I had the most wonderful guided tour of Hurghada today with Tarek. He is so knowledgeable of the history and culture of Egypt! We visited the Marina, Mosque, Church, Fish market and time for shopping too. Highly recommended. Great value for money. Thank you so much!

Amazing experience!

February 20, 2025

We had an amazing experience on a city tour, the guide Tarek was absolute gem, the knowledge of history is priceless, I am a interested in ancient Egypt since I remember my self but Tareks expertise in this subject left me speechless, because there is so much more to Egyptian history than I could imagine. You can feel that he is not just working his shift off, he is passionate about Egypt and his work. He is very friendly,professional and amazing person in general . Amazing with kids too, when we first saw him we just didn’t had any shyness or odd quitness like you usually have as its a stranger, the conversation from first minit went fluent and you feel very welcomed, and treated as very important guest. And another thing it’s never too much of him or too little, he leaves you to explore at a perfect time and he appears back as well at the perfect timing which I have never experienced before and we travel a lot. Even after couple day’s we had a question about places in city , we called and he was very happy to answer our questions.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s clear that Tarek made your tour truly memorable, and it’s wonderful to hear how his passion for Egypt and deep knowledge of its history brought so much to your journey. It’s rare to find a guide who creates such a welcoming and smooth experience from start to finish, and his ability to balance time for exploration while being available when needed is truly special. I’m so glad to hear that Tarek went above and beyond to make you feel at ease, especially with the kids, and was there to help even after the tour. It sounds like he left a lasting impression – what a gem indeed! BAS Tours is lucky to have him as part of their team!

An amazing experience for an amazing price

We highly recommend this trip to anybody that comes to Hurghada, it is a must do for your trip as we got picked up from our hotel so we didn’t have to organise any taxis or such, where we were then brought to a jeep which drove us through the desert to our spot for the evening. It started with free tea during the introduction, then to a camel ride which was very exciting and fun, we were shown some of the amazing handcrafted things they have and home remedies they use, we were shown how they make delicious bread and were given some to try. We were then brought to some goats to feed where I got to hold a baby goat! We were then brought in the jeeps up to a high point to watch the sunset with a glass of alcohol free champagne which was actually really tasty. After sunset, we had our candlelight dinner which tasted amazing, then brought over to see Saturn, Jupiter and the moon through the telescopes, and ended the night by Stargazing where someone told us all about the constolations and then drove back to our hotel. Would genuinely do the trip again if I were to come back to Egypt again!

Hurghada City Tour with Tarek.

January 17, 2025

We had an amazing time on our city tour of Hurghada, thanks to our guide, Tarek. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind, making the experience truly special.

The tour was the perfect mix of culture and history. We explored a peaceful fishing village, visited a shipyard to see traditional craftsmanship, and wandered through a lively fish market. Tarek’s explanations brought everything to life.

Highlights included the stunning mosque and the city’s oldest Coptic church, where Tarek shared fascinating insights about the local culture and traditions. We finished at a vibrant fruit and vegetable market, which was a feast for the senses.

Tarek’s guidance made this tour unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend it more. If you’re visiting Hurghada, this is a must-do experience!

We had amazing time with Tarek, we learn a lot of Egyptian culture and local people’s life in Hurghada. Tarek is one of the nicest person with great sense of humor. We feel very safe all time on trip. Visit to yard next to mosque was one of the highlight for me. We enjoyed every minute of this trip. I will recommend this for very first days on your stay in Hurghada.
