After an unpleasant experience with a group tour, a day with Adel was a breath of fresh air; laid back, fun, and easily customizable. I felt like I was sightseeing with a friend. I booked the balou3 bal3a/douma/afqa tour and it was amazing. Adel took many photos and 360 videos which was such a nice bonus. I highly recommend booking with them.. can't wait for my next trip to do so! Thank you guys ❤️ Sylvie Yaacoub
