Highly Recommend This Tour with This Team!
We highly recommend this tour with this team. We arrived a day early to Cairo to add this tour on the front end of our Trafalgar Best of Egypt trip. Our driver Ashraf was timely, kind, well conversational in English, and also answered all our questions to and from Alexandria. Our guide in Alexandria, Rasha, gave us a fantastic introduction to Egypt with her interesting descriptions and history of the sites we visited in her very clear, excellent English. She gave us all the time we wanted at each location, gave us choices along the way, answered our many questions, and was so very knowledgeable, kind, and pleasant to spend the day with. We highly recommend and would rebook with this team again ourselves for further exploration!
Response from the operator: Your positive feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!

A Great Time in Alexandria
My brother and I had the best experience in Alexandria, and Heba, our tourist guide, was the person who made that experience more enjoyable and acknowledgable. She explained us everything in a easy and well-done way that we got a better understanding of how was the old life and culture and in Alexandria compared with the rest of Egypt. Heba was beyond our expectations and we're so grateful for having her as our guide.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for a valued feedback. We are happy you loved it. It was a pleasure having you.

A happy trip
From the moment we met Karim in Alexandria he made us smile and it seemed everyone in Alexandria knew and loved him. He spoke very good English and provided lots of information on the places we saw and answered all our questions. He gave us as much time as we needed and we felt very honoured to be escorted around Alexandria by him. This tour company included visits to all the important sites. Don’t use a company that ‘passes by’ sites, you will miss out on some fascinating places. Also a shout out for our driver from Giza to Alexandria and back. We felt safe with him and his English was good enough for him to tell us about the sites and countryside that we passed on the journey. We chose not to stop on the journey and it took just over two hours each way. One tip. We didn’t book the tour inclusive of entrance fees (on any day of our holiday) as our research showed that we could book entrance tickets cheaper online ourselves. We didn’t manage to get the tickets for Alexandria beforehand so Karim took us to a ticket machine at the first stop where he helped us buy all the tickets. It took moments and was so much cheaper than paying the tour company to organise the tickets.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your valued & detailed feedback. It was such a pleasure having you as our guests. Hope you loved your time in Egypt. Much appreciated!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Alexandria Highlights Private Day Tour From Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Alexandria Highlights Private Day Tour From Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Alexandria Highlights Private Day Tour From Cairo take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Alexandria Highlights Private Day Tour From Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Alexandria Highlights Private 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 Highlights Private Day Tour From Cairo suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Alexandria Highlights Private Day Tour From Cairo?
+
Around 9 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 Giza 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 Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Alexandria Highlights Private 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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 Giza?
+
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 Giza?
+
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.
