“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

“Epic Layover Experience”

I had a 16 hour layover in Chengdu and was deciding whether to tour it myself or book with a guide (it is my first time using this site). My usual option is self-exploration, but with the limited time and my limited knowledge of the language and area, I chose to go with Jason! I was not disappointed. Jason was waiting for me at the airport with a sign, a nice set of wheels, and his friendly buddy/driver, Kevin. Immediately, I was putting Jason's depth of knowledge to the test. Asking endless questions (in english), from the airport to the panda center. He navigated them smoothly, which I found foreshadowed our day together. I really enjoyed walking the panda center and learning about its history and inhabitants from Jason. He spoke with a passion for it and I could tell he enjoys sharing his knowledge. After a stellar, local lunch, I was dropped at a spot to work remote for a few hours before continuing our tour. I really appreciated this flexibility. Before dropping me back at the airport, Jason took me to a night market, where Kevin joined us for some hotpot. They both spoke on the tradition of the meal, the market, and the community and I was able to learn more about them. It was an enjoyable day and I'm glad I chose not to go it alone.
