5 star tour with Shery
We really enjoyed the tour today - it was well organised, and Shery our tour guide was informative, friendly and really intelligent. She was really fun and helpful, and had incredible English so was easy to follow and understand. A great itinerary of Alexandria and a good mix of things to see. Our only suggestion would be for lunch to be before the library as people were quite hungry by then (around 1pm). Otherwise really enjoyed it - thank you 😊

Great Driver and Guide
The tour itself is fine, but the staff are excellent. We were fortunate enough to get a tour with Bilal and Nirmal. Bilal is a fantastic driver, navigating difficult traffic between Cairo and Alexandria with ease and grace. Nirmal was wonderful and perfectly balanced information with autonomy. Didn’t try to upsell tours to the perfume shop or extra and very knowledgeable about the area.

Mediocre tour service and guide
We scheduled this tour to Alexandria from Cairo based on my chatting with Viator agent. The price was average. The Private de luxe transportation was an old van for the four adults, driver spoke poor English, he tried but was frustrating, it was a non smoking vehicle but he smoke outside constantly and brought the stink of cigarette smoking inside of the van. The worse part was the guide in Alexandria, her English was poor, she tried to talk fast, the whole time she was tried to get it over, ignored our interests, very interested in us visiting the stores of we believe are their friends. Rushed thru the experience. We had traveled over 72 countries and 5 continents and this has been one of ours “no good”. I recommend that you check with the concierge of your hotel for recommendations, you may pay more but it may be worth it. Alexandria is an interesting place but 12 hours appears to be enough.

Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Alexandria Day Tour From Cairo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
