Dear MT representative,
Having recently returned from your company's Treasure of Egypt tour, I'm happy to report that I had a wonderful time. I don't think I've ever had such an enjoyable and educational vacation. I was particular impressed with how much I learned about history of Egypt, as well as what the country is like today.
All of the guides and other MT employees assisting me during my travels were courteous. Helpful, and very knowledgeable about the fascinating historical sites that I visited. Please extent my thanks especially to Mr. Mokhta Said, who guided me around the Valley of the Kings. That was the highlight of my trip.
I'm going to share my experiences with friends and family, and I will definitely suggest that they travel with MT the next time they take a vacation.
Thank you again,
Leila Dorn
