From the planning to the trip itself, Khaled was professional and business-like. We were collected on time, the car was clean and comfortable, and the driver was calm and professional. Khaled was dressed in a suit, and handled every detail with aplomb. We visited the Catacombs, Pompey's Pillar, the Citadel and the Aquarium. Khaled was knowledgeable about every attraction, and he speaks excellent English, so he was easy to understand. We went for lunch at Branzino which was the perfect ending to a wonderful day. I can heartily recommend Khaled for his professional and personalised service.
