Great guide/driver
We had a really great time on this tour. Our guide/driver Mahmoud was really lovely and friendly. The great thing about this tour is you can go at your own pace. The only negative was the driver was 50minutes late for pick up and there was a general lack of communication from the tour company. He was super apologetic though and did make up for it by giving us a great tour. So I would recommend this tour but don't plan anything after just in case there is a delay.

Nice calm and interesting trip
Mahmoud was very helpful and collected us on time. We did not feel rushed at all during the trp He helped us in the market which made things easier. It was a shame we couldn't go inside one of the mosques and it would have been good to know this beforehand. But a very pleasant trip and worth the money

non-responsive
tour guy never answered and showed up after half of the day. The car smelled like smoking for days without air circulation.

Not worth the money
The guide was disinterested and didn't have answers to most of my questions. I contacted the company before the tour to make sure all the places we would visit would be open - as it was Easter weekend. They said yes. The one place I specifically wanted to go was not open (the cathedral). My "guide" drove to the carpark there and dumped me. He said - just go inside and get a guide in there". (Note: this was a private tour US$40.) There was no guide and it wasn't open. When I asked a person near the gate, I was told to come back tomorrow.!! The Secret Spot (for photos) above the town was a Joke. This was possibly the worst tour I have ever done.

All of them perfect
The best of the tour agent. I really appreciate from Ashraf. He is so good, he helped us. We saw all good places in city. Thank you very much for accompanying us. Thank you stepway.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! 😊 We're so happy to hear that Ashraf made your experience special and that you enjoyed exploring the city with us. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you again for more great adventures! 🌟🚗✨

Guided City Tour, Shopping & more places in Sharm El Sheikh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Guided City Tour, Shopping & more places in Sharm El Sheikh cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided City Tour, Shopping & more places in Sharm El Sheikh take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Guided City Tour, Shopping & more places in Sharm El Sheikh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided City Tour, Shopping & more places in Sharm El Sheikh?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided City Tour, Shopping & more places in Sharm El Sheikh suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided City Tour, Shopping & more places in Sharm El Sheikh?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided City Tour, Shopping & more places in Sharm El Sheikh start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
