Relizamos con mi novia la excursión del día para Alejandría, nosotros ya estábamos en Alejandría el grupo venía del cairo dijeron hora de recogida a las 9 y terminaron llegando 10:30, la explicaciones del guía excelentes la verdad muy entretenido. Lo único malo que tendrían que agregar algún lugar más por ejemplo de teatro greco romano, justo ese día no pudimos ir a la biblioteca porque era día festivo Translate this opinion into English.

My girlfriend and I took the day trip to Alexandria. We were already in Alexandria, and the group came from Cairo. They said the pickup time was at 9, but they ended up arriving at 10:30. The guide's explanations were excellent, really entertaining. The only downside is that they should add another place, for example, a Greco-Roman theater. That day we couldn't go to the library because it was a holiday. Opinion translated. Show original.

Contratei o passeio com um mês de antecedência e em nenhum momento foi dito que a biblioteca estaria fechada por causa de um feriado. Escolhi a segunda pq era o dia que não fecha. Soube somente na van qdo a guia informa a visita a dois monumentos e almoçaríamos e voltaríamos para o hotel. Questionei sobre a biblioteca e a informação na reserva de outros locais para serem vistos na sexta e sábado qdo ela efetivamente está fechada, nesse momento ela incluiu os outros.

I booked the tour a month in advance and at no point was it mentioned that the library would be closed due to a holiday. I chose Monday because it was the day it doesn't close. I only found out in the van when the guide informed us about visiting two monuments and that we would have lunch and return to the hotel. I questioned about the library and the information in the reservation for other places to be visited on Friday and Saturday when it is actually closed, at that moment she included the others.

Confirmamos que, devido à realização de um evento, essa parte da visita não pôde ser realizada. Mesmo assim, foram incluídas visitas alternativas de igual valor, na tentativa de atender a todas as expectativas. Lamentamos os transtornos que isso possa ter causado.

Ashma is a super kind and friendly guide who solved all my doubts about Egypt and Arabic culture. You can really feel she is such a good person. I wish you all the best :)

Ho visto solo la Cittadella (da sola) e la biblioteca, nient'altro, nemmeno il pranzo, tanto che la visita, che doveva durare 7 ore, è durata 3 ore. Ho chiesto il rimborso e sto aspettando una risposta.

I only saw the Citadel (on my own) and the library, nothing else, not even lunch, so the visit, which was supposed to last 7 hours, lasted 3 hours. I requested a refund and I'm waiting for a response.

Agencia ofrece estupendo servicio, el guía es muy amable, habla muy bien español, y resuelve cualquier inquietud que pueda surgir, no solo en relación a Alejandría sino en general de la cultura e historia. Muy cumplidos para recoger en el hotel, h ahí mismo dejarnos, sin queja alguna, muy recomendable

El día que tuvimos la excursión nos dejaron tirados. Menos mal que al día siguiente no teníamos nada y nos dieron la opción de realizarla. La excursión comienza más tarde de las 8 ya que salen de el Cairo y sobre las 10 cuando llegan se comienza la excursión.

Hubo un malentendido en el departamento de reservas y no se pudo ofrecer el tour el día elegido, acordándose hacerlo el día siguiente, sentimos mucho las molestias.

La visita por Alejandria es algo escasa para durar todo el día ya que se visita las catacumbas, yacimiento arqueológico, la fortaleza, la biblioteca y el barrio copto. Se echa de menos el poder visitar a pie la ciudad en un pequeño paseo por el barrio más céntrico para entender la vida de sus ciudadanos.

The visit to Alexandria is somewhat too short to fill a whole day, as it only includes the catacombs, the archaeological site, the fortress, the library, and the Coptic quarter. It would have been nice to have the opportunity to explore the city on foot, perhaps with a short stroll through the central district, to get a better understanding of the daily life of its inhabitants.

Our guide, Ayman Ismail, was very kind and explained and illustrated everything we visited. He was very knowledgeable throughout the day and was truly a pleasure to meet.

The "Guided Tour of Alexandria" was very interesting & informative. The air-conditioning tour van came to pick us up outside the Alexandria Port on time. The English speaking tour guide, tour escort & the driver were doing a great job in every expected areas . Highly recommend this EXOTIC TOURS & TRAVEL to every traveler.

Por parte de la empresa organizadora muy mal, nos modifica hora de recogida a las 05:45 de la mañana del dia de la excursion, no dio informacion al guia donde recogernos, ni numeros de contacto hacia nosotros sin gestionar permisos para recogernos en el puerto, siendo nosotros quienes por suerte encontremos el guia pero perdimos mas de una hora de la prevision de la excursion

The organizing company did very badly. They changed our pick-up time to 5:45 in the morning on the day of the excursion. They did not give the guide information on where to pick us up, nor contact numbers for us, without managing permission to pick us up at the port. Luckily, we were the ones who found the guide, but we lost more than an hour of the excursion's planned time.

La salida estaba prevista inicialment a las 08:00. El dia anterior nos comunicaran que se iniciaba a las 10:00. Por la mañana a las 10:30. Al presentar-nos en el punto de encuentro, por cierto fuera del puerto, el vehiculo no estaba. La guia Safa, suerte tuvimos de ella, nos comento que el vehiculo provinente de El Cairo, estaba retenido en la autopista primero por niebla y posterior retencion. Arranca mos, cerca de las 12:00, con un paseo a pie por Alexandria. Esto duro hasta que nos plantamos

The departure was initially scheduled at 08:00. The day before they told us that it would start at 10:00. In the morning at 10:30. When we showed up at the meeting point, outside the port by the way, the vehicle was not there. The guide Safa, lucky us, told us that the vehicle coming from Cairo was held up on the highway first due to fog and then a traffic jam. We started, around 12:00, with a walk through Alexandria. This lasted until we stood up

The activity was scheduled for 8am, the previous afternoon they told us that it will happen at 10am, the next morning via WhatsApp it will be delayed at 10:30am. The departure (on foot) was at 11am, since there was no bus, we walked until 12:20, the time the bus arrived. The planned 7 hours ended in 4 hours (and without food planned). The guide Safa was very good.

El viaje por Alejandría ha estado muy bien. Pero tenemos que calificar muy negativamente, por el guía. Nos ha explicado muy bien durante el recorrido y en ese aspecto, sin ninguna queja. Correcto. Pero si nos ha hecho sentir muy incomodas con sus comentarios misóginos al preguntar sobre sus costumbres.. Eramos 2 mujeres jóvenes solas, en un viaje de 3 horas de ida y 3 horas de vuelta (desde El Cairo a Alejandría) en un coche con 2 hombres que no conocemos. Se agradecería pensar en estas cosas.

Lo sentimos, no toleramos ese tipo de comportamientos. Nuestro proveedor ya tiene tu mensaje y hablará con el guía para tomar las medidas oportunas.

La actividad estuvo bastante completa y bien organizada. Lo único que se nos hizo poco serio fue que, de último momento, la Agencia se comunicó para aumentarnos el costo por recogernos en El Cairo aun y cuando yo, desde que contraté el tour, dejé claro que el hotel estaba en Cairo. Cuando quisimos cancelar ya no nos fue posible pues ya había pasado el plazo para hacerlo sin perder nuestro dinero. Lo peor fue saber que otras personas en el tour no tuvieron que pagar esa diferencia por la recogida

The activity was quite comprehensive and well-organized. The only thing we found unprofessional was that, at the last minute, the agency contacted us to increase the cost of picking us up in Cairo, even though I had clearly stated from the outset that my hotel was in Cairo. When we tried to cancel, it was too late because the cancellation period had already passed. The worst part was learning that other people on the tour didn't have to pay this extra fee for the pickup.
