- 1 month ago -Excellent service Couldn’t thank Alpha enough for all his support and advise during our holiday in Sharm last week. Before we started our holiday Alpha provided us with arrange of different trips we could plan during our stay also answered any questions I had which I think there was a few given it was our first time to Egypt. We went with the option where we were collected from the airport which was great. Met with Alpha the next day and planned all or trips. We went to Luxor which was amazing! Quad biking/ buggies/ banana boat/ parasailing and even went on a camel. Such a great day. I think me and my boys would agree the highlight of our trip was snorkelling and diving in the Red Sea. Unbelievable experience which we would definitely do again. Thank you Alpha for all your support! I feel I must have had a million questions which you kindly always replied too 😊 I would highly recommend anyone booking tours get in touch with Alpha. Such a friendly well organised service with no hiccups at all! We can’t wait to come back! We will definitely be booking our trips through Alpha again 😎🐠
