Great, seamless experience with Mohamed - Mohamed Gobran was a great guide. Loved having him along on the boat to go along with our group to each stop, explain the agenda each day and a brief introduction of the site in advance of entry. He made everything seamless and was animated in his explanation. Wonderful experience. The boat itself could be nicer but that is separate from the guide experience which was delightful.
