★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,312 reviews · 10 hours · from $87Our pick

Review of Cairo to Alexandria day trip with catacombs, Roman ruins, Qaitbay Citadel, seafood lunch, transport, tips, and value.

“The trip was amazing. Our tour guide I think her name is Manal was very knowledgeable and pleasant. She answered all of our questions. The trip itself was very good. The only not that great experience was lunch itself. The food wasn’t the best, and we did not get anything to drink. We weren’t even ask if we want to pay more for that. In my opinion that was strange. But overall it was a great day. Thank you ☺️”

3.Alexandria Catacomb, Lighthouse, Citadel Trip & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 98 reviews · from $10

Review of a Cairo to Alexandria day trip covering catacombs, Roman ruins, the library, Qaitbay Citadel, Montaza Gardens, and lunch.

“This tour was disappointing in that it was not really a small group tour. There were approximately 30 people on the tour with the result that it was difficult to hear the guide, particularly in crowded areas. The guide also did not give a great deal of information about each site, probably due to the difficulty of communicating to a large group with no electronic whisper units.”
