GREAT DAY TRIP TO ALEXANDRIA! - Egypt Tailor Made was great! They arranged a day tour to us to Alexandria from Cairo. Our driver picked us up from our hotel and stayed with us the enter day. We met our tour guide in Alexandria. We visited the catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, the Roman amphitheater, the Library of Alexandria, and Fort Quitbay (which is pretty beautiful). There's really a lot to see at each of these sites - more than you'd expect (it's not just a pillar there!) This was a long day (the ride back to Cairo took over 3 hours - but we hit rush hour!) ETM offers a great service. Well worth the trip to Alexandria.

Knowledgeable and Experienced Guide - Ms. Jividan was a knowledgeable and experienced guide. As a local, she clearly has passion for the city. Up front, she went over the day's program, including all the entrance fees, to make sure we were happy with what we were seeing that day. She also offered additional optional experiences throughout the day. For only a short day trip, we felt like we learned so much about Alexandria!

Auditorium, catacombs, lighthouse, - I could visit many historical places of Alexandria. Ms. Heba explained all of places’ history so I enjoyed Greek and Roman architecture.

Egypt is safe and welcoming - We had a wonderful day in Alexandria. Our tour guide, Javidan, was so knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. She took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch, the Fish Market, overlooking the Mediterranean. I would highly recommend Egypt Tailor Made tours to experience the best of Egypt.

A long day made easy - These guys ooze professionalism but without sacrificing the personal touch Mohammed our driver punctually collected us at 7am for the 2+ hour to Alexandria with option of a coffee stop along the way if required. A good conversationalist he helped the miles speed by. Nancy our guide was extremely knowledgeable and her pre site briefings for each location certainly proved to be of great assistance. No hesitation in recommending this company.

Day tour to Alexandria - Great hosts, gentle, accurate and quite informative in a series of matters regarding Egypt not just sight seeing. Great flexibility in adjusting the tour's programme to our needs.

Fantastic trip with an incredible tour guide - We spent 6 days with Sabry as our guide. What an amazing 6 days!! We did so much in a short time. Sabry was incredibly kind, flexible, knowledgeable, and knew exactly when to go to the sights so that there were less people around! He makes sure to support good local businesses and makes sure you're taken care of, beyond what he is expected to do. He also suggested another tour for our free day that was absolutely amazing! It was also handy to have a person willing to take photos at any time. My birthday was during this week and Sabry and Egypt Tailor Made made sure I found a good place with a great view to celebrate my special day. Not many tour groups or guides do that! Ask for Sabry for your trip and have a wonderful time! Come to Egypt, it's amazing!

Great day trip! - I had an amazing tour with Mr. Ahmed Zaky and Mostafa the driver - Ahmed is very knowledgeable and very nice (he even shared some information with locals who were visiting the sites as well) and was very good company throughout the drive. I got to see the city and many highlights - my favorite part was the Roman ruins
