Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. She answered all our questions and treated us like family. Our driver was great in this city. Really comfortable ride to all our destinations. My son and I are so glad we booked with her on this tour. Thanks for everything.
What a wonderful guide and driver ! If you want to enjoy every moment and be educated on Egypt with a concentration in Alexandria be sure to book this tour. Our guide knows her history! She was on time and did not rush or cut our time short…….the restaurant and the view were magnificent. After every event, the driver was there to pick us up and he knew how to navigate well throughout the tour.

The minivan was very comfortable. I would recommend this tour.
