Very pleasant evening tour with a great guide.
Very pleasant evening tour with a very knowledgeable guide, Cooter.
Cooter was clearly very passionate about history and very proud of his country and their achievements over millennia. In addition to the main tour locations we also went to the, obligatory, herb/perfume shop and a lovely coffee house.
Would certainly recommend this tour.

Late driver and didn't stick with itinerary
I booked this trip which states female guide on Viator and was scheduled to be picked up at 11am. The driver was over 35 mins late in an old and dirty van. I was then met with a male guide. The guide's itinerary was not the same as the itinerary described on Viator. We went into the cathedral which was good. We did go to an additional mosque but couldn't get into that or into the mosque by the old bazaar due to praying times. The tour guide didn't say much about both mosques due to his faith. I asked more questions but didn't really get answers.
The guide was happy to take me shopping in different shops at the old bazaar but I didn't want to buy anything. He was just waiting for 2pm for the tour to end at the old bazaar. He and I got into another car and he said the driver willdrive me back to the hotel. I said the itinerary included going to Naama Bay and he said we ran out of time. I told him and he knew that the tour started 35 mins late, so it didn't make sense for my 3 hours' tour to end 35 mins early. He negotiated with the driver and they dropped me off at Naama Bay for half an hour, picked me up then dropped me back at the hotel.
All in all, it was a disappointing experience. The tour company sent me messages asking for my feedback afterwards and I told them what happened. They asked what they could offer to improve my experience but holiday time is precious and I don't think they could do anything to make it right so I left it.

Mohammed è un padrone di casa educato e preparato
Il rapporto qualità prezzo formidabile. Un minitour che ti mostra la parte storica e culturale e la parte moderna e commerciale. Mohammed è sprecato per una guida .... è un ragazzo eccezionale, colto e molto educato. Ha conquistato persino mia figlia di 3 anni pazza di lui, salutatosi con un abbraccio da "via col Vento".
Puntuale e ben organizzato prelievo e ritorno con una guida nella cultura musulmana con la visita alla moschea e nella cultura cristiana ortodosso con l'opera d'arte della moderna chiesa cristiana che all'interno racconta 2000 anni di storia . Conclusione nel suk davanti alla moschea a Sharm vecchia...

Bring back Mo, this guy should not be a guide
We booked this tour as we'd seen the wonderful reviews - Mo seems to be the usual guide, highly praised for his local knowledge and kindness to those he shows around. So we were really disappointed to get a totally lacklustre experience with a guide (Kuta?) who could not have been more different. He just spouted out a load of garbled facts in what sounded like a memorised script, which was virtually unintelligible and delivered with no enthusiasm whatsoever. Nearly the whole way round he was on his phone, taking and receiving calls as if we were interfering with the running of his other business - he said he does airport transfers, etc.
He dragged us round the set route (except he didn't want to go to Naama Bay, which we enquired about as it was on the itinerary and sounded interesting, so begrudgingly whizzed past it). The tour was padded out by a stop at a few tired looking shops full of tourist tat and a cafe - during which time he just sat on his phone - and then back home. So it only took two hours, not the three in the description, but quite honestly we were glad to get back to the hotel by then. I don't like to moan, and rarely give bad reviews, but I'm afraid this experience merits two stars at best. There is really no culture or history to see except a mosque and a church, both of which are less than 10 years old). So it would have been one star and deemed a total rip-off if it had cost more than the £12 we paid

Great city tour
Mo Salah was very knowledgable and extremely helpful. It was well timed; nowhere was rushed nor felt like it was too long. Really good value for money! Very impressed.

Amazing resort,not so good airport
Sharm el sheikh is amazing, and the people are so friendly and amiable. We stayed at tui blue sensatori coral Bay and what a hotel that was. Our view from the terrace overlooked beach. Staff were very attentive even on the beach serving drinks and lollies.
There are 6 restaurants all of which serve amazing food.
We would definitely go back to hotel, but the down side was at the airport where once baggage checked in,you had to go through at least 4 checkpoints and be searched. We literally had 10 minutes in duty free and then had to go to gate which was horrendous. The queues were awful and it was a room with 7,8,9,and 10 gates. Needless to say the flight was delayed by 45 minutes.

Fabulous few hours with Kota
This was a wonderful few hours, not tiring by being too long, as are some day trips. We visited the magnificent Catholic church, mosque and stopping at a place overlooking the marina/tourist area for photos and we finished off at the market for coffee (Rayahen roastery). A very diverse cafe selling delicious ice-cream and staples. I had my own bus and private tour with Kota, driver/guide who was fabulous. Highly recommend this outing.

5 stelle solo perché non possiamo darne di più
Esperienza bellissima!
Kota, la nostra guida, è stato gentilissimo, simpatico e molto esaustivo.
Ci ha fornito tantissime informazioni, ci ha portati a fare shopping e ci ha offerto un succo di frutta locale ed un caffè.
Per questo prezzo… non sappiamo che altro dire se non che è una esperienza consigliatissima!
