I saw all the cultural experiences Hurghada has to offer with a local guide. Islam was an attentive and kind guide who taught me all about the history, foods and religion of Hurghada and Egypt.

We had a lovely guide Haba, who have us a personal tour of her city, including buying us fruit and advising on restaurants. A good orientation to the city, but not much to see in Hurgarda
Response from Host, Sep 2025

It was nice the tour guide they sent was a lovely person a credit to the company.
It’s hard to hear her on the bus as it’s noisy she would benefit from a Mic 🎤
We had a great time due to her but the fish market was horrible.
She looked after us all and made sure we was safe..
Not much to see but the mosque and church were lovely try to avoid booking it on a Friday as you don’t get to see much of both places of worship.
Do not shop in the souvenir shop at the end they charge more than what they tell you once your at the cash till.

On the tour it was just me and my family, so it felt very personal. Both our driver and our tour guide Heba were very friendly. She knew so much about Hurghada and was happy to answer all our questions on the place and the Egyptian people. We learned a lot from her. I would definitely recommend the tour to see and hear about Hurghada

Let down by calamitous transport. Pick up vehicle was too small meaning the 5 adults, child + buggy+ driver were squashed in guide polite and helpful aound marina, mosque, church, fish & food markets. But when we asked to miss the 1 hour shopping chaos followed. The hour saved was used up stuck in traffic or trying to arrange journeys back. Wouldn’t recommend.

For this excursion the company went above and beyond, I have limited mobility and the company sent a private car with driver and your guide for myself and my husband instead of us getting the original bus as there was too much walking involved in original tour.
Our driver, Hanni and our tour guide, Elam where so helpful and knowledgeable.
It was interesting seeing the different parts of Hurghada especially the Church and Mosque.

Our tour guide picked us up at the cruise port in Safaga for an extra charge that was mention at the last minute but that was the only down fall of the tour. Everything else was good. Hurghada is a small town but our kind tour guide took us to the most important place to see, he also showed us part of the life of the locals by taking us to the market. The best part of the tour was the kindness of our guide.

A friendly, knowledgeable driver / guide who was punctual and adapted the tour to suit us and the other couple who were also on the tour. He was punctual and his explanations were clear. We learned a lot about the sights visited and also got an insight into Egyptian daily life and cost of living. The contrast between the old and new towns and the Marina was interesting to see.

Sayid and his driver were wonderful. He gave us lots of interesting infos about Egypt and Egyptian culture and we stopped at a great overlook/panoramic spot, the marina, the mosque, the fish market, the Church, the fruit and vegetable market (including the best falafel and hand-fried potatoe chips ever) and -as we requested- we stopped for shopping. Our 6 year old also had a good time and we would definitely go on another adventure with Sayid the next time we are in Hurghada. Very enjoyable and we recommend taking this tour if you haven‘t seen much outside your resort or hotel.
