Mig was excellent, he knew his history and culture of the area and gave us a real personalised tour. Every where we went we were given amble time to explore and ask any questions. Mig is very friendly, professional and gave us an excellent experience.

Two stars because the sights were interesting and the driver was great. ⭐️ First, the positive: The driver was great – very friendly, spoke good English and took us safely and pleasantly to our destination. Here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unfortunately, our guide Christina was a disappointment. Her explanations of the sights seemed memorized, and she could hardly answer questions outside of her script – also because of a lack of German language skills. When booking a German tour, the guide should at least understand the language. We also had to visit many sights on our own, without sufficient explanations or company. In addition, she was often on the phone or talking to others, so we often had to wait. The low point: During a phone call, she asked us if we wanted fish or vegetarian for lunch. In the restaurant we got two fish instead of one fish and one vegetarian – obviously she didn’t listen to us properly. We were really looking forward to Alexandria, but Christina sadly clouded the experience. Their explanations were superficial, and we would have learned more if we had just read the signs. Conclusion: This tour in German with Christina is an absolute no-go and a waste of money for the price.
