Not satisfied with this tour. Firstly, the driver was late by 45 minutes plus the guide was also tardy. He was in a hurry and missed the Church of St. Mark. I will complain to get refund.

In this tour, right from the beginning, things started going in a different direction. Though it was a private tour, and there were lot of space in the vehicle, the driver denied to take our luggage. After more than an hour was lapsed, finally we were accommodated in the vehicle with our luggage.
The silver lining of this tour was the mighty experienced guide, Mr. Haytham, who accompanied us to Alexandria.
But more better understanding of the route and time management both by driver and by the guide could have made our day even better. Especially, while returning, the driver was lost in Cairo and it took an incremental 45 minutes to reach our hotel at a very prominent location of Cairo city. We, therefore, lost huge time both in morning and evening.
The snacks was included in the tour, which was not known by the guide. And we were handed over a few packets of chips only.
Overall, though the tour was good but it could be more fine tuned with better driver and better time management.
