We have just returned from the Viking Buri - Portraits of Southern France. We did not have any trouble with water levels, except the Captain did run aground once. He said the sand had shifted.

Well, I got mine! Taking no chances! I got the typhoid and the Hep A, plus I had the flu and the DTAP. Today, I got the pneumonia and next week I'm getting the shingles! LOL! I am covering all bases!

Seriously, it is important to check with your healthcare professional and get his/her opinion. I happen to live with my healthcare professional, so I did as I was told!

We did two single day tours with Ramses, one to Gisa and Cairo from Port Said and the second in Alexandria. Both guides were excellent, spoke good English and took good care of us. The Alexandria guide, Mohamed, was outstanding. We'd been on a 12 day tour of Egypt last year, so we wanted something a little different and Ramses accommodated us by taking us off the usual track.

 

The Gisa/Cairo tour was long since the ride from Port Said is about 100 miles each way.

 

The Alexandria tour was spectacular. We saw all the usual things, but the highlight was actually going inside of the new Alexandria Library. Most tours only drive by it, but inside it is spectacular and the exhibits are worthwhile. This is the largest library in the world and the main space is incredibly large and beautiful. Another highlight was lunch. We all ate Sea Bass. It was the best fish dish I have ever had in my life.

 

The cost of the tours was $95 each (x3 people) for Gisa/Cairo paid in US dollars cash plus tips for the driver and guide. The Alexandria tour was about 5 hours, and was $65 each plus tips. In both cases we had a mini-van to ourselves.

Could you tell us a little bit about when you took this tour. Thank you for your information. Why did you choose Ramses? We have had quotes from several agencies, including Ramses, but am leaning towards memphistours right now.

We are considering Ramses tours as well for an overnite Sep 9-10. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
