Private Alexandria Day Trip from Cairo

Our tour was supposed to start at 7 am. The driver did not show up until 8:50 am. I phoned the tour operator few times but there was no answer. I asked the hotel concierge for assistance and he was able to reach the tour operator and she informed him that the driver went to the wrong Marriott. However, when I spoke with her she told me that the driver had an accident. The driver drove us in a Nissan Sunny and the seats were very uncomfortable for a 2.5 hrs drive each way. His driving was very aggressive and my wife was very scarred. He continuously drove between 130 to 140 kph. I did ask him to slow down. The guide was very difficult to understand at start, she talked fast. She would walk 20 to 30 feet ahead of us. I did tell her that we both had surgery recently and she needs to slow down. This tour cost us over $210 US and not to mention the stress, and I would not do it for free. We are both very disappointed and Viator needs to evaluate operators more carefully!

A long day with minimal wow factor. The guide had poor English and did the minimal only. Did not engage in conversation much with us. The lunch was average, was not offered water, charged extra for chicken, given a drink, non alcoholic, which we thought was included in the meal then charged extra at the end. I have done many Viator tours previously and this was easily the worst. The driver though was fantastic. Loved his job and loved Egypt.

Our experience was not too great. We traveled from Cairo to Alexandria. Vehicle and driver arrived on time. The tour guide joined us at the first spot. We found the tour guide in a sort of hurry. She provided a 5-7 minute brief at the entrance of each tourist spot and did not accompany with us inside the monument (except Catacomb). Information was basic and nothing beyond the books/internet. Lunch was included in the package but we had to pay extra for making it Non-Veg. No such thing was mentioned at the time of booking. We also paid for all non alcoholic drinks. Trip was for a 10-12 hour duration but we were back in 9.5 hours. And finally, I think the driver mentioned that the ‘Tip’ was less than his expectations - although I thought it was in line with other similar trips. Perhaps, based on my earlier experience with such package deals at locations in Egypt, I was expecting a better deal Personally, I would not recommend this package

Very bad and poor start . Tour was scheduled for 7 am ..till 7:15 no updates from EMO tours about the driver. After chasing them , they today driver is on the way and when asked how much time ..it’s mentioned 45 more mins. Very poor coordination and start of the tour.. I will not recommend Emo tours travel

We had a grand time! We were picked up in a nice and air conditioned car with an extremely friendly and helpful driver. We then took a 2.5 hour drive to Alexandria and our driver was pointing out all the sights to us. When we arrived at our first point, we met our guide, Shari. She was also very nice and gave us some history on each stop. She kept a nice pace too … not rushed, but not lingering either. She also was very nice with the picture taking at each sight. Finally, we had a nice fish lunch in a restaurant overlooking the Citadel before heading back to the hotel. We’d highly recommend this tour!
