Below standard experience
The tour guide was knowledgeable for the sites that we visited. However, we arrived late at the library and was not allowed to enter. We were supposed to have drinks and snacks, but we only received one bottle of water and one can of soda on the return back to our hotel after walking in the hot sun all day. We were promised that we could stop to shop for 30 mins in the market, but the tour guide tried to take us a a gov’t shopping location in which we refused to go in. Then, he said the traffic was bad in Alexandria and it would be better to stop in Cairo for shopping, but that never happened. This was the last day of our vacation and this tour Company was by far not to the standards of the other tour companies we used during our week vacation.

beautiful day spent touring thru history
Ahmed Elsayed was our guide, friendly, very informative & knowledgeable. he pointed out sights on the drive from Giza to Alexandria. he made sure we ate and helped us navigate the entrance fee purchases for our stops. he kept us on schedule & let us take our time at each sight. well planned tour day. our driver was Hossam, who kept us safe & knew how to weave us in and out of the streets of Alexandria with an expertise that only an excellent driver in Egypt would have. highly recommend.

Cheap so not very good
We took the French version of the excursion, the price is interesting because cheaper than the other ones but the quality isn’t there The car wasn’t Clean, and there wasn’t any air conditioning for the first half of the day even With the very hot weather. The guide didn’t speak French very well and the explanations weren’t very elaborate and were at times repetitive

Alexandria day trip with Nour
Tour started with pick up from my Giza hotel around 7am. It took about 3 hours to get to Alexandria. On the way there was rest stop. Wifi was provided in the car when asked - seems to be a hot stop from the tour guides phone. In Alexandria went to the catacombs, the pillar of Ptolemy - we did not really go in there as there wasn't much to see there, next to citadel of Qaitbay - lovely place, followed by bonus aquarium visit. Had local meal Koshary for lunch afterwards at a sea side restaurant. The guide Nour kindly allocated some time for me the do my prayers at local mosque after lunch. After prayer visited the new library of Alexandria. Left Alexandria around 2pm for 3 hours drive back to Giza again. In Giza area went a papyrus gallery and a perfume/aromatherapy place as part of the day tour. And back to hotel by little after 5pm. In All and all about 4 hours were spent in Alexandria. I hope my review helps you in planning your visit.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Ultimate Alexanderia day Tour from Cairo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does The Ultimate Alexanderia day Tour from Cairo cost?
+
Prices start at $19 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 The Ultimate Alexanderia day Tour 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 The Ultimate Alexanderia day Tour from Cairo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 17 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 The Ultimate Alexanderia day Tour 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 The Ultimate Alexanderia day Tour 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 The Ultimate Alexanderia day Tour from Cairo?
+
Around 6 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 The Ultimate Alexanderia day Tour 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.
