Customizable Private Tours with Local Tour Guides

“Simply Osaka”

We had a great time with Akira and would definitely recommend him. He explains things in a simple, straightforward way that’s easy to understand. When we visited a shrine, he explained what kind it was, what everything was used for, and why people do certain rituals, which made the visit much more meaningful. He also shared a lot about Japanese culture and everyday behavior, and explained the history of Osaka Castle clearly without overcomplicating it. We learned a lot and had a great time. It’s really nice to know what you’re actually seeing instead of just thinking, “oh, that’s a funky building.” Highly recommended.

“Overall well-organized trip”

We booked a two-day private trip with Black Camel Tours in January and overall had a good experience, though there were some ups and downs. The organization of the tour was excellent and the itinerary was well-planned with the right balance of activities. The places we visited were very interesting, but we never felt rushed or exhausted, and we had plenty of time to enjoy each site and take photos without stress. The driver was a highlight of the trip; he was very punctual, respectful, and we felt completely safe in his car, which is saying a lot given how crazy Cairo traffic can be. Just be aware that they do charge extra if your hotel is located outside of the Cairo city center. However, we had mixed feelings about our guide. She was helpful and explained the history, but we sometimes struggled to understand her due to her accent. More importantly, we wished she had been more proactive. There were periods where she didn't speak much, and we felt she could have offered more insight without us having to ask. We also felt she could have done a better job shielding us from locals and scammers. Vendors in Cairo can be very intense trying to sell overpriced items, and we felt she didn't really step in to protect us or ensure we were getting a fair deal, which is something you usually rely on a private guide for. Overall, it was a solid experience with great logistics and driving, but I would probably request a different guide next time.

“Passionate about Kochi”

Hiroshi is a wonderful guide. He truly wanted to show us his city. He planned our tour perfectly and took us to places that are well known and some that we never would have discovered on our own. His explanations of history were amazing and gave us the background we needed to understand the importance of what we were seeing. I highly recommend Hiroshi to show you Kochi !

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. As someone who was born and raised in Kochi, I always enjoy sharing not only the well-known highlights, but also local history and places that even many locals do not often visit. I’m very glad I could take you to some of those spots today. It truly meant a lot to hear that the historical background helped you better understand what you were seeing. Showing you my hometown was a real pleasure. Thank you again for choosing Kochi and for taking the time to write such a warm review. Best regards, Hiroshi
