Alexandria Halbtagestour

Guide had to use notes about each stop and the local history of Alexandria. Van was very over crowded. Seats had to be moved every time we stopped.

Notre guide était sympathique mais venait du Caire et donc ne connaissait pas les sites qu’on visitait. Il ne connaissait pas les routes et utilisait Waze pour se diriger. Ses connaissances des sites étaient limitées par quelques brèves notes écrites le soir d’avant probablement suite à des recherches sur Internet. On avait demandé une visite en français et on a été jumelé à un groupe anglophone.

The location of pick up is not immediately at cruise port but a 1/2 mile walk across a bridge into downtown, which was not mentioned in the description. We were asked to arrive for the tour at 8am, but the first location, a museum, didn’t open until 9am. We sat in the car for 20 minutes waiting for the doors to open. It’s also important to note that the provider is not Viator, but in this case Travelconnections. The driver was from Cairo, not Alexandria, and needed to use his phone to navigate the streets, while driving. It was an older car, dirty windshield. I was the last person to arrive (late) due to meeting location uncertainty and was given the middle front seat, which had no leg room. A larger individual could not have made that work. The driver had hand-written notes about the two sites we visited.
