Definitely Reva day trip to Alexandria - We were promptly picked up at our hotel bright and early. A local rep from the tour company along with our driver started the journey and we had a quick stop for the local rep to buy some refreshing drinks and cold water. Then the Local representative left and the driver continued to take us off to Alexandria. It was a Smooth journey that took about 2 1/2 hours for us to get to our first stop where we met up with the tour company’s local guide from Alexandria. Wisam the guide was fantastic. She provided a structured tour at each site and then allowed us free time to explore on our own and take photos. She even gladly took photos for us when we wanted to get a full group shot. We loved the catacombs and the Roman Amphitheater. We splurged and took the row boat tour around Qaitbay Citadel and then enjoyed a fresh seafood lunch at a fine restaurant with an amazing view overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It was relaxing and breathtaking at the same time. We capped off with some ice cream and then the final stop to the Library of Alexander the Great which was impressive. Our driver then took us back to Cairo. Would highly recommend the day trip! Wisam was great as a guide!

It couldn’t have been any better - Alexandria is already an incredible city, but spending the day touring it with our guide Wessam made our trip so much more memorable. It felt like we were touring with a family friend rather than a paid guide. She was funny and engaging, and knew so much about the historical sites we visited. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and safe and made sure we were having fun. Definitely the best tour guide I ever had. Also, the company was also incredibly professional and kind when it came to scheduling our trip, which was much appreciated. I recommend this trip for families or anyone who wants a flexible and amazing tour of Alexandria!
