What people are saying about Port Said

We had a really good time with Dina and our driver. We had enough time to explore thd different sites. Dina was amazing with all her knowledge and our driver so patient. We opted to have lunch included and it was delicious. They offer shopping as well but we declined it and made use of the time to explore the sites.

The tour was great. It took approximately 6-7 hours. We totally loved spending time with Amal she was such an awesome guide. We felt safe (as people approach to you quite often) She is super kind and very helpful. Also she takes PERFECT pictures. 10/10 recommend to see the important places.

Our guide was very kind, he explained everything to us in detail, took many photos and advised us on what was best to do. He took us to a very nice place and eventually to the Museum. We were going a little fast there (I don't know why) but we saw the most important things.

We had a wonderful experience. The driver was very kind and patient and our guide Dina was amazing. Highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable and engaging. Even the kids were enjoyed it all throughout the whole tour.

A very kind Maha guide who explains everything in detail, I would recommend her.
