“We had a fantastic experience with Mohammad Bardaghawi.

Simpatico, preparato...con un umorismo tutto Giordano!”

“I paid for 6 hours tour and I got 2 hours tour, for 200€!!!!!!!To try to save the situation the company proposed us to drop us off at a coffe shop wait from 12.30pm to 4pm and give us half an hour tour around the city/or in site of the center and then run at airport. I’m disappointed to have waste my money.
