“Not as expected.”
Choosing this tour guide changed the trajectory of my trip, and not for the better. Please be advised that if you are looking for a female guide specifically, that may not happen. The profile seems misleading in that way. While Sarah and Ibrahim are nice, the tour was not what I expected. Also, I wish I had declined all picture request from them for safety reasons.

I respect your right to share your experience, but several claims in your review are simply inaccurate. You were fully informed about the arrangements and guide availability and agreed to everything voluntarily. You also acknowledged that there had been no negligence or failure on our part. You were the one who chose to cancel because you felt tired — not us. After you decided to cancel, you then requested a refund. When the refund was not justified under the terms you had already agreed to, these allegations appeared. We have already provided the platform with screenshots of our conversations and evidence proving what actually happened. For that reason, your statements are unsupported and unfairly attempt to damage our reputation rather than reflect the actual service you received.

“Excellent private tour in Cairo”
We had a wonderful private tour in Cairo. Sarah organized everything perfectly and communication was very easy and professional. Our guide Youssef was excellent – very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He explained everything clearly in German and adjusted the tour to our pace. What was originally planned as a 4–5 hour tour became a much longer and very enjoyable day, with some additional stops as well. The driver was also very professional and everything was comfortable and well organized. We especially enjoyed the Cave Church, Al-Azhar Mosque and Khan El Khalili. We can highly recommend Sarah and her team. Thank you for a great day in Cairo!
