I did the guided tour to Alexandria with Ibrahim as my driver and Heba as my tour guide. They were fantastic! Ibrahim was an awesome, energetic, kind driver, and Heba was an extremely informative tour guide with a lot of knowledge and history on Alexandria. I loved my experience and would highly recommend them!

Great Historical City, Wonderful Driver, Average Guide
WW_H, Apr 2024
It was our first day in Egypt, and our 3-hour car journey from Cairo to Alexandria was pleasant. The driver, Abdullah, was on time, polite and he did his best to converse with us in English (with assistance from Google Translate). He helped me brushed up my Arabic in a fun way by asking me to read the car number plates as we drove past them. Our guide was a young mother of two. While she was fluent in English, she gave us a skim-through summary of each site and gave us 15-20 minutes (instead of an hour as per the itinerary) to view the site! In short, we felt rushed. To be fair to her, however, the heat and the piercing sun rays were draining us by noon and so, we did not ask for a longer duration. Alexandria is a great city and worth the visit. We wish we had more energy to absorb its rich history and culture. Lunch (USD20 per pax at own cost) at the Fish Market was good! We had the best table there - a corner table facing the Mediterranean Sea; the grilled fish (main course) was fresh and delicious. As it was Ramadan, our guide was fasting and so, she sat waited for us at a table near the entrance of the restaurant while we ate. In the end, we decided to tip the driver more than the Guide.
Cairo to Alexandria
Shibila_R, Apr 2024
To and fro journey between Cairo and Alexandria was great. Our driver was super good , journey was very smooth. We spent only half day as Library was closed always on Friday. If you don’t want to miss library please don’t go to Alexandria on Friday.
Hit and miss
Rhi_S, Apr 2024
Our driver was great. The stops in alexandria were interesting. I felt like the guide could have done more to bring the history and importance of alexandria to life We were also charged extra to have a stop of lunch for some reason, but were still back in Cairo by 4pm after leaving at 615. So didn't really take any extra time.
Alexandria explorations
Al_A, Mar 2024
Our guide was very personable, professional and informative, we enjoyed the detailed explanations she provided to us.
Well worthwhile!
David_D, Mar 2024
Alexandria is a beautiful city and very worth visiting. Ghada was a fantastic guide. So knowledgeable but also not just facts. She made it interesting and intriguing. The drive from Cairo on the desert road was an experience - great driver, but crazy traffic on the way back. This is definitely the way to do a day trip to Alexandria. Our only comment is fortunately we brought some water bottles. The description on the website said we would get a water bottle each and we did not.
Beautiful Day in Alexandria
Tyler_M, Feb 2024
I had an excellent day tour. My driver was right on time picking me up. My guide was very knowledgeable and she was great at making sure all my questions were answered and helped get a deeper understanding of the city and culture of Alexandria. I didn't feel rushed at any of the sites and was able to enjoy the entire day.

We found this tour to be Very informative, and enjoyed our guide. She was very knowledgable about her city,Alexandria
Long drive, wonderful sights, delicious lunch!
Jillian_G, Jan 2024
If you are a nervous passenger, the 229km drive is not for you. Egyptian traffic is manic and chaotic! However, our driver was excellent and we got there and back without a major incident. The tour in Alexandria itself is worthwhile, different to Cairo with interesting sights. Our guide Mahmoud was very dedicated and informative, we enjoyed his talks. We had an amazing included lunch at a sea front restaurant, 4 of us had the traditional Alexandrian fish and rice meal plus mezze. Fish was incredibly fresh and tasty, a whole grilled fish! Delicious. Other options were available to non fish eaters, equally good. We were tired after a 12 hour day but it was totally worthwhile for a multi-generational family! 😁😁😁
Excellent service and value
Brock_M, Jan 2024

Alexandria the Greatest!
Tracy_M, Nov 2023
My only regret is that we didn’t have more time in Alexandria. We were met at our hotel in Cairo by fun and friendly driver, Ahmed with whom we spent a long day to and from Cairo. Booyah!! Mahmed, our tour guide in Alexandria was exceptional! His knowledge and expertise, and his friendliness made for a wonderful experience. Highly, highly recommended.
Educational day tour to Alexandria
Tatiana_R, Oct 2023
We had a great tour to Alexandria. Driver Yousef and tour guide Said from Emo Tours were very nice! Said was very knowledgeable and could answer every question we asked. Yousef was a great driver and very friendly person. It is really not easy to drive in Egypt. Just a need to leave a note for improvement. We had lunch included and arranged in some restaurant/ or cafe in Alexandria. The place was clean and waiters were polite though the food was very average in comparison with what we ate before and after this tour in other places in Egypt. The manager of the dining room was even rude to us. We felt pushed and disrespected. Emo Tours, please use different dining facility in Alexandria. Everything else was great! Thank you
Great Trip
Jack_N, Sep 2023

Nice trip a must visit if you are in Cairo.
Sanjay_G, Sep 2023
The city of Alexandria is known through the ages. I was so pleasant to see the city, it blue coast line, the catacomb, roman theatre, Pompey pillar and the castle. The lunch on the trip was tasty and filling. The guide Mr. Eslam was a knowledgeable person an gave full information of all the places we visited. He helped us by taking lots of photos from strategic position. The driver Hasan is perfect gentleman and on both from Cairo to Alexandria and back took lot of care.
Nice
