Thourughly enjoyed my day. My guide, Mohsen, was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Took the time to make sure everything was explained properly and I didn’t feel rushed once. The driver, Talaat, also friendly and helpful. Was my first time doing a solo tour and would definitely recommend it.

My guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered my questions thoroughly. He went out of his way to give me the best experience possible and took very nice pictures! The driver was very helpful and drove well. I would have appreciated more description of areas we drove through on our way to the highlighted sites and more interaction with us while we were in the vehicle. However, the sites we visited were spectacular and the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend it.
