Many people are afraid to travel with locals.
There are a lot of them.
Here are a couple of verified sites, prices;
http://www.allsharm.com/ex.html
http://www.brotherssafari.ru/
All interesting, depending on what you like - history or entertainment, or the life of Egypt
аватар nadin65
Both of these agencies are not far from your hotel - Aqua Blu Sharm 5*
аватар nadin65
And these are prices for comparison;
TezTour Cairo 1 day - $75, local agency - $55
Tez MOTO SAFARI $ 25 (1 person), $ 40 (2 people), local $ 20 one person on a quad bike (singl) ; $30 two people

You can go to any, for me personally, the most interesting: SuperLuxor - standard program + banana island, super safari or just quad bikes, and from sea Utopia, if your tour operator has it, then Sharm El Naga is simply amazing! but at the expense of whom to take, think at your own peril and risk. I prefer a tour operator, because checked and more guarantees, and the difference is not so big

We went with the Sinai-travel agency (www.sinai-travel.ru). We contacted Tatyana the manager in advance, we took all the excursions from her. I don’t advise you with a tour operator: it’s twice as expensive, and you will travel in the same bus (as a rule). Do not fall for the horror stories of the hotel guide, there are many agencies in Sharm that have been tested over the years.

I want to say that after all, with your own tour operator, maybe a little more expensive, but much safer !!! They RESPOND FOR YOU! And almost all the information "From the street is better" is the wiring of local agents and it happens that NO ONE WILL RESPOND FOR YOU on the road except for the tour operator. You can make claims against him! And try to make claims against street vendors ... I foresee how the hidden travel agents from Egypt will howl now! They take away a piece of bread! Yes, and you yourself notice how Tatyana and many others advertise themselves under several nicknames on excursions. Be smarter and more responsible!

Absolutely agree with karl12. If something happens to you, a street agency can say with a calm mind, they didn’t know, they didn’t see it. I NEVER traveled on the same bus with street agencies on excursions, there was always a bus from our tour operator (I traveled from 3 companies: Pegas Touristik, Mostravel and Intourist). Now some tour operators, for example, Mostravel, are collaborating with the Egyptian tour operator Travko (and this is not a street agency) on such excursions as safaris and the like (held near the resort), but to distant ones: Luxor, Israel, Jordan, Cairo, Alexandria do not have no relation. I can’t say anything bad about the street ones, because I haven't, but I don't want to risk my health either.

I often go on excursions not from the operator, but regarding Egypt - I take only from the operators. Because traveled several times from local firms and not entirely successful.
аватар Afrodeze
Thank you all! I'll take note.

As a former hotel guide of the Intursit company, I declare to you that the TRAVCO Company is a transport company operating in Egypt. TEZ tour has its own buses, ANEX - works with Blue Sky, and so on. Excursions have nothing to do with transport companies, many companies cooperate with the same co-players (organizing companies) as the street, the difference is only in price and in the clothes the guide is wearing (uniform, for example, foreign tourist, FOR WHICH IS ALSO NECESSARY, BTW, PAY, or plain shirt and jeans.)
It is not the tour operator (PEGAS OR ANEX) that is responsible for you, but the insurance company where you insured yourself when buying a tour for a certain number of days. Try to buy a tour from PEGASA without paying for insurance, they will not sell it to you, because. they don't want to be responsible for you.
Therefore, your insurance works throughout Egypt, wherever and wherever you go,
the only non-insurable cases are chronic diseases, toothache, alcohol intoxication, you can read the full list in your insurance, there is no clause, the trip is not with a tour operator ....
If you have any more questions write...

Only the most important thing is to GET OUT THIS INSURANCE! Try to do it without the help of your tour operator!!! The chances are minimal. How many people have already been rejected! So they say DO NOT BUY EXCURSIONS ON THE STREET! They themselves are to blame. So what to talk about then? And the previous author is a person interested (I read her reviews earlier - she herself says that excursions are her earnings in Egypt)

It seems to me that traveling abroad is generally a risk. And not small. It took me two trips to come to this conclusion. Therefore, having received the first experience in Turkey, we bought tours from Tatiana without hesitation, after reading many, many opinions of those who had already used her services. Moreover, we easily "seduced" a lot of people of our race and were very pleased. Everything was clear, on schedule, without nerves. What can not be said about those who rode with Pegasus. By the way, they grabbed a huge piece of hatred of the hotel guide. In any case, the choice is yours. Good luck!
аватар Karina-Mango
to KARL12: you don't need to take out insurance, and the hotel guide, if you apply to the insurance company, is not involved at all. You have a phone number on your insurance that you call, call the insurance number, the name of the hotel and your passport data - this is ALWAYS done by the insured himself.
аватар karl12
But no! When I badly injured my leg on an excursion, I didn’t call anywhere - everything was done by the guide from Tez Tour. An ambulance arrived and I was sent to the hospital. They put on a tight bandage, took x-rays and injections, gave me pills, crutches and sent me back to the hotel in an ambulance. And everything is FREE. I doubt very much that I myself would be able to do it all and explain (I do not speak English well). Most likely, street vendors would have said "Here's the phone, call yourself" and you would have to act YOURSELF.

liked the trip to the island of Tiran on a yacht
advise
аватар Karina-Mango
When you pay for insurance, which is mandatory, along with a tour package, you must be sure that the phone number indicated on the insurance is working and that Russian employees work in the CALL center. Therefore, proficiency in English is not at all necessary in this situation.
Negotiations between the doctor and the patient, according to the law, have the right to translate only an employee of the insurance service - a special translator, the guide does not have the right to provide you with this service at all, because. if he translates something wrong (the guide, as a rule, does not have a medical education) and the doctor prescribes or gives you the wrong medicines, and God forbid, death - what then to do? Your insurance is your insurance, so you don’t need to rely on someone, especially since all insurance service employees speak Russian.

To Karl: if you think that excursions are only my income, then you are very mistaken, HOTEL GUIDE - his salary is 350 dollars, the rest of the money he receives is 5% from the sales of excursions .... Or do you think such an overpriced price on a tour for what? Firstly, this is the rent of an office, a LARGE OFFICE, payment for electricity, water, salaries of office employees, a driver for a general manager, etc. It's all you, dear tourists, pay for.
And what, someone thinks that any company will do something at a loss?
I worked as a hotel guide for a long time, and I know exactly how it all works.
аватар lvenok
I have a hotel guide as a friend and the salary there is far for $350.........
аватар Karina-Mango
Far beyond $350, that's just the interest he receives, and the basic salary of $350 is a maximum of $500, and the total salary plus commission starts at $2,000, depending on how many excursions he sells.

And with a two-year-old child, what kind of excursion can you go on so as not to get too tired and leave impressions? and how mach?
аватар lvenok
to the water park is most likely the most optimal, because. on an ordinary sea walk it can get sick, and if it tolerates well, then you can take a submarine, children really like to look through the porthole, it takes about an hour or two in time, and at a price if memory serves 50 dollars, and for children 30, the water park is about 40, dollars, for children 2 times cheaper
аватар nadin65
For young children, probably the most interesting boat with a transparent bottom, or something like that, a submarine and others.
Water park sometimes kids are afraid.
аватар Kerriblue
I understand that for the guests of the Aqua Blue hotel, the water park is free and a separate excursion is no longer needed, or am I mistaken?
аватар nadin65
Yes, of course, guests of this hotel are free of charge, and visitors from other hotels are $35
аватар Karina-Mango
also for kids: dolphin show $15, adult $25; bathyscaphe, as already mentioned above, 45 adults and 25 children.
аватар Kerriblue
Glass bottom boat - $13 per person
Moto safari - $15
аватар Karina-Mango
A glass bottom boat isn't even worth the money....
аватар Kerriblue
We with a small child on a long excursion would be dumb. And with the kids, such an excursion is both tireless and enough impressions))) We also have a dolphinarium in Odessa, so for us it was not something exotic.
аватар Karina-Mango
I mean, the bathyscaphe would be a more justified excursion, although it costs more, but it also takes longer and you will see the beauty at a depth of 3.5 meters ...
аватар Kerriblue
Let's eat and dive in the bathyscaphe))) We'll be back!!!!
