The guide, Mometo, is truly exceptional—a cultured individual with great passion for his work. I thoroughly enjoyed his detailed explanations of the local cultures, the differences between religions, and the history of the monuments we visited. The Catholic-Orthodox church is one of the most beautiful in the world and undoubtedly the most stunning we’ve ever seen. With Mometo, you not only find a guide but also a friend and a point of reference for your entire vacation in Sharm. I highly recommend this tour at the beginning of your trip to ensure you don’t miss important information about the area and the region. Thank you, Mometo—you’re number 1!

I visited the mosque, then the church, and later explored the city center. It was truly beautiful walking through the center at night. I’m grateful to Mr. Momento and the driver for sharing the city’s history and guiding me through the sights. I really enjoyed my time—thank you both! ????

The tour itself was good, and we visited some very beautiful places. However, the communication with the trip provider was extremely poor, falling well below expectations. They never contacted me to confirm the pick-up time, and I had to send three messages, only to be ignored. They finally responded 20 minutes before the driver was set to arrive, but only after I expressed my disappointment with their unprofessional service. This was our third trip with them, and unfortunately, the communication has always been lacking.

During my recent visit to Sharm El-Sheikh, I had the privilege of taking a tour of the city and the Old Market, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Mometo, was exceptional in every way. From the start, he was warm, friendly, and professional, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere for everyone in the group. His knowledge of the history, culture, and local curiosities was impressive, and he presented the information in a way that was engaging and never dull. The city tour was fascinating, taking us to iconic landmarks and hidden gems that only someone as knowledgeable as Mometo could have shown us. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sharm El-Sheikh, and make sure to ask for Mometo as your guide—it truly makes all the difference! It’s an experience I will always hold close to my heart. ????

Excellent tour with an outstanding guide, Mohamed! A must-do if you're visiting Sharm El-Sheikh. It would be great if an additional stop at Naama Bay could be added for some free time to explore, but otherwise, the tour was well worth it. Highly recommended! ????

A great trip with a wonderful and personable guide! We visited a mosque and a church, both of which had stunning architecture. We also stopped by Mr. Herb and enjoyed some light refreshments—both were nice added bonuses. I would definitely recommend this trip to tourists visiting Sharm El-Sheikh. One suggestion would be to offer two price points: one for the standard 3-hour trip, and another for those who would like a more extended shopping experience. Those interested could enjoy a longer shopping session (a few hours) and be charged an extra fee for a later pick-up. ????
