It couldn’t have been any better - Alexandria is already an incredible city, but spending the day touring it with our guide
Wessam made our trip so much more memorable. It felt like we were touring with a family friend rather than a paid guide. She was funny and engaging, and knew so much about the historical sites we visited. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and safe and made sure we were having fun. Definitely the best tour guide I ever had. Also, the company was also incredibly professional and kind when it came to scheduling our trip, which was much appreciated. I recommend this trip for families or anyone who wants a flexible and amazing tour of Alexandria!
