My family’s tour of Alexandria was one that I would definitely recommend. I liked that the tour allowed me to choose the four tourist attractions that I wanted to go to.
Furthermore, the guide, Dina, was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. In short, she was everything you would want in a guide. She did all that she could to make sure that my family would enjoy the tour, including helping to entertain my 3-month old daughter.
Lastly, our driver offered a clean and comfortable ride to and from Cairo. He made sure to stop as often as my family would like and give us as much time as we needed at each stop.
