Our guide was great! He was very knowledgeable with a good demeanor. Our day started out a bit rough as I accidentally left my purse in what I thought was our private car, but didn't realize it until we were pretty much in Alexandria. Our guide helped speak with my hotel and security. He also reassured me that it would be returned, and it was later that evening. The catacombs portion was really great and the Citadel were nice. I would change the lunch option, as it was a fish restaurant, but not a good one. We were the only people in what looked like a run down Hard Rock Cafe. Very much what t
