“Our Guide Mohammed Gobran is superb in his proffesion and so knowledgeable and without this the opportunity to get the most from the tours would not be as great. in addition he is a really nice fella to be with so just excellent all round. The only negative point we would raise is that until the day our Cruise began we did not know which ship we would be on and we now know there is a wide range in the quality of the ships so our tip is to beware of this . Many thanks Mohammed, Nige & Katie”

They serve local alcoholic drinks that range from approximately 3 to 7 USD. Drinks at meals are not included but cost approximately 2 dollars, you can bring your own water for free. The temples are beautiful! Be careful that tips are not included, you must pay 15 dollars per person for this which includes the entire trip, it is worth it since the guide is committed to explaining everything (we spoke Spanish but some visitors helped us translate)”
