We had a memorable day! Fatma is a very knowledgeable guide, she provided us with all the most advanced information, my family and I learned so much. She was kind and well educated and fun to be with and a great photographer. She made us feel so welcome. For lunch she took us to a very good quality restaurant where we ate great food. If you come to Egypt she must be your guide, you will love her like we do. We will he back to Cairo and make sure she is our guide. She is a star 💫. The driver was also excellent.
Wonderful Customized tour

Mohamed picked me up right on time in the morning. He gave me options of what to see throughout the day. He was knowledgeable and friendly and willing to answer my questions about the sights and Egyptian culture.
The restaurant we went to for lunch was excellent and had a great view of the harbour and the Citadel.
We had a wonderful day in Alexandria!

We really enjoyed our day trip to Alexandria. Ashraf our Egyptologist guide and Nour our driver from Tree of Life Tours were both phenomenal. They made us feel so comfortable, safe and engaged the entire day.
We went to the theater complex, catacombs, had a delicious lunch at the fish market overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, then off to the modern library and the lighthouse.
Ashraf also opted to take us to another site where we learned the history of papyrus paper and saw a demonstration on how it’s made. I would definitely recommend this tour with Ashraf and Nour!
Great trip to Alexandria!

We had a great time in Alexandria! Our tour guide, Ashraf, is a great, genuine person and tour guide. We drove to Alexandria with a rest stop in the middle to pick up coffee. Once we made it in Alexandria, we visited the catacombs, monuments, and the amphitheater. My daughter had sun poisoning from a previous tour, and Ashraf was very kind to take us to a hospital and pharmacy to get her medicine. What a great person! He and the driver went out of the way to make sure my daughter was okay. We then went to lunch for some seafood, and the lunch was great! And I don’t really like fish! We then ended by visiting the library of Alexandria before heading home. We stopped at a pit stop on the way home. And Ashraf was kind enough to go to a great restaurant with Falafel that my daughter enjoyed! Thanks for a great day!!! Highly recommend! One of the best tours we have been on!
Excellent

This tour is everything you want and more. There are plenty of sights wrapped up in just one day tour, which makes it even more appealing. Radwan was by far one the best guides I have ever had the pleasure to go on a tour with. A great Egyptologist, always with an answer to any question I would have and further explanations when needed, fully knowledgeable about the culture and history of Egypt. The trip itself was smooth and I had a lovely time altogether. I highly recommend this tour. Don't hesitate to ask for Radwan as your tour guide, you'll also find a friend in him in Egypt.
The trip to Alexandria was memorable...

The trip to Alexandria was memorable. With great sights and great stories associated with them really made the place interesting
The reason I gave a two star was because our guide - Mr Khaled was not good at all. He would explain everything at the entrance of every site and would just wait for us at the entrance rather than doing a walk-through with us at the location. It was added by the fact that he was always in a hurry to head back to Cairo. He even discouraged us from visiting the Modern Library which was one of the must visit places in Alexandria. Overall our trip just ended up being not so great thanks to the guide that we had been allotted.

If you have just one day to visit Alexandria, I would strongly recommend this amazing tour. We were with the tour guide Ashraf Zakhaey and driver Ahmed Maged, who were extremely helpful and friendly. Ashraf is very knowledgeable with many years of experience, so he would never let you get bored, even when you have to stand in the traffic. Ashraf told us many interesting things about the city, the historical sites, architechtual works... which we really appreciated since we didn’t expect so much learnings in a day tour! Best of all, Ashraf and Ahmed made us very comfortable during the tour. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to have an interesting and full of information visit to Alexandria.
Excellent excursion. Our guide Ahmed...

This trip was a great experience. Our guide Mohamed was very friendly and helpful, and our driver was very safe. They took good care of us. The sites were mainly from the Roman period, which was a nice change from Cairo. I loved seeing the new Library of Alexandria. I enjoyed seeing some desert countryside, but the drive between the cities was pretty long. Overall, a great trip!

We booked the Alexandria day trip with guide and driver. Our guides name was Khaled Mamdouh, and the vehicle was a mini van with great air conditioning and lots of room.
Overall it was a great day, full of information, sights, and experiences. The main reason for the success of the tour was Khaled. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about all of the sights we visited and the history surrounding each, but more importantly, he was friendly, outgoing, down to earth, and engaging. This is an important element to have in your tour guide when youre spending 12 hours with him.
The Roman Catacombs are a must see, and Khaled provided the history and insight as we toured the depths of the tunnels. Pompeys Pillar, the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and a delicious fresh fish lunch served at a sea front restaurant were also highlights of the day. In addition to the tourist sites we visited, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience of traveling through the busy, chaotic, narrow streets of Alexandria. Getting safely from point A to B with no apparent rules of the road was incredible, and our driver, although probably used to it on a daily basis, performed admirably.
It was a long day, approximately 11-12 hours or so, but lots of history was seen and learned, and we got a taste of the local culture. I would definitely recommend Khaled as a tour guide, and will ask for him in the future when we return to Cairo which we will, as theres just too much to see in one visit.

Maged(Migo) was a SPECTACULAR tour guide and made our day trip one of the most memorable experiences in Our Egypt vacation. He was very knowledgeable about Egyptian history, culture, just..everything! Lunch was great, the places we visited were described before visiting, and he was funny. Book it!

Tour was everything promised and tour guide Adam was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional and had a wonderful sense of humour coupled with an excellent driver I could not ask for anything more and would highly recommend this tour. I also received a call from the company prior to the departure date asking if I would mind adding another passenger to my private tour. He stressed it was my decision and I could definitely have a private tour if that was what I wanted. I agreed to share and what a perfect decision as the addition was Juan a young man from Colombia and we had a wonderful time with Adam the tour guide also. It was a 3 hour ride with a break at half way but time went by fast and it was well worth the ride.

We did this tour on our first full day in Egypt. As there were just the two of us on the tour we could ask Mohammed, our guide, a lot of questions about Egypt in general and how to negotiate our way through the Egyptian culture and shopping. The five sites we visited were very good, however we had to shorten the visit to Kom El-Dekka Site Roman Amphitheatre as the Alexandria Library, our next place to visit, requires you to be part of a Library organised tour of its facilities. The trip was very much appreciated and the drive showed us a lot of the countryside.
This tour was wonderful. My guide...

In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above.
