“City Tour Hurghada and El Gouna - We had two wonderful trips. Everything was well organized and with Osman we had a very warm but also very competent tour guide. As a surprise, there was a birthday cake Osman organized quickly when he found out it was one of our birthdays. We were completely satisfied.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-27
