Alexandria: Ancient Wonders & Mediterranean Escape Day Trip

Our guide Karim arrived on time. Disappointing, although the booking was for 4 people and the VIP your, the vehicle was only a medium sized SUV so with 6 people including the driver, 3 people had to sot on the back seat and 1 person jad yo crawl into the space behind the seats- not very comfortable gor all and certainly not suitable. In terms of needing to aee as many of the sights of Alexandria in one day, this tour hits most of the high points in quite a well organised way that we arrived at before most of the crowds. Karim was quite knowledgeable although tended to speak very fast with a well rehearsed spiel .

We joined this tour in order to see the most of Alexandria especially the new library. For years we have searched for boats going to Alexandria.It was an excellent tour.the guide was very knowledgable.Unfortunately we had too little time at the library. One small critisism: We were taken to our lunch only at 15h30 and then rushed at 16h00 to get back to the cruiseship.Surely we could have had lunch at 12h00-13h00? All in all it was great value for money.We were a bus full of people which also took longer to climb in- and out. my husband is 82 and I am 70.We thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Mahmoud was an excellent tour guide and showed us all around Alexandria. Had fun at all the stops and enjoyed the lunch. The only downsides were the fairly long walk (NOT 3 minutes) from the cruise ship to the meeting point, and the somewhat rundown appearance of the tour van.

Excellent experience covering the main sights to see in the limited time available. There were 15 of us in the small comfortable coach led by our very knowledgable and efficient guide Mahmout. Highlights were a short visit to the amazing futuristic library; the catacombs; and the royal palace grounds. 7 hour tour including optional lunch. Back to the port for cruise liner. Well recommended.

I took the Alexandria tour with multiple cultural and archaeological stops throughout the city. Essam, the driver, was excellent, calm (which is essential for driving in Egypt!) and always smiling, despite the traffic. Macy, the guide, was fantastic, kind, and genuinely wanted me to have a wonderful day that met my expectations, even suggesting additional options (e.g., short stops) to add to the itinerary. In fact, it was my best tour since arriving in Egypt, and that's largely thanks to her. At the Library of Alexandria and the Sadaat Museum, Shaza, the guide at this small museum, was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about everything on display. It was a full and very interesting day, especially thanks to Macy's work. I have rarely seen a guide so attentive to her clients' needs!

Flawless!! What an amazing day in Alexandria! Our guide Paula met us right on time with an expert driver in a comfortable air conditioned coach. All needs were met without hesitation, driver was professional and courteous. Paula was extremely knowledgable and it felt less like being on a tour and more like having a friend show you around their hometown. Through the chaos of a bustling city we were well cared for and even when we had a specific request, he made a phone call and made it happen. Lunch was amazing as well. Don’t miss your chance to see the city as a local! Can’t say enough about the perfect day we spent is Alexandria.

Our guide, Mahmoud was excellent and very knowledgeable. We took this Tour as a shore excursion and pick up was easily found just outside the Port gates near the Mosque.

Walid was an excellent guide. Saw many different areas of Alexandria. It was a full day in a small passenger van. Lunch was ok.

Mohamed our tour guide is very knowledgeable professional very helpful he explained and showed us the sites in Alexandria

We had a wonderful tour with Mahmut! He was extremely passionate when telling stories and explaining the rich history of Alexandria, which made the experience engaging and memorable. At one point we even crossed paths with another tour guide, who described Mahmut perfectly: “He’s the ChatGPT Egyptian version”—and we couldn’t agree more! The tour gave us a great overview of Alexandria. If we had one wish, it would be to spend more time exploring the Library, as it’s such an iconic landmark. Also, we believe the lunch could be improved a bit considering the overall price of the tour. Overall, Mahmut is a fantastic guide and we truly appreciated his knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly energy.
