Great Tour, knowledgable tour guide!
We were a party of 2 friends and visited Alexandria with our tour guide Manar Nabil and his driver Tamer. The tour was awesome and both were very welcoming and easy going. Manar gave us a wrap up of Egypt history before getting to Alexandria. We stopped at a convenience store in the highway to get some munchies and use the bathroom, while on the way the tour guide gave us bottled water and some cookies to enjoy while on the van. We got to the Catacombs and the driver welcome us to the van with falafel for each of us. We visited the Citadel and Pompey’s pillar, stopped at the Library, at a local restaurant to have lunch next to the Mediterranean with a beautiful sight. Last they took us to the place were the Alexandria Lighthouse use to be to take some photos. The tour guide gave us moments of privacy and offered to take photos of us while visiting the sites. Very professional tour guide and driver, 100% recommended!
