The experience of my trip to Alexandria with your agency was great. I can't describe the beauty of the seascape and enjoy the taste of delicious seafood. Visiting the tombs of Kom Al-Shaqafa added a distinctive historical touch to the trip. Thanks for organizing the trip and providing an unforgettable experience.

Worse tour ever! Started off that they were late, excuse was that the driver was sleepy. The car was old, dirty and beat up. The three of us were cramped in the back for the more than 2 hours each way drive. The driver drove so fast while it was raining, that the car rattled. The worse part is that they never took us to the library, which is the main point of this tour. What a waste, because we traveled from USA to come here. My husband loves history and was looking forward to this vacation. However, this tour was a complete waste of our precious time here. Also, the fish house they took us to gave the three of us diarrhea. The fish house was a set meal with a disgusting monk fish. No other choice. I asked to purchase something more, which of course I would pay for. I was told there was no menu. However, other tables were eating different things.
Dear Ms Lee..at the beginning we would like to apologise about everything 1- the driver is late for 10 minutes only because the traffic was super Busy and it’s not something that we could do any thing about 2- the library. The government has been closed the library for three days until now the library doesn’t open and we couldn’t do anything about that situation. 3- for the Driver We apologise about his Driving 4- for the food as we write in our description that..we offer only 1 Meal and it’s fish Standard Meal 5- we promise you next time we will do all our best to make our service are better
Many things great there id like to recommend this City for All, its having great culture and history.also i want to say the guide and the Driver Was super..i enjoyed today with them!

When we returned, my family and I were looking for a short trip anywhere in Egypt until we found that the vibrant Egypt organizes a special daily tour of the city of Alexandria..It was a wonderful day there, the sun and nature were charming..The city seems very crowded, but when you go to the archaeological sites, you will find the right number of tourist places...I advise you to go to them, you will come back very happy
