Ambiguous opinion about the tour company

In principle, we were probably lucky and we did not encounter any serious troubles, but later it was clear that TPG had problems with the organization. The guide met at the airport of Sharm El-Sheikh, led to the buses, joked a lot on the road and cheered me up in every possible way. His name was Noah. The next day we met in the lobby, he suggested all kinds of excursions, told horror stories about local excursions and why they should not be bought. We immediately booked what we planned - a trip to Cairo to the pyramids and a desert safari with dinner at the Bedouins. We took a trip on a boat to the sunken ship, Tiran Island and diving much cheaper from the locals even before the guide arrived with his excursions. Of course, he showed his displeasure and said that they would drown us there and throw us ashore, it was unpleasant to listen to this nonsense. After we bought the excursions, we never saw him again :) The first was a safari, we received a letter with a reminder. Everything went perfectly, it was evening, the sun was setting and the mountains were bright orange - the beauty is indescribable. Definitely recommend, we got a lot of positive.

The next day we went to Cairo. We also received a notification, at the reception we took dry rations, ordered in advance by the guide. The bus was big, it was comfortable, the guide was different, he told a lot of interesting things, we arrived in the evening, had dinner and spent the night on the ship. Everything is great. The next day we had breakfast while driving to the pyramids, brought to a bunch of shops to pump out money, but this is a normal phenomenon not only in Egypt. Then there was another restaurant, we had lunch. Pyramids and shops again. We already tearfully asked - take us home, but the guide said that such a program and we, with tired faces, listened to another steaming of healing oils, after which one Kazakh said: "We tried in vain, they treated us the day before yesterday in Sharm." Everyone laughed and went home. It was cold in the evening, we were very cold, we asked to turn on the stove, to which we did not even receive an answer whether there was one at all. We returned home very late, gathered for the promised late dinner, and then a surprise awaited us, the reception knew nothing about it. We wrote to the guide on viber, but he did not answer. We were left hungry. The next day he wrote that he had gone on vacation. The sign from TPG disappeared, where there was information from the travel agency. And they were taken to the airport in general by representatives of another travel agency. It's good that it all ended like that, but still there were unrest, what was happening, no one said anything, no one warned what happened there and where the TPG representatives disappeared - it's not clear.
