Great tour! - This was a nice tour of the highlights of Alexandria. Our driver and tour guide (Mohamed & Mohamed) were both wonderful. I definitely recommend, especially if you have limited time to see the city sites.

Catacombs, Library, Roman Ruins, & the Citadel with Youssef! - Youssef was a FABULOUS tour guide! His unlimited knowledge of history & the city enabled him to customize a tour just for us. An overall great experience! Booking the tour & communication prior to the tour was very easy to meet up at the port.

Fantastic guided tour. - The tour guide and driver exceptional. Very willing and able to accommodate our needs making it exceptionally enjoyable. The only thing to be aware of is that the port pick up/ drop off location requires a longer walk than we expected.

Great Alexandria Experience! - Dina was a great guide and the driver was very good. Also Mirrette was very helpful. Dina knows so much about Egyptian history which made it so educational. Great experience and great time! Highly recommend this tour!

Good tour but did not meet the description. - We enjoyed the tour with Mirette. We visited the Catacombs, Pompeys Pillar, Library of Alexandria, St. Marks Coptic Cathedral, and Qaitbey. All were very good and our guide provided very good explanations at each site. The only concern we had was we had a list of like things from the Trip Advisor description that we wanted to see. Now Trip advisor says that tje guide will pay for up to 4 sites. Whuch we interpreted as mesning if we wanted to go to more sites that we would hsve to pay for them ourselves which we were not opposed to. However the guide was saying only pick 4 and that was it. This was the only concern that it seemed like the guide did not want to go to other sites than the 4 he was pushing.

Not as described - Tour was described as 7 hours, and visits 10 locations. Ended up being about 3 hours and visited 3 locations. Tour guide was not good. Not at all worth the price.
