In late March a group of friends will meet in Alexandria at the Monaco for a weekend gettogether. We would like to arrange a limo to tour the monuments during the evening. Can anyone recommend a reliable company?

anyone?

Do you mean a stretch limo or a car service? How many people? Do you want the company that provides the car to also provide a tour guide or is this a drive, stop and wait type situation?

I am looking for a limo which would comfortably seat ten people. Drive, stop and wait is fine. We don't need a guide. Do you have a recommendation?

I researched a car service for a large party for my boss a few months ago (he didn't end up using it). It was not a stretch limo is that is what you mean by limo and I can't imagine it would be easy for everyone to see out of a car like that if the intention is to look out the window.

One of the companies I called is Sunny's Worldwide and the rate they quoted me for a van was $256 up to 3 hours (additional hours $86/hour). They said they have 10 passenger Mercedes or Vanteras (made by Ford; looks like mini-bus; seats up to 13). I don't have a record of whether that included tax and tip.

I have arranged for that company on other occasions (regular car service) and the firm where I work has an account with them. They are a national company. There are probably cheaper options.

Other companies I've seen recommended (on TripAdvisor) are Kasper's Livery and Strusser's. I've used neither through work.

Thank you. I think the Vantera might be the best fit (no final headcount on attendance) and the price is certainly manageable. I appreciate the information.
