Alexandria day trip from Giza - The car picked us up exactly on time from our hotel in Giza and drove us to Alexandria through dense traffic but safely. Our guide Naelah was charming, very well informed, spoke excellent English and had arranged our visit in detail with all entry tickets so we avoided all the queues for our visits. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Alexandria, and the visits to the Library and the Citadel were highlights in spite of being a bit rushed. Naelah recommended a superb lunch in the fish market with unbeatable views of the Old Port which we really appreciated. Altogether a memorable day.

A Perfect Day in Alexandria with Bella and Yossef - We had an amazing day trip to Alexandria from Giza, guided by Bella, who was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The highlights included visits to the Citadel of Qaitbay, Pompey’s Pillar, and the Library of Alexandria. Yossef, our driver, ensured a smooth and comfortable ride throughout the journey. Both Bella and Yossef made the experience exceptional, and we highly recommend this tour!

Horrible experience not recommended - Over all horrible experience. Not recommended at all. Initial co ordination with the tour company was good. Car was good but the driver was too slow and was taking multiple phone calls during the drive and eventually slowed down and increased the drive time. Local guide was busy chatting with others and was most of the time sitting and getting tired lack professional attitude. Guide didn’t have enough knowledge to explain and couldn’t answer when asked questions. Lunch Restaurant was ok but she could not get us a good sitting place even though it was empty and food was very basic and cheapest from the menu - not worth the money. After giving feedback to the tour company they send a sorry message which is even more annoying
