Dear Alki Tours,

The comment space was not large enough for my comments regarding the Egypt “Supervalue” trip in January. What a well orchestrated tour, from the time we all gather at SeaTac, met up with our guide, Tyson, to landing in Egypt, it all ran like clockwork. After our arrival, the tour continued without any glitches, very smoothly run and with the help of the Egyptologist and the Egyptian Tour Guide, we had a most amazing tour of Egypt. I would equate it as one of the best tours ever been on. The group was fun to travel with, no grouches at all, and with Tyson’s great sense of humor and skillful guidance, we all saw and did everything that was pertinent to our tour.

When things broke down on Friday, with the protestors in Aswan, we still were so well cared for and kept safe. Tyson made decision after decision that put our safety first, keeping us calm and informed. I can’t thank Alki Tours enough for this skillful guide and your support. To this day, I don’t know who paid for the food and water that was brought to the airport by our two Egyptian guides, who did this under great direness. I’m assuming Tyson took care of it through Alki Tours, and for that I thank you. Our fortune was to have Tyson and the Egyptian guides with us, caring for and seeing to our needs. It was a very difficult time, but because of them, we made it without falling apart.

Also Alki Tours was very helpful to my family and many friends who were so concerned about my safety and the safety of the group. Your courtesy on the phone was so appreciated knowing how stress out you must have been also. It was so frustrating not to be able to contact family, and you handled that beautifully for us. My plans will be to do further travel with Alki and to recommend you to anyone that is interested in traveling.

My Deepest Thanks,
Janet Slezak
