GetYourGuide traveler November 25, 2018 – Verified booking
A local guide is the best way to make use of your limited time in a foreign city, and Rasha, our guide in Alexandria, was superb. Not only was she very knowledgeable about the history of all the amazing places we visited, her English was faultless. Also, nothing flustered Rasha and nothing was too much trouble for her either. We wanted to slightly alter the itinerary, she obliged, and went out of her way to ensure we had the best possible City Tour experience ... it really was worth every penny!
