Tim led a tour for me and my boyfriend, it was just the two of us (during the heatwave) and Tim still took his time to show us around Alexandria and make the tour special. Each stop was interesting and Tim had great stories to tell; we walked away having learned some new things - even as history lovers! Tim was an excellent guide and even gave us some tips on other things to do while we were in Alexandria.
