Egypt Private Tours & Local Tour Guides

“a disappointing and expensive experience”

i booked 2 days cairo tour package with specific requirements to have a female guide as my young daughter wanted so. The prices offered by this company were 30-40% higher than the packages offered by hotel i was staying , however due to my requirements , i accepted them. Unfortunately this company informed me midnight of previous day they have off loaded this package to some one else and male guide appeared! although he was good knowledgeable guide, we did not wanted him! he was deciding where , when and what we should we eat! he was only interested in taking us to shops to buy carpets, cloths and perfumes which we did not wanted and it was a forceful action and we never wanted to visit them! Basically this company doesn't exists, they catch the customers at higher price and offload to a cheaper company and disappear! i strongly suggest to book your tours in egypt with the hotel so that they know where are going and with whom! its cheap and safe.

“An Amazing, Personalised Tour with an Exceptional Guide and Driver!”

We had an absolutely amazing day on our private tour with Mohamed as our guide and Ahmed as our driver! The tour was tailored to the places we wanted to visit, including the Saqqara complex, the papyrus institute and the Giza Plateau, with a delicious buffet-style lunch included. Mohamed was an excellent guide who went above and beyond to explain the history, share interesting details and point out things we would never have noticed or understood without his knowledge. His English was very clear, and he was engaging, informative and happy to answer our questions throughout the day. One of the things we appreciated most was how flexible Mohamed was. He gave us plenty of opportunities to tailor the itinerary to our interests, budget and what we wanted to experience, rather than simply following a rigid, one-size-fits-all tour. This made the day feel genuinely personal and allowed us to enjoy the experience at our own pace. Ahmed was also fantastic, navigating us safely between locations in a very comfortable private car. Having a dedicated driver made the whole day relaxed and seamless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Mohamed and Ahmed to anyone looking for a knowledgeable guide, a safe and comfortable journey, and a tour that puts your own interests first. If you’re visiting Cairo and want to get the most out of your time, we highly recommend booking with them!

Dear Michelle, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable and personalized experience exploring Saqqara, the Papyrus Institute, and the Giza Plateau with us. We’re especially pleased that Mohamed’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and flexibility helped make your day both informative and memorable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him and Ahmed, who will be happy to know that their efforts contributed to such a smooth and comfortable experience. At Black Camel Tours, we believe every tour should be tailored to our guests’ interests, preferences, and pace, rather than following a fixed itinerary. Your feedback means a great deal to us and encourages our team to continue providing personal, high-quality experiences. Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Egypt for another memorable adventure in the future! Best regards, Ahmed

“Pyramids of Giza and Step pyramid”

Me and my daughter had an absolutely fantastic experience with our Egyptologist, Sarah, who guided us around the incredible Pyramids of Giza and the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Her knowledge of ancient Egyptian history was truly exceptional, and her passion for the subject brought these remarkable places to life. She shared fascinating insights, stories, and historical details that made our visits all the more memorable. What really made her stand out was her patience, kindness, and thoughtful approach. She allowed us all the time we needed at each site, never making us feel rushed and ensuring we could fully appreciate the history, atmosphere, and significance of these extraordinary monuments. Her expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine care made the whole experience both educational and unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Egypt who wants to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of its incredible ancient history. Thank you for making our visit so special and memorable. Theresa and Rebecca
