Amazing tour with professional guide . the tour was well organized , from the time we meet our guide till the end all our questions has been answered . the boat wes fun and the food was very delicious that for this perfect tour
Preferred timing request was accepted, but late pick-up and transfer to guide, being asked to 'wait here', and a back-to back-booking for the guide, introduced some sense of urgency towards the end reducing the overall booking by appr. 45 minutes, but the key items of the tour were ticked off. Overall the guiding was to the point and met expectations on this private family tour. Always interesting to get some inside guiding in new cities. Recommendable as a first introduction to the area.
This was one of the best decisions we made on our trip. The tour itself was great, well planned chronologically; but the best part was our guide, Hamza. He was knowledgeable, funny and charming; and kept the entire group engaged throughout, sharing interesting facts and engaging in banter. I booked this tour for myself and my parents. This involves a fair deal of walking, so good exercise too. He also shared tips on shopping in the local market and on how to avoid being scammed.
It all worked out great. We were picked up on time at the hotel. The tour was very informative and our tour guide was great.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your kind feedback about our tour. We truly appreciate your words and are very happy to know you had a great experience with us. It was our pleasure to host you!
