back to our hotel in Cairo. We couldnt have asked for a better tour. Our only complaint was that although the driver was so polite and courteous- we couldnt communicate with him and the car was very cramped and uncomfortable for two 3 hr drives.

Everyone catered to provide exactly the tour, visit the sights, with great knowledge, took just the right time to cater to our interest and stop, slow down to absorb more when requested. Chose a wonderful resturant with fresh fish! Excellent.

Only redeeming thing was the driver - The Short: Unprofessional, poor communication, and lacking experience is how I would summarize this experience. This excludes the driver, he was great. Started off picking us up late. We paid extra for an additional transfer to our next hotel and were met with lots of pushback from the driver and the passenger, who we later learned was owners wife, who was driving with us. Telling us to ride with our bags (some in our lap) for 3 hours to Alexandria. Once we got to Alexandria, it was basically a self guided the tour due to how little the guide was actually with us. We went to a very authentic Egyptian restaurant which was okay. The end of the trip was the icing on the cake. The driver, who was friendly and upbeat, took the owners wife home first. We sat in traffic for an additional 45 minutes even though we were the paying customers.

Don't book it! - We booked this tour with a driver, However the driver never showed up or responding his phone The second option, after 45 minutes waiting for the driver. We decided to contact Viator, Which they we explained what happened and even they tried to contact him but no response... However we never got the refund from Viator as well... Not much to say, I suggest you not to book it if you don't want to finish disappointed and without money back!
