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. :-)
