    We booked the Private Scuba Diving in Sharm El Sheikh: Explore the Red Sea in VIP Style and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Egypt. The sites themselves were even more impressive than the photos suggest. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. Well organised from start to finish.

    Rezervovali jsme tento výlet a byl to vrchol našeho pobytu v Egyptě. Krajina i chrámy působí ještě silněji než na fotkách. Za tuto cenu je to skvělá hodnota. Den, o kterém budeme dlouho vyprávět.

  • Alice RushtonMay 25, 2026

    We compared a few operators before choosing the Private Scuba Diving in Sharm El Sheikh: Explore the Red Sea in VIP Style and have no regrets at all. The vehicle was clean, air conditioned and comfortable even on the longer stretches. Our guide spoke excellent English and explained the history without overloading us. Highly recommended, especially if your time in Egypt is short.

    The Private Scuba Diving in Sharm El Sheikh: Explore the Red Sea in VIP Style was easy to book and even better in person than it looked online. The vehicle was clean, air conditioned and comfortable even on the longer stretches. Pick-up was on time to the minute and the driver was careful and calm in traffic. Well organised from start to finish.

    Fiz esta excursão com a minha mulher e ficámos ambos muito satisfeitos com a escolha. A recolha foi pontual e o motorista conduziu com calma e segurança. Pelo que pagámos, a relação qualidade-preço é excelente. Voltaria a reservar sem hesitar.

  • Emma RushtonApril 13, 2026

    I travelled solo on the Private Scuba Diving in Sharm El Sheikh: Explore the Red Sea in VIP Style and never once felt out of place or rushed. Our guide spoke excellent English and explained the history without overloading us. The sites themselves were even more impressive than the photos suggest. I would book it again without hesitating.

    Nous avons réservé cette excursion et ce fut le point fort de notre séjour en Égypte. La prise en charge s'est faite à l'heure pile et le chauffeur était prudent et posé. Les paysages et les temples sont encore plus impressionnants qu'en photo. Si vous hésitez encore, réservez.

  • Rutger GrotenhuisFebruary 8, 2026

    Deze excursie was eenvoudig te boeken en in het echt nog beter dan de beschrijving. Voor deze prijs is de kwaliteit uitstekend. Onze gids sprak uitstekend Engels en legde de geschiedenis helder uit. Van begin tot eind goed georganiseerd.

  • Céline HébertJanuary 6, 2026

    J'ai voyagé seule pendant cette excursion et je ne me suis jamais sentie de trop. Le déjeuner était copieux, préparé sur le moment, et nos demandes ont été prises en compte sans problème. La prise en charge s'est faite à l'heure pile et le chauffeur était prudent et posé. Bien organisé du début à la fin.

  • Sergio SalazarNovember 26, 2025

    Reservamos esta excursión y fue lo mejor de nuestro viaje a Egipto. Los paisajes y los templos impresionan aún más que en las fotos. Los horarios estaban pensados para llegar a los monumentos antes que los grupos. Muy recomendable, sobre todo si tienes pocos días en Egipto.
