“Tolle und interessante 2 Tage mit Samir”
Wir haben an Tag 1 die Pyramiden von Gizeh sowie Memphis und Sakkara mit Samir unserem deutschsprachigem Guide und einem Fahrer besucht. Es war alles sehr beeindruckend und Samir war super freundlich und kompetent. Er hat viel erklärt und viele schöne Fotos für uns gemacht. Das Auto war komfortabel und sehr sauber. Das gilt auch für Tag 2 an dem wir einen anderen Fahrer mit ein anderes Fahrzeug hatten, aber ebenfalls mit Samir unterwegs waren. Auch diesen Tag hätten wir nicht missen wollen. Hier haben wir die Citadelle, das koptische Viertel und den Basar besucht. Alles in allem tolle zwei Tage mit einem super Guide.

Lieber Stefan, vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre ausführliche und positive Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie zwei erlebnisreiche Tage in Kairo verbringen konnten und sowohl von den Sehenswürdigkeiten als auch von unseren Services begeistert waren. Ihr besonderes Lob an Samir geben wir selbstverständlich gerne an ihn weiter. Es ist schön zu hören, dass seine fachkundigen Erklärungen, seine freundliche Art und seine Unterstützung beim Fotografieren Ihren Aufenthalt bereichert haben. Auch Ihr positives Feedback zu unseren Fahrern und den komfortablen, sauberen Fahrzeugen wissen wir sehr zu schätzen. Vielen Dank für Ihr Vertrauen und dafür, dass Sie Black Camel Tours gewählt haben. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, Sie eines Tages wieder in Ägypten begrüßen zu dürfen! Herzliche Grüße Ahmed

“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

“Kairo & Gizeh”
Wir können nur das Beste über unseren Guide und seinen Fahrer berichten. Eine tolle Begleitung zu den Pyramiden und durch das Museum. Pünktlich, aufmerksam und immer mit guter Laune, guten Tips und viel Information an unserer Seite. Man hat uns sogar eine kaputte Brille am nächsten Tag repariert zurück gegeben. Alles Bestens
