To say you have visited Sharm, you must join this city tour!!!

Our city tour was perfect. We visited the must-see places of the city. Al Mustafa, Al Sahaba Mosque, The Heavenly Cathedral, Farsha Cafe and Old Egypt. Our guide was Mo Salah. He gives all information about historical places. If you come to Sharm, want to get to know the city and want to take beautiful photos, you should definitely join this trip with Mo Salah. I would recommend it to everyone.

Great host but badly organised

Mo was a lovely host, however we could not enter the Mosque (due to Ramadan) and there was no visit to Naama Bay. Despite Mo doing his best, we simply didn't get what we paid for, so this isn't a trip I could recommend. After sales service from Viator was terrible.
