Testimonials

Annie was fantastic. Her lectures were very interesting, couldn't ask for more there. In addition, she's a kind, fun, neat person and real pleasure to have along on the trip. Annie always encouraged questions and was able to talk informally (besides the lectures) during all the expeditions to sites. It was so great to have her as our guide. I recommend you use her as often as possible on future Egypt trips.
