HE SHOWED US HIDDEN CORNERS AND UNIQUE PLACES, TELLING US INTERESTING STORIES AND ANECDOTES. HIS PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM WERE CONTAGIOUS AND MADE OUR VISIT EVEN MORE SPECIAL. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS GUIDE AND ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DISCOVER THE MOST INTERESTING CORNERS OF SHARM

Very good trip. Guide Mo...
Very good trip. Guide Mo is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his local area. Excellent visit to The Coptic Church which is beautiful, the two mosques and Old Market. Thanks also to our driver, Ahmed who picked us up at our hotel and dropped us back safely. Ice cream, water and a gift also added to the experience. Recommended for a short tour of the region.

Visite privée de la ville Sharm El Sheikh
2 petites heures de visite, nous ne souhaitions pas rester 1h30 dans la vieille ville car nous y étions allées la veille. Au début du tour le guide nous a assuré que cela ne posait aucun problème, et que nous irions sur un autre site.Conclusion au bout de 2h à peine, il a laissé un taxi nous ramener à l'hôtel seules. Prestation très décevante, aucun retour à mon message laissé sur whatsapp au prestataire !

Eccellente
Bellissima esperienza, momo è stato fantastico, ci ha portato nel punto più panoramico della città e nei vari bazar ad acquistare erbe spezie e souvenir. Infine ci ha omaggiato di due tavolette di cioccolata. Consiglio vivamente questa esperienza ricca di spiegazioni

Ask for Zee.
We decided after reading reviews to book a private tour around Sharm. Our guide Zee was very knowledgeable, friendly and spoke perfect English. He told us all about the history of Sharm and the Egyptian culture.
