Poorly Organised
It took until after midnight the day before to get a pick up time. The bus was full but a party had spread out and were shouting to have a conversation from the back to the front of the bus. They should have been told others would be joining. They spent 45 minutes at unschefuled shop stop. This was remote so you had no option but to wait. The time at the old market was then limited. They sent a message asking for a reviw at 12.30 am.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand your frustration regarding the late pickup confirmation, the atmosphere on the bus, and the unscheduled shopping stop that affected your time at the Old Market. Your comments are very important to us, and we will share them with our operations team to improve the organization and overall guest experience on this tour. We also apologize for the late review request message, as we understand this may have been inconvenient. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope we may have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Not with this guide
Sharm El Sheikh is ok, it can turn out into a pleasant experience in itself. My guide Abanob tho' was not very professional, he would spend most of the time on his phone and yawning, or talking arabic with the driver and a third man they picked up all of a sudden on the way. The experience is written to last approximately 3 hours, but the guide was trying at all costs to cut it to 1 hour short. I had to insist to spend longer time in the sites. Furthermore, when I mentioned that a stroll in Naama Bay was included in the experience (see screenshot) he insisted that it was not and after he called the company he agreed to pass through it by car only, which was totally useless. He even made a video to prove to the company that he took me there getting me into the frame, which I asked him not to. He said he didn't film me but when I asked to check the video I was actually in it and I made him delete it. He said that the main coptic church with the many icons was closed for some maintenance that day, which I want to believe was true (doubt is there). He kind of ruined the experience. When I told him that I would write in the comment that he wouldn't bring me to Naama Bay he said I could do it, so here I am. He also suggested to ask for a refund for the missing of Naama Bay. I cannot recommend this trip, at least not with this guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience in Sharm El Sheikh did not meet your expectations. We truly regret the issues you mentioned regarding communication, timing, and the handling of the itinerary, as this is not the level of professionalism we aim to provide. We take your comments very seriously and will investigate this case with the guide and operations team to understand what happened and ensure it is addressed properly. Respect for the itinerary, clear communication, and guest privacy are all important standards for us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’re glad you still found Sharm El Sheikh enjoyable overall, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Sharm El-Sheikh City Tour : Mosque,Cathedral,Cafe & Optional Meal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Sharm El-Sheikh City Tour : Mosque,Cathedral,Cafe & Optional Meal cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Sharm El-Sheikh City Tour : Mosque,Cathedral,Cafe & Optional Meal 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 Sharm El-Sheikh City Tour : Mosque,Cathedral,Cafe & Optional Meal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 31 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 Sharm El-Sheikh City Tour : Mosque,Cathedral,Cafe & Optional Meal?
+
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 Sharm El-Sheikh City Tour : Mosque,Cathedral,Cafe & Optional Meal 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 Sharm El-Sheikh City Tour : Mosque,Cathedral,Cafe & Optional Meal?
+
Around 11 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 Sharm El-Sheikh City Tour : Mosque,Cathedral,Cafe & Optional Meal 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: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Top Sights, ATV Quad Bike & Camel Ride, Echo Mountain – Sharm El Sheikh, Sharm : Cairo Excursion by Flight, Pyramid GEM or Ancient Museum. 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.
