Great experience. great guide, Armando who speaks perfect Italian, nice, helpful and professional. Pickup service included.

Visit to Alexandria very beautiful
A very interesting visit, very well organized. The guide spoke very good Italian. They picked us up at the hotel and took us to Alexandria. We saw many archaeological sites and finally the beautiful library. A dream come true. We also ate very well and especially typical, discovering a simple but very good cuisine. At the end of the visit we were taken back to the hotel. 🇪🇬🇮🇹♥️
Response from the operator: it means a lot that you had a enjoy time♥️

Cairo to Alexandria
I come from San Diego and booked with the Travel Connections Tour as they are connected to my hotel Best View Pyramids. The tour guide spoke English pretty well, and was there on time at the lobby. I booked this as part of my honeymoon trip, and it was a private tour which was perfect. They picked me up in a Mercedez that was clean. I had the opportunity to visit the Library of Alexandria, the Qaitbay Castle, among other places. The tickets to all stops were included. We had lunch that was also part of my booking. I recommend it to people from the US.
Response from the operator: We’re so pleased you appreciated the detailed history shared at Egypt’s archaeological sites. Thanks for your review!

I COME FROM DAYTON OHIO AND IM AN AFRICAN AMERICAN.
The Travel Connection Tours is the best company in Giza. The tour guide is fluent in English and other languages. The guide was punctual and professional. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Even with me traveling solo, I felt safe and secure. It’s homie away from homie. Highly recommended. If I could give 10 stars I would. I went to the Nile cruise and the pyramids of Giza. And The Égyptien museum. Had an amazing time. No better company. I highly recommend them. I come from Dayton, Ohio. This was my first solo trip to Egypt. When I come back, I’ll use The Travel Connection Tours. I highly recommend them. No competition around.
Response from the operator: Your satisfaction is our top priority. Thanks for sharing!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cairo to Alexandria Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Cairo to Alexandria Day cost?
+
Prices start at $201 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 Cairo to Alexandria Day take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Cairo to Alexandria Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cairo to Alexandria Day?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Cairo to Alexandria Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cairo to Alexandria Day?
+
Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cairo to Alexandria Day 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.
