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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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! 😁😁😁

Pick up and drop off from our hotel in Cairo was seamless. Our tour guide in Alexandria was knowledgeable, and we were able to see a lot for one day.
