The entire experience was seamless and enjoyable, from the comfortable transportation to the knowledgeable and friendly guides. We explored the captivating city of Alexandria, immersing ourselves in its rich history and culture. The Citadel of Qaitbay, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa were just a few of the highlights. Our accommodation was cozy and comfortable, and the meals were delicious and authentic. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable group experience in Egypt.

As a solo traveler, I was hesitant to join a group tour, but the positive reviews convinced me to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! The tour was well-organized and catered to both solo travelers and groups. The guides were attentive and made sure everyone felt included. I made new friends along the way, and we had a blast exploring Alexandria’s fascinating landmarks. I particularly enjoyed the visit to the Serapeum, an ancient underground temple complex. The tour was a great value for money, and I would definitely recommend it to other solo travelers seeking an enriching experience in Egypt.

What a fantastic trip! I booked the Overnight Tour to Alexandria as a solo traveler, and it exceeded all my expectations. Our guide, Hana, was not only informative but also made the tour fun. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina was a marvel of modern architecture, and I couldn’t believe I was standing in a place with so much historical significance. A must-do tour for history and culture enthusiasts!
