Alexandria, a charming city by the sea - I took a day trip from Cairo to Alexandria by car. The entire trip was well planned. I was picked up from my hotel on time. My guide, Eslam was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We took our time at each attraction and enjoyed pleasant conversations about the city’s history.

Worth the long trip ! - If you visit Egypt, it's not a complete experience without a visit to Alexandria, a little more relaxed city than Cario. A visit to The Catacom of Kom El Shoqafa, Pompey's Pillar, Qaitbay Citadel & lunch at the famous Fish Market Restaurant, our guide Islam was excellent, quietly spoken, not in your face like many other guides.

Not a "must see" as a city trip - Christina was wonderful! Warm and informative. The drive from Cairo was longer than stated, which made it a very long day. I found the city itself quite disappointing, but the sights very impressive.

Awesome guide, amazing trip - Had a great experience in Alexandria with our guide Eslam. He has good knowledge about the rich history of the monuments which we enjoyed learning about. One of the major things we liked about this trip was that we were able to visit many picturesque places and Eslam made sure that we got satisfactory pictures at all those sites. Alexandria is definitely a must-see place if you're visiting Egypt and this tour allows you to fit the major sites of Alexandria in a single day trip if you're on a tight schedule.
