We did two excursions: October 22nd was super Cairo, October 24th was fishing and snorkeling. Top-level organization for both — it only takes a couple of minutes to book, they respond fast, you pay right at the excursion site, super convenient, and they picked us up from the hotel on time. The guides are very attentive to tourists, especially in Cairo, giving tips on where and how best to take photos, and telling us all about ancient Egypt with real enthusiasm. We were thrilled with the fishing trip too — they don't just hand you the gear, they actively help and give tips so you actually catch something. We stopped for snorkeling and saw a wonderful stingray. Best of all, nobody rushes anybody, they give you time for photos. We were very happy.
I want to share my impressions of today's 5-in-1 sea excursion. Top marks for the excursion. My child was thrilled. We saw dolphins 🐬. There was diving, we swam in the open sea. Our guide Roman is just fire. Fun and interesting. We also rode the banana boat. Anyone who wanted could get a massage. I'm so glad I got to spend my birthday with you and the sea. Thank you and thank you Roman.
