Sharm el Sheikh Tour

We enjoyed an almost private experience (we two , the driver or our very nice guide Nadia), they were constantly watching us, Nadia “adapted” her excellent English to mine. We went to visit Muhamed Mosque, Celestisl Cathedral, a super shop for top quality Egyptian goods, then we went to the old market area. We had a great time, we recommend it. Thank you very much

New city not much to see.

The tour guide was nice. The tour was ok. We saw a church, a mosque, went to an indoor market, went to an outdoor market. That's it...... All beautiful. Felt safe, the car that picked us up and dropped us off was brand new, very clean. In general it was nice but nothing exciting. I would do it alone, better to have a guide.

Worth it!

I had such a great time! Rania was my guide and she was fantastic. She made me feel comfortable. She shared a lot of information about the sites we visited. I wanted to eat koshary and she was kind enough to add it to our itinerary. Honestly from start to finish everything was great. Got to learn, buy souvenirs, take pictures, and enjoy an amazing day with a wonderful person. Thanks again!

Low cost local insight for all ages

A bargain price for an interesting introduction to Sharm; made all the more enjoyable with only four people on the trip in a private car. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable on the locality. The trip included a visit to tourist shops where you can be sure commission was earned but no excessive sales pressure. A simple , inexpensive tour suitable for all ages.

A fleeting idea of the city of Sharm

Nice opportunity to get a glimpse of the city of Sharm. A flaw is the little time available to do everything and calmly see the details of churches and mosques
