Top tour in Hurghada! We were picked up in Safaga and started an exciting journey through Hurghada with our guide, Abdul. From the stunning mosque to the bustling fish and vegetable markets and the stylish marina, every stop was a hit! To wrap things up, we visited some great shopping spots. The tour was informative, well-organized, and truly unforgettable. Thank you, Abdul!

Thank you to Tammam, a highly skilled and pleasant guide who explained Hurghada's history exceptionally well. I enjoyed seeing both sides of the city—the modern, touristy area and the more local, modest side. Visiting the mosque, the church, the marina, and the markets was a wonderful experience. A big thanks as well to Mohamed, an excellent driver. I highly recommend this excursion for French-speaking visitors!

Our guide Karim was absolutely brilliant! He was incredibly friendly and shared so much insightful information about the country and its people. Karim was honest and unfiltered, explaining myths and truths about the country and Islam, and even warned us about common tourist traps. At the market, we got to try fresh fruit and dates and purchase them at great prices. Thank you, Karim—it was a fantastic experience!

The tour was plagued by poor organization from both the driver and the company. The transportation was 35 minutes late right from the start, setting the tone for the day. While our guide was lovely and provided excellent insights into the city's history and culture, the overall experience was disappointing. The trip ended with an unnecessary one-hour stop at a souvenir shop, which felt excessive given that we were already two hours behind schedule. To make matters worse, despite our hotel being just 5 minutes away from the shop, the driver chose to drop off guests living farthest first, delaying everyone else by over 30 minutes. We finally arrived back at the hotel at 4:00 PM, starving and having missed the opportunity for lunch. The tour, originally scheduled to end at 1:00 PM, completely derailed our plans for the last day of our holiday, including a final swim we had been looking forward to. To top it off, the company failed to respond to our complaints on WhatsApp. Overall, this was a frustrating experience and left us deeply disappointed.

The transfer from Safaga to Hurghada was excellent. The tour guide explained everything very well, and we visited many shops and saw a lot of interesting sights. It was top-notch and highly recommended. We were a group of nine, which was completely fine—a cool crew overall. Big compliments to "Mike Tyson," our driver, as well as the tour guide and the driver who picked us up. Great job all around!

The pick-up time was 45 minutes late, which was a bit inconvenient. The driver and tour guide were okay overall. For the city tour, I would have preferred it to include more local markets to experience the daily lifestyle of the people here. Personally, the visit to the church felt unnecessary, and I would have enjoyed seeing more of the authentic way of life in the area.

We were picked up from our hotel by a friendly taxi driver, and our guide, Ali, joined us later in Hurghada. The tour included visits to the harbor, fish market, mosque, and Greek Orthodox church, as well as stops at two bazaars. We gained insights into the local region and learned about the country as a whole. A highlight was tasting local mandarins and flatbread with falafel. In conclusion, it was a beautiful and very interesting short trip, all conducted in German. Highly recommended!

The tour did not match the description, and our guide lacked the expected knowledge. There was no visit to a papyrus factory as advertised. Instead, the tour only included a fish market and a fruit and vegetable market, which fell short of expectations. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Our tour guide, Mr. Ali, speaks excellent German—it’s practically his second native language. My sister and I were the only ones on the tour, which allowed us to customize what we wanted to see. We requested to visit the church, and Ali shared so much about its history and significance. The tour was relaxed and enjoyable. Many thanks, Ali! I hope we meet again.

An amazing trip—it's incredible that this experience is available for just 9 euros! You get driven to various locations, step out to explore, and the guide provides insightful information, lets you sample local food (at his own expense), and takes you to both classic landmarks and hidden gems. The guide was super friendly and clearly very knowledgeable. An outstanding budget-friendly option that I highly recommend!
