• 3Ok tour with too many upsales

  This is a really long day, ours ran from 7am to 8pm. We did get to see the pyramids of Giza, the as phinx, Egyptian museum and had a wonderful lunch on the banks of the Nile. However, we found the several stops at over-priced stores "just for the experience, no need to buy anything" really detracted from the day, as each time we politely declined to buy we received odd looks and various comments to include "you're breaking my heart". My suggestion would be to tell your guide upfront that you have zero interest in any shopping or experiences outside of the official itinerary.

• 5Uniquely good experience

  This tour was well designed, reasonably priced, and perfectly executed. Everything promised was delivered. Mahmoud, our artist-driver, with his charming smile was a real pleasure to spend time with during the long return trip. Mohammed showed vast knowledge of Egyptology and was extremely attentive to our needs and particularly flexible in responding to our requests. Thank you for a wonderful day.

• 5Good trip with a good guide.

  Our tour leader is a professional guide Rumani (Ru). He lead us to visit pyramids and went through Egypt museum with clearly knowledge. The most important thing is that he knows to make good points of ancient pieces. The van was also good which was important for 3 hours driving time in one way. The tour is worthy.

• 1Kidnapped to Cairo

  Don't book this tour with Viator. Emo travel have no identification at port exit and don't have your name printed anywhere to show you. I did not want to get in the car they offered me on my own with no English spoken by the driver. It looked like a dirty Kia Cerato Uber car. There was no seatbelt clasp to put the belt in the back seat so I sat in the dirty front seat with no A/C all the way to Cairo with my head blown by the wind. After thar the Guide was OK when the driver eventually found him up in the flithy back streets of Cairo. The activities were OK and the lunch good. Unfortunately the guide the next day in Alexandria refuted most of the statistical information Acmat had given me in Cairo. The journey back was pleasant in an airconditioned clean newish car, as the guide had arranged it.

• 5A fantastic day tour of Cairo from Alexandria

  Our tour guide Islam and Mohammad the driver made this whole day tour smooth, comfortable, informative and educational. The pyramids were unbelievably magnificent after all these years. The museum has many mummies that were well preserved over thousands of years. After being out in the hot sun, the most welcome drink was the freshly squeezed sugar juice, so thirst quenching and refreshing, very thoughtful of our tour guide. Egyptian buffet lunch was very good. We truly enjoyed this tour.

About Alexandria

Alexandria, Egypt's Mediterranean port, was founded by Alexander the Great and holds Roman ruins, a harbour fort and a modern library by the sea.

Alexander the Great founded the city in 331 BC, and for centuries it was the capital of Ptolemaic Egypt, with a great library and the Pharos, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The lighthouse fell to earthquakes, and the Citadel of Qaitbay, a fifteenth-century fort on its site, now guards the harbour mouth. The Corniche runs for miles along the bay in front of tall, weather-worn apartment blocks.

Top-ranked sights in Alexandria: Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Roman Amphitheatre, Citadel of Qaitbay (Fort Qaitbey).
