A massive 30m column looms over the debris of the glorious ancient settlement of Rhakotis, the original township from which Alexandria grew. Known as Pompey’s Pillar, for centuries the column, hewn from red Aswan granite, has been one of the city’s prime sights: a single, tapered shaft, 2.7m at its base and capped by a fine Corinthian capital. The column rises out of the sparse ruins of the Temple of Serapeum, a magnificent structure that stood here in ancient times. then drive back to your hotel.

This is the worst tour...
This is the worst tour that we booked through you. We were very disappointed about this tour. The guide’s English was very hard to understand, may be 10%. The car had no ac. The tour hours were cut short, only about >3 hrs for 6 hrs tour.

Terrible Communication; Exellent Tour!
If can get past the uncertainty as to where to meet the guide (outside the port gate - about 1000 steps) one will have an excellent experience with a great guide. The tour included two more stops than what was advertised - a nice bonus.. Lunch was at a place frequented by locals with authentic food, yet safe for tourists. I reviewed this as five star because I did not want to diminish the credit given to the great guide, but were I to rate response to my multiple inquiries, it would be one star.

Wonderful Alexandria tour!
Our guide Samira was wonderful and gave us a great tour of some of the most interesting sites in Alexandria. Very knowledgeable and never rushed, a real pleasure.

Lovely Day
We had a lovely day in Alexandria touring the catacombs, the amphitheater, the library and the fort.

touring Alexandria
The excursion was very interesting. Isaac was a very knowledgeable guide and the driver did a good job driving in very busy traffic. The citadel of Qaitbey, the Catacombs and the Roman amphitheatre all involved a number of steps and uneven ground. Good shoes are needed.

Shore Excursion: Alexandria City Tour from Alexandria Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alexandria.
How much does Shore Excursion: Alexandria City Tour from Alexandria Port cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Shore Excursion: Alexandria City Tour from Alexandria Port 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 Shore Excursion: Alexandria City Tour from Alexandria Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 21 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 Shore Excursion: Alexandria City Tour from Alexandria Port?
+
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 Shore Excursion: Alexandria City Tour from Alexandria Port 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 Shore Excursion: Alexandria City Tour from Alexandria Port?
+
Around 7 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 Shore Excursion: Alexandria City Tour from Alexandria Port 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 Half Day Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, Alexandria Full Day Tour, 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.
