Perfect day trip - This tour included all the sights I had on my list, but guide Nermin and driver Karim from EMO-Tours made the day perfect.

A good day trip from Cairo to Alexandria - It is not a 10-hour tour, so there is no need to be picked up at your hotel at 6 am! I was home before 3 pm and that was enough. My driver and guide were simply marvellous. Very knowledgeable guide and when I got home to help write my diary I got onto Wikipedia and learned a lot more. A very worthwhile day spent.

Great tour! - As lucky to have a great guide who was very interested in showing his country and talking about culture and traditions. He also gave us time to explore in our own and no pressure to buy during the shop stops. They are pretty typical in most countries so I wasn’t bothered.

Alexandria Day Trip - We did the whole day tour of Alexandria with a Spanish gui Hady who accompanied us and explained the different places, the library, the fortress... and to finish we ate in a restaurant facing the sea.All very well, recommended experience!

Perfect Tour and Outstanding Guide - Absolutely PERFECT, thank you to the guide who was so attentive - caring and explaining everything in detail. Thanks to the driver who was just as friendly. The tour is very interesting because you get to see a whole different part of Egypt's history in Alexandria.

Day trip to Alexandria from Cairo - We drove up to Alexandria from Cairo early, had a stop on the way to have breakfast at a great pastry place. We then met our guide once we got there. It was a nice experience overall, though, the driver and the guide definitely made it even better. Driver was so genuine, kind and polite, whereas the lady guide was so positive, warm and knowledgeable. In my experience, I’ve noticed people would always match your energy, so make the first step and you’ll have the experience you expected you’d have. We didn’t have any surprise visits and entirely stuck to the plan. On the way back to Cairo, if you are lucky, you won’t miss out on the amazing pyramids view.

Please avoid this tour at all cost - Please please please avoid this tour at all costs. It is 100% not worth the money you pay to only spend 2.5 hrs in Alexandria and then drive 5 hours round trip to Cairo. The money you spend is gas to get you there and back. I expressed my concerns to the tour company and was shrugged off.
