We just wanted to let you know we made it back home after our weeklong
detour through Italy. Athens was fantastic. The tours were very good,
and short of heading out to the islands, I can't think of a single thing
we would have rather done while there.
Although we had an excellent time in Athens, Egypt was by far the highlight
of our entire trip, including Italy. We just can't say enough
about Ahmed, Isis, Ashraf, and all our drivers. We simply could not have
done the trip without their help. Ahmed was very professional, courteous,
and helpful, and always went out of his way to make sure we were where
we needed to be at the right time. Our Egyptologist guides, Isis and Ashraf,
were both very knowledgeable and made our visit so much better with their
endless supply of information. We wore out both days long before they
did. We will definitely try to come back to Egypt when we have more time
to spend.
Thank you so much for arranging the trip, allowing us to customize what
we needed to, and putting us in touch with such good people. And please
find attached pictures of us enjoying a camel ride. :-)
