Quick tour, felt informative, I'm glad I did it. At least three or four times, the walking directions referred to side streets and main streets. If you're not from Alexandria, it's not obvious which streets are the side ones and which ones are the main ones. (They all seem basically as big/wide as each other.) I found it confusing. It would be nice if the tour guide just referred to the streets by name.
