Our Guide Tamir was excellent. He navigated through the sand dunes with so much skill and played music to get us to relax into it. He took good care of us from pick up until drop off. His customer care is on another level and I highly recommend him. And just to mention, he's a patient guide. He is an excellent photographer too. Thank you.
