So much to see and experience in Alexandria
While it was true that the driver picked us up an hour late, the content of the tour more than made up for this slight inconvenience. The drive was beautiful through the Egyptian countryside and Alexandria itself. Enjoyed both the Roman Catacombs Kom El shoqafa and the new Library of Alexandria was fascinating. Throughout the tour our guide shared with us history in a concise and interesting manner and also chatted with us about more personal mundane info related to raising a family in Egypt and living/working there. we all appreciated learning about and it was obvious that he loved his country. The lunch was at an authentic Egyptian restaurant which we also appreciated. Even though the drive was long, it was worth the effort and we were super glad that we went. Very worth the money.
Response from the operator: Dear Curious, Thank you so much for your great review and feedback after your amazing Day tour to Alexandria from Cairo. We are so happy that you had a great experience with us. We look forward to seeing you again next year with us for more great experiences Best regards Rana

Seeing beautiful Alexandria, Egypt!!!
The tour of Alexandria was very good. We had an excellent tour guide. Adam was very knowledge and interesting. Our bus was an hour late, which was unfortunate, and our driver didn’t speak English. We picked up Adam on the other side of Cairo, so then everything was explained to us. Our driver was excellent at driving through some very heavy traffic. We were able to see the highlights of Alexandria without a lot of walking. Then we experienced a traditional Egyptian meal at a wonderful restaurant. This side trip for our last day in Egypt was incredible! Thank you!!!
Response from the operator: Dear kearstinr Thank you very much for your great support and great review .we are happy you had a nice day the beautiful city of Alexandria. we are very sorry about the delaying of the driver. it seems that he though that Pick up time at 08:00 and not 07:00 we are happy that you are able to see all attractions in Alexanderia and the guide did a great Job Best Regards Ahmed

Very disappointing day trip.
Our driver was over an hour late on picking up our party of 11 at our hotel. The van was shoddy and VERY uncomfortable for the 6 hr. round trip. The Library, Citadel and Pompey’s Pillar were not impressive after seeing the pyramids, Valley of the Kings and Abul Simbal. The catacombs were interesting. Our tour guide was ok. He didn’t use any microphone so it was hard to hear all his commentary.
Response from the operator: Dear Mcs494, Thank you for your feedback, it helps us to understand How was your trip.we are very sorry for the Driver delaying and that you dont feel very comfortable in the Mini bus. we agree with you The Pyramids,the valley of the kings and Abu simble are more impressive than The Library, Citadel and Pompey’s Pillar as Point of view we are looking forward to seeing you in Egypt again. Our customer service has contact you by E-mail Best Regards

Safe, comfortable, well organized and expensive trip
It was a safe, comfortable and well organized trip, but I found the content weak. We should have seen much more places in a 1 day trip. It was including 3 places and 1 (without entering inside the place ) The price was high comparing to the including. The guide's English accent is different, like egyptian dialect. She needs to improve her pronunciation to make it more understandable and clean. But in general this experience was above avarage. We took very nice photos. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you found the trip safe, comfortable, and well-organized. We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the content of the tour.

We will take this into consideration as we review and improve our itineraries. Regarding the guide's English, we appreciate your feedback on her pronunciation. We are always working to improve the quality of our services, and we will ensure that our guides receive the necessary support to improve clarity and communication. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed taking beautiful photos, and we hope that despite the areas you mentioned, you had an overall positive experience.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day tour to Alexandria from Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Day tour to Alexandria from Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $135 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 Day tour to Alexandria from Cairo 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Day tour to Alexandria from Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 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 Day tour to Alexandria 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 Day tour to Alexandria from Cairo suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Day tour to Alexandria from Cairo?
+
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 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day tour to Alexandria 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.
