About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- angiewahu0 contributionsClimbing The Muntain Of St.Catherine With Bonfire AdventuresAt around midnight we started our climb of Mount St.Catherine. Very religious moment where we followed the steps that Moses took to get the Ten Commandments. This activity is very precious for all spiritual people and not to mention very safe. There so many beautiful sights to see and it's very enjoyable thanks to Bonfire Adventures.Written 27 August 2023
- 21hilarym0 contributionsFantastic showAbsolutely fantastic show, highly recommended. Our guide was Abdo who was very helpful & engaging. A must see !Written 11 March 2023
- TecDiveNomad0 contributionsWell organized and informative.We were picked up on time at our hotel with a clean, air conditioned tour van and water bottles waiting for us inside. It was a nice start to what turned out a pleasant, informative and well organized tour. The lunch at the end of a tour was a tasty barbecue served at a nice open air restaurant. Overall it would have been a great experience had it not been for two shopping stops which were neither on the itinerary nor requested. The attention given to us by the shopkeepers made us feel obligated to buy something. The tourist traps were nice - one with jewelry and other souvenirs and the other with clothing and other cotton products, however a shopping trip was not what we signed up for as part of this tour and we would have preferred to spend that time visiting sites that were more compatible with the stated itinerary.Written 20 May 2022
