I enjoyed an 8-day tour of Syria with Mary this year. Syria is wonderful, and I plan to return. Mary is a top-notch guide, understanding guests’ preferences. Her genuine warmth, kindness, and shared experiences make her the perfect guide. Perfect English, extensive knowledge.
Lucky to tour with Rami and Bashar—wonderful guys! Bright, knowledgeable, funny, and pleasant. They know their country, can solve any problem. Impressed, I even started learning Arabic at home. 😀 With these guys, you’re in the best hands.
