Alexandria is eye opening - Went to Alexandria on the 14th February with my tour guide Misa and the driver. Both were very courteous and kind which made me very calm going on a tour solo. We started off with the Catacombs in which was a good experiment and Misa was very knowledgeable. We then went to Pompeys Pillar in which Misa took plenty of photos for me to send to my family whilst I’m holiday. After that we went to St Marks Cathedral and then Fort Quatebey before going to lunch. The lunch was a three course meal and a set one. I’m a very picky eater, luckily Misa was very accommodating. After that we went to the Library of Alexandria where I received a tour of the library and it was massive with the knowledge and finally to end my tour was Alexandria Museum in which there was a lot of things from different ages of Egypt. It was a lot to do in one day as we then drove back. If anyone does this tour I highly recommend Misa and the driver that I had they will give you an excellent experience and the Operators thank you for making my day a great one with your communication and helping me get the experience of Alexandria.

Full day tour - The sites were amazing. I had a lot of trouble with the guide. I could not understand his English well due to his accent. I also found his explanations limited and lacking in substance. When in the car he spent considerable time conversing with the driver. He also pushed other tours and shopping of which I told him I had no interest in either.

Guide had difficulty with English - PYRAMIDS, were amazing, but we may just have gone on our own. MEMPHIS, was a complete waste of time, it is not a city, it is a small area about the size of a football field with bits of stone lying around. The ONLY thing of interest is the large statue. You need to decide if it is worth the price. FELUCCA, they did not really want to take us to the felucca so they ended up driving past our hotel and then trying their best to convince us not to go BECAUSE I was not sure if I would want to go if the felucca looked awful. I guess they did not think it worth it for a maybe, so we gave up and went to our hotel. I would not use the company I used again if my sister is visiting with me. She loves to hear all about the history. Our guide did not understand us when we asked questions. He struggled, but he was NOT an Egyptologist and did try to explain things, which was rather sweet. The cost was very reasonable and although my sister did not get enough interesting information, it was fine for me who just likes to look around. So if you just want to look and see and move on, and have no expectations regarding learning about the history, then this company may be perfect for you.
