Amazing Alexandrian Adventure

Richard_S, Oct 2025

Beautiful Alexandria. Beautiful people with my guides Kareem and Macy. It has been my dream to visit this historic place especially the great Library and famous garden of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. This experience is a dream come true. My driver from Cairo was excellent. And throughout the whole day trip I feel extremely comfortable and pampered with lunch at Hotel Restaurant. Kareem was fun and knowledgeable of the place. Macy came when we were visiting catacombs as my English guide. Both guides were fabulous. I enjoyed the entire Alexandria experience. I shall go back again. I want to spend more time on the beach garden and on the wharf with boats. So beautiful and relaxing. I also had the opportunity both the famous mosque (under renovation) and St. Mark's Orthodox church and a little souvenir shop I bought some crafts with. The lunch at the hotel overlooking the old town with Roman ruins was excellent. Food was tasty, something local, something Alexandrian, something Egyptian. Also, the tour provided me with water which was really needed on a hot day during my tour. With the best experience I have, a generous heart of mine made some generous tips. Thank you Viator.

Come drive past the sites of Alexandria

I was really debating this review. First, there is a lot to see in one day in alexandria. Add that its 6-7hours round trip. So initially I was not upset that we just drove past a few of our highlighted stops. But then after asking if we can stop to take a quick photo or enjoy the view. The guide said yes, but in fact meant No. Ok if there isnt time, but dont just tell me what I want to hear, be honest. At one point me and the other travelers just walked away to the bay to take some photos. So if you are good at taking photos from a speeding car, or you do not like to walk and want to see the whole city in AC comfort. This is your tour. Do not eat the lunch. Costs 500el for group and guide charged 440el each person. I have no problem paying, just be honest.
