Private Tour with Azza

I got a private tour with Azza, and she showed me an amazing time around Sharm El Sheikh, visiting beautiful mosques and cathedral. As well showing me around old market, where she helped me find everything I needed and loved. I will definitely Azza as a guide to anyone even my family when they plan to visit.

Great tour of Sharm

Aza was amazing. She was able to give huge amounts of information about the city. This made it a very interesting tour. We did a morning tour so although everything was closed, we still had lots and lots of information provided to us if I was doing this tour again I would definitely do an evening tour or late afternoon and I would definitely ask for aza again as she made it a perfect family tour. I would definitely recommend that anybody who wanted to do the tour do it through her.
