Great experience in this private tour with Omar - as well as the precise organization by oceantravel agency. Well done! Omar have been a great guide - good Italian speaker, tons of knowledge and details about history, monuments etc… he also gave us good time to take pictures, video, visit the Suk etc… of course easier for us as the tour was private.
