Best excursion ever
I have been booking my excursions with Zakharious-Tours for years, whether from Hurghada or another resort. The excursions are always well organized, fun and very informative. The prices are cheap, you get a high quality delivered. Always my pleasure.
A little tip for tours to Cairo and Luxor: Always choose the 2-day option. It is more relaxed and not so strenuous.
dreamlike
We booked the dolphin tour to Samadai reef. Dolphins in the wild. There were 2 big dolphin families who didn't want to move on. Perfectly. Already with the speed boat on the high seas is a great experience. We just had to let ourselves go, everything went as discussed or better still as promised. RECOMMENDED
