5.00As a solo female traveler I was very cautious to book any local tours. The operator was extremely proactive and professional to answer any concerns or questions I had. They were quickly resolved and paired me with a group as the city would be more lively in the evening. Our tour guide was Ahmed and he speaks perfect English. He had a great energy and was passionate to share a lot of local knowledge with us - not only about Hurghada but lots of cultural insight too. We went through the marina, fish market, mosque, old town and a few shops. He also helped me buy street food to try. We were not rushed or felt pressured ant any point, and got to visit really local spots that without him it was impossible to navigate. Although the traffic was a little crazy, I felt extremely safe and secure with Ahmed always guiding. He was also great helping to take pictures. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a guide. Highly recommend!

5.00Zizo was a great guide. Quickly we were comfortable and they put us in a cheerful mood. It takes you to the real neighborhoods of Hurghada away from the crowds and mass tourism. It explains but also answers all our questions. Don't look elsewhere, book with him

5.00Hurghada is a new town and there is really not that much to see, but the tour ran smoothly snd was quite interesting. Our guide Ahmed and our driver did a good job explaining the sights and getting us around. We especially enjoyed getting their perspective on life and religion in Egypt. Well done.
