The program of excursions is the same both from the guide and from the local ag-va. Moreover, the tourists end up all on the same bus. For operator guides, the price is almost 2 times higher. We always took only from local ag-v. The insurance is valid regardless of who you bought the tour from, throughout the country. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE GUIDES' HORRIBLE RELATIONS REGARDING THE INSURANCE DOES NOT WORK IF YOU DO NOT BUY THE TOUR FROM THEM!

the previous speaker stated everything in a lapidary way, if you have time and extra money, you can check it yourself, then you will give advice with knowledge of the subject ....

services are the same, prices are different and not in favor of the tour operator. For example Israel: from the operator 110 dollars from the local 70. Is there a difference? And you will ride together in the same bus with the same conditions. You just need to bargain with the locals. And you bought insurance for yourself for all occasions in Egypt.

I can’t guarantee 100%, but ATVs are not covered by package tour insurance, as these are extreme entertainments, and injuries resulting from this are not an insured event. Maybe the tour operator provides separate insurance? Didn't specify. We rode from the locals.

Locals are cheaper. And often excursions are obtained with fewer participants than if they were taken from a tour operator. Sun land was made for us by the author for 7 people. Very cool! If necessary, I will give contacts.

I really liked the tour from Anex. We rested in April 2018 and offered a new excursion towards Tabi (Lost Land). There is a village with bidouins, jeep and quad biking, a walk through the canyon, yachting and diving. Price for 1 person $80 Very good guide. On the way back, we watched several episodes of the BBC film about Egypt. Well, I really liked the tour for the whole day at 6.00, they were taken from the hotel at 22.00 and brought. In a word, I recommend.
Have a good rest.

The quality is the same. On the beach, the price is 1.5-2 times cheaper, in the city 2-4 times. At a meeting in a hotel from his operator half a lie. We were even told that we need visas to o.Tiran!!! The locals just smiled. Yes, when boarding the yacht, we checked the photos of international passports + photos of visas on a smartphone (I highly recommend doing it and it goes everywhere, the originals, respectively, only in the safe) border guards, because Father Tiran was "gifted" to Saudi Arabia, but as soon as the border guard looked at the photo on one smartphone of 8 people, and all from Ukraine (it doesn't matter, the main thing is a Slavic country), he immediately lost interest in us

The quality is the same. Different prices. Our prices are 2-3 times cheaper. As for passports, you can, of course, have a photo on your phone, but they tend to turn off at the most inopportune moment .. Then, leaving the hotel for a tour, just walk around the city, you must have a passport and insurance with you - always the originals. If suddenly you have an insured event, you should immediately call the insurance company. And then the question is where to take the tourist to the hospital or to the hotel for documents. And if there is a check in the city of documents, your photo is not a document for the police. And then you spend time figuring out if it's you or not. And you're just very lucky that you were allowed on the yacht. There were cases when tourists were returned. Therefore, representatives of companies always say to take passports. And they are waiting for tourists in the hotel while they run to the room for documents.
We invite everyone to relax with us.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name of the travel agency at all - it is located on Il Mercato almost in the center, on the left. They got it the cheapest. ATVs + Bedouin tea + camels + Bedouin dinner and show for two (on one quadric) - $ 25 (beginning of March). It took from 15.00 to 20.00. Discounted price, because we booked several excursions (you can always bargain a little on this). Were there excursions for four (two - an Egyptian with his wife, from somewhere else from another hotel), then 5-6 more people joined (they are allowed to go only in a string strictly one after another), well, in the village itself there are already a lot of people. From the guide it cost $75. Pleasant impressions!

Of course, all tour operators have the same tour operators, but the price is much lower for local ones. But before buying an excursion, read reviews or ask tourists at the hotel (especially if you buy on the beach). In March of this year, we rested in Naama Bay. We bought a 6 in 1 tour (blue hole, camels, canyon, etc.) on the beach from SUNFUN. The representative of the company (introduced himself as Sasha) was very nicely frowning, the manager was competent, but in fact everything turned out to be not as rosy as he promised. But, since the money had already been paid, no one reacted to the claims, and there was no desire to spin the problem further. Therefore, be sure to consult with someone, and, probably, you should not immediately buy a lot of excursions from one operator, first take one and if you like everything, then take the rest at a discount.

The operator is definitely more expensive, for example, in a hotel, our operator offered Cairo by bus for $ 120. and we bought a trip for $ 45, though we agreed on an excursion back in Ukraine, the site http://sharm-excursions.net/ekskursii/ekskursii-iz-sharm-el-sheiha . I liked it very much, especially the guide, speaks excellent Russian and with a good sense of humor, and also made us cool photos near the pyramids! We also took "Mega safari" there, everything was also very interesting and fun! And about insurance (the fact that it does not work, if something happens to you not on a hotel excursion, then this may be true, it was clearly stated in our insurance, so read about the effect of insurance directly in it!) And all the best, have a rest!!!
