Private Alexandria Tour
We toured Alexandria in a car with a guide and driver for the day. Fantastic way to do a day tour. The guide was very good, helpful and spoilt us with a wonderful lunch, cold drinks and ice cream. Would definitely recommend doing this tour. It is the best way to see the sites of Alexandria

Another on-time pick up. Great. I...
<p>Another on-time pick up. Great. I booked this trip b/c it entailed a 3 hour drive which allowed me to see parts of Egypt, albeit driving on the road. Wished I had another guide. His first interest was my marital and family status travelled by myself. He fell asleep for 20 minutes less than half way to Alex and periodically nodded off on the way back. The driver kept looking at him in disbelief.,,I felt the same way. </p> <p>I had two other guides who spoke and understood English better than he did. He told me before we went into the library at Alex that I could not take pictures. He again mentioned it several times and I repeatedly asked where are the signs that said I could not. Lo and behold, people were taking pictures. And no such signs existed. Hmmm! I have to say that particular guide was off putting in many ways. He gave me information on the tours of the places we visited such as the Citadel and a burial tomb that I could have read myself. In fact, I did just that b/c I couldn't understand him at times.</p> <p>The driver, on the other hand, was awesome. He spoke very little English so there wasn't much of any communication. However, he handled the traffic skillfully and is to be recommended for that. And let it be known that driving in Cairo is a skill that is a must.</p>

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full-Day Tour: Alexandria Historical Sites from Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Full-Day Tour: Alexandria Historical Sites from Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Alexandria Historical Sites 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Private Full-Day Tour: Alexandria Historical Sites from Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Alexandria Historical Sites 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Alexandria Historical Sites from Cairo 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Alexandria Historical Sites from Cairo?
+
Around 1 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 Private Full-Day Tour: Alexandria Historical Sites 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 Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel Ride, Lunch & Inside pyramids. 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.
