The guide is very knowledgeable and he speaks a good English, we had a comprehensive tour of Alexandria!
The pickup time from the hotel lobby was sharp on the hour, the car very comfortable and the lunch probably the best one I've had in Egypt so far in a very nice fish restaurant... Highly recommended!
