Great day trip to Alexandria

Published on Oct, 2023

Great private tour from Cairo taking in the many of the main sites. Start early to beat the traffic is worth it. Visited the catacombs, amphitheater, Roman pillar, library and the fort. Plenty to see and I love the fact of the Mediterranean coast. My favorite was the fort. Quite new in Egyptian terms at 800 years old but wonderful as you look out on the sea. End with lunch. Choose the Fish Market. Has a sea view of the fort while I enjoyed grouper served with rice, salads and lots of wonderful fresh made bread. And the my guide Mimo was fabulous. Used him for three different excursions and he made everything easy. He sorted all the tickets and would adjust to accommodate our requests.

Everything you need to see in Alexandria with a great guide. Nour was super nice, knowledgeable, and incredible with time management at every stop. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore the city with a private guide.

Amazing experience

Our guide Abraham was very knowledgable about the sites, very patient with us and took us to other sites along with the ones advertised that were amazing. Definitely book a tour and ask for him specifically. I will definitely use him for all of my Egypt Tours from now on.
