The activity was very well organised. The guide managed to quickly adapt to situations outside his control, namely: we were stuck on the highway just outside Cairo for 2 hours. We arrive late in Alexandria. The Guide thus decide that we go to visit immediately the most interesting historical sites. This was the perfect decision. We thus had lunch a bit later. Later, we could not visit the Citadelle since it closed earlier without notice. The guide organised thus for us a feluca ride.

Es una linda ciudad, aunque no es tan impresionante como la monumentalidad de otros lugares de Egipto. Fui con la intención de seguir huellas de Alejandro Magno y no hay nada relativo a él, tampoco se aborda mucho su historia. Lo más bonito fueron las catacumbas y el castillo. La biblioteca casi no se puede recorrer, tiene museos internos y exposiciones que no tienes tiempo de recorrer y se paga extra. Queda a varias horas de el Cairo. Creo que no vale mucho la pena hacer esta actividad. Translate this opinion into English.

It is a nice city, although it is not as impressive as the monuments of other places in Egypt. I went with the intention of following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great and there is nothing related to him, nor is there much discussion of his history. The most beautiful things were the catacombs and the castle. You can hardly visit the library, it has internal museums and exhibitions that you don't have time to visit and you have to pay extra. It is several hours from Cairo. I don't think it is worth doing this activity. Opinion translated. Show original.

El viaje a Alejandría es largo y yo tenía mayores expectativas sobre lo que se visitaría allí, es una ciudad hermosa a la orilla del mar, pero los monumentos visitados no son tan cautivantes, no se va a muchos lugares y es más el tiempo libre que te dan para caminar por cada lugar en el que te dejan que lo que ves. El viaje cansa mucho si se va y regresa el mismo día. El almuerzo no es gran cosa. Translate this opinion into English.

The trip to Alexandria is long and I had higher expectations about what to see there. It is a beautiful city on the seashore, but the monuments visited are not that captivating, you don't go to many places and you have more free time to walk around each place they let you than what you see. The trip is very tiring if you go and come back the same day. Lunch is not great. Opinion translated. Show original.

O passeio a Alexandria foi excelente. Carro com ar condicionado, motorista atencioso, dirige bem, carro sempre à disposição. A guia Shaima fluente em português, sempre atenciosa e simpática, com bastante conhecimento e propriedade nas explicações. Todo o serviço dela foi excelente. Com ela (Shaima) e o mesmo motorista também fizemos o tour pelo Cairo e também pirâmides + Memphis + Saqqara. Shaima Amir excelente guia! Parabéns!

Muy bien. Fuimos en un vehículo estupendo, con un conductor excelente. El guía Ahmed, un encanto, siempre pendiente de nosotros. Vimos los lugares más destacados de Alejandría, comimos en un lugar que no estuvo mal. Lo que más destaco es la amabilidad de todo el mundo. Translate this opinion into English.

Very good. We went in a great vehicle, with an excellent driver. The guide Ahmed was a delight, always looking out for us. We saw the most important places in Alexandria, we ate in a place that was not bad. What I highlight most is the kindness of everyone. Opinion translated. Show original.

Que decir de Alejandría.... Muy bonita. Nuestro guía Taha, disfrutaba de lo que hacía y así lo transmitía. Hicimos una actividad más fuera de lo establecido en el tour, en este caso se visitó el museo greco-romano. Actividad opcional, que para mi gusto, era un poco cara (20€ por persona), sabiendo después el precio que tenian las entradas (300 LE). Translate this opinion into English.

What can I say about Alexandria... Very beautiful. Our guide Taha enjoyed what he did and conveyed it. We did one more activity outside of what was established in the tour, in this case we visited the Greco-Roman museum. An optional activity, which for my taste, was a bit expensive (20€ per person), considering the price of the tickets (300 LE). Opinion translated. Show original.

La guida Ayman e l'autista sono stati semplicemente fantastici. Conoscevamo già Ayman, ci ha fatto molto piacere ritrovarlo ed è stato guida personale di mio fratello, oltre che a preoccuparsi per me durante l'arco della giornata, perché non ho potuto partecipare all'escursione per un'intossicazione alimentare.

MUY EXACTA Y OPORTUNA - LÁSTIMA QUE NO ESTABA ABIERTA LA BIBLIOTECA DE ALEJANDRÍA POR FERIADO, pero LO COMPENSARON con una visita a una MEZQUITA muy linda y bueno - valió la pena el desvío ...La comida muy rica ....la guía espectacular - no nos dejó una pregunta pendiente y fue muy amplia pero concisa en sus respuestas lo que no hacía muy interesante preguntarle. el CONDUCTOR también buenísimo - todo lo hicimos en buen tiempo. Translate this opinion into English.

VERY ACCURATE AND TIMELY - SHAME THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA WAS NOT OPEN DUE TO A HOLIDAY, but THEY COMPENSATED FOR IT with a visit to a very nice and good MOSQUE - it was worth the detour...The food was very delicious....the guide was spectacular - He didn't leave us a question pending and he was very broad but concise in his answers which didn't make it very interesting to ask him. The DRIVER was also very good - we did everything in good time. Opinion translated. Show original.

The Alexandria tour was expertly guided throughout, the Catacombs carved deep in to bedrock were a treasure; Pompey’s pillar is 700 tone marvel of precision engineering and a logistical mystery. The fort of Alexandria and the surrounding citadel have been beautifully restored and the view of the City from here is panoramic. The modern building of the Alexandria library houses both ancient and more contemporary treasures and manuscripts and an in-house guide gives a presentation worth a listen.

Traslado largo pero esa es la única opción si quieres conocer Alejandría en un día. La guía era muy amable y hablaba muy bien el español. Conocimos todos los puntos que teníamos en la agenda. El único punto flojo fue el almuerzo incluido, aparte que se equivocaban mucho en los pedidos, la comida no era buena. Translate this opinion into English.

Long transfer but that is the only option if you want to see Alexandria in one day. The guide was very friendly and spoke Spanish very well. We knew all the points we had on the agenda. The only weak point was the included lunch, apart from the fact that they made a lot of mistakes in the orders, the food was not good. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo fue perfecto. Nos vinieron a buscar puntuales al hotel y desde ese mismo momento, nuestro guía Ahmed, estuvo pendiente de nosotros, asegurándose de que en todo momento estuviéramos bien y no nos faltara nada. Al llegar a los sitios a visitar, nos dio muy buenas explicaciones de todo y luego siempre nos dejó un tiempo libre para verlo todo a nuestro ritmo y sin prisas en ningún momento. Ahmed es muy amable y atento. 100% recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was perfect. They came to pick us up at the hotel on time and from that moment on, our guide, Ahmed, was watching over us, making sure that we were fine at all times and that we didn't miss anything. When we arrived at the places to visit, he gave us very good explanations of everything and then always left us free time to see everything at our own pace and without rushing at any time. Ahmed is very kind and attentive. 100% recommendable. Opinion translated. Show original.

Poco tiempo para ver la biblioteca, los otros paseos bien de tiempo. Hay muchos otros paseos en Alejandría que deberían incluir para ver. La comida en el restaurante Panorama, no me gustó para nada. Un pescado frito con mucho aceite, comida fría y sin opción para elegir. El guía y el conductor muy majos, lo mejor del paseo.

Little time to see the library, the other walks have plenty of time. There are many other walks in Alexandria that you should include to see. I didn't like the food at the Panorama restaurant at all. A fried fish with a lot of oil, cold food and no option to choose. The guide and driver were very nice, the best part of the ride.

El recorrido es justo lo que dice, la bilbioteca estaba cerrada :(, debimos recordarle al guía que debia llevarnos a la mezquita, el almuerzo fue en un sitio con vista al mar, estaba bien la comida. Hubiesemos querido disfrutar de un pequeño paseo por la orilla del mar para reponer el tiempo que no se tuvi en la biblioteca. El guia muy amable pero con un español muy limitado, por lo tanto no estaba en capacidad de dar toda la informacion de los lugares

La guía Israa un encanto, mejor imposible. Lo único a mejorar, nos habría gustado más información y explicaciones dentro de los lugares visitados: más datos dentro de las galerías de las catacumbas, de las pinturas (qué significaban, fechas, etc)... por ejemplo. Todo eso supongo que será cuestión del planning, no de la guía. Por lo demás, perfecto. Translate this opinion into English.

The Israa guide is a charm, it couldn't be better. The only thing to improve, we would have liked more information and explanations within the places visited: more information within the galleries of the catacombs, about the paintings (what they meant, dates, etc)... for example. I suppose all of this will be a matter of planning, not the guide. Otherwise, perfect. Opinion translated. Show original.

Journée à Alexandrie avec visite des catacombes, le pompey's pillar, la citadelle et la Corniche. Grâce à ma super guide Nérine qui parle parfaitement le français, à son excellente connaissance de la ville (sa ville), de son histoire et de l'histoire de l'Égypte, cette journée a été au top. D'autant que Nérine aime réellement ce qu'elle fait et on a un très grand plaisir à l'écouter et à échanger avec elle. Bravo et merci à Nérine.
