Great guide, great visit

Eissa was a perfect guide! Friendly, prepared, extremely kind! We visited the most significant places in Sharm and, during the car rides, he explained many things in Italian. When we get back to Sharm, we'll ask for his help again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Best money we spent in Egypt

Let me start by saying that this exact same trip by another company on ‘Getyourguide’ is £19pp and holiday company at the hotel are selling it for £25pp. Sharm Tours are selling this trip via TripAdvisor for £7pp so for us as a family of 7 was £49 total. An absolute bargain price. When visiting other countries, we always try and give the kids some education on cultural differences so this trip to the Old Sharm Market, The mosque & The Heavenly cathedral was a must. Eissa, our tour guide was an absolute wealth of knowledge, spoke fantastic English and was incredibly informative throughout, we learnt things that we never would have if we went alone. He arrived to collect us on time, stayed with us so we felt safe the whole time and even took us to a lovely viewpoint that was a little added extra. Initially our teenagers didn’t seem overly enthusiastic that we were going to visit a mosque & a cathedral but all 4 of them said it was amazing and remained engaged throughout. Please, if you do one thing in Egypt, do this. The Heavenly Cathedral was breathtakingly beautiful, I’ve never seen a building so highly decorated in all my life and was in utter awe of how intricate some of the paintings were. 5 🌟 trip.

First class experience

Just excellent. Eissa was brilliant and super knowledgeable with a great approach to all ages in our party. He took us to numerous places of interest and some local shops where we avoided the hard sell. For the cost it is well worth doing.
