    Very disappointing

    This trip was very disappointing. We did not experience the trip as advertised. Our guide was most apologetic but had only been employed on contract and did not know what should have been included in the tour. It took The trip in the boat was in a local fisherman's dinghy and did not go to the mouth of the Nile, just a few kms down the river to a local Mosque. We paid a considerable amount extra for a meal but were given a very basic offering with no choice, drinks or dessert included.

    Rosetta (aka Rashid) trip

    Tour guide Norhan was super friendly and knows how to read old Egyptian script. We went around the Rosetta stone citadel place and she was trying to read the script on the stones we found. Driver Mahmood was super intuitive - he always knew where to stop or where to go slower even without me telling him, as if he read my mind, so I could get nice photo and video from the car on the go. Both Norhan and Mahmood calculated schedule in such a way that to ensure that I make it on time for my next programme plan after the end of the tour. Special thanks to driver Mahmood's mama for giving me tasty home made jam to take home with me. Enjoyed my trip to Rosetta (aka Rashid).

    Rosetta disappointment

    We booked this tour and paid in advance. We turned up at the appointed time to find no car, no driver, no guide, no trip on the Nile. In fact no tour at all. We had a totally wasted day. To avoid disappointment we would definitely not recommend Ramasside tours or Viator.

    Response from the operator: We’re really sorry about what happened. The company had to cancel the trip and issue a refund to the customer due to an unusual situation with the guide, which the customer made us aware of. However, it appears that the client either did not have internet access or did not check the email notifying them of the tour cancellation.

    I do not recommend this tour

    We were very disappointed in the tour as we paid extra for lunch and VIP treatment. The boat trip was a 10 minute ride up the river in a very small boat. It certainly wasn’t a cruise to the mouth of the Nile. We had to buy our own water during the tour. Our guide on the day did not know that lunch was included in our package and multiple calls and negotiation were needed to get agreement that lunch would be provided. The lunch that was then organised ended up being a very cheap and unappetising meal with no drinks or dessert included. I do not recommend this trip or tour company.

    Great trip to Rosetta

    We had a wonderful time on our tour today. It was interesting to see where the Rosetta Stone was found, meeting with locals, and a casual boat ride. The driver and guide were punctual and very informative and accommodating.

    Rosetta Trip from Alexandria: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.

    How much does Rosetta Trip from Alexandria cost?

    +

    Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alexandria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Rosetta Trip from Alexandria take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Alexandria is not rushed.

    Is Rosetta Trip from Alexandria worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alexandria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Rosetta Trip from Alexandria?

    +

    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 Rosetta Trip from Alexandria suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rosetta Trip from Alexandria?

    +

    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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rosetta Trip from Alexandria 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Alexandria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alexandria Full Day Tour, Alexandria Full Day Trip, All inclusive private Giza pyramids,Sphinx & highlights of Cairo. 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 Alexandria?

    +

    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 Alexandria?

    +

    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.
