Great trip. Collected me on time and went straight to the Serapeum. Good info and very friendly
The program is perfect. However, the guide was very average. Very brief English and a lack of enthusiasm
Beautiful excursion with family, knowledgeable and helpful guide. Good driver. We have seen so many things in one morning, even those that faint left out like the Serapeum
