Reviews

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.

Dear Tobias, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review of your two-day private tour. We truly appreciate your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the overall organization, the well-balanced itinerary, and the relaxed pacing of the tour, and that you felt safe and comfortable throughout the experience—especially in Cairo’s busy traffic. Your kind words about the driver are greatly appreciated, and we will be sure to pass along your compliments. Thank you as well for your constructive comments regarding the guide. We understand how important clear communication, proactive engagement, and guest support are during a private tour. We’re sorry that this part of the experience did not fully meet your expectations, and your feedback will be carefully reviewed to help us improve our service moving forward. We also appreciate you mentioning the extra charge for hotels located outside the city center, as transparency is important for future travelers. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide an even more refined experience. Kind regards, Ahmed

1 star Very Poor Experience - Ahmed

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. Ahmed made several written promises that were not honored during our 3-day Cairo/Giza tour. He explicitly stated that he would personally be our guide for all three days, but he never showed up even once. Instead, inexperienced substitute guides were sent without prior notice or consent, and the quality did not match the premium price we paid. We also paid USD 90 extra for the Pyramids Sound & Light Show with Dinner, which was never provided, and no refund was offered. Despite the package clearly including the Inside Great Pyramid (Khufu) ticket, we were forced to pay again at the entrance, resulting in a duplicate charge made under pressure to avoid last-minute disruption. The tour was sold as a full 3-day private tour, but on Day 1 we were told on-site that it was a “half-day tour” and asked to pay extra—this was never disclosed before booking. Other issues included:    •   Very old vehicle despite “modern A/C vehicle” being promised    •   No refreshments or bottled water provided    •   No lunches provided on any day, despite being included Overall, this was a case of misrepresentation, undelivered services, and poor professionalism. I would not recommend booking with Ahmed.

Dear Mr. Mohit, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We value all reviews and would like to respectfully clarify a few points for the benefit of future travelers. Due to a sudden and medically documented illness, I was unable to personally guide on the first day of the tour. In my place, a licensed and experienced Egyptologist from our professional team conducted the full 3-day program. Throughout the tour, we maintained daily communication with the guest, and no dissatisfaction or concerns were communicated at any time. The guest attended the scheduled Pyramids Sound & Light Show and received the arranged dinner and transfers. On that evening, the show itself experienced a technical issue beyond the control of any tour operator. Nevertheless, all services organized by us were provided as planned. There was a brief misunderstanding regarding access to the Inside Great Pyramid. Once clarified, the amount paid was immediately returned in cash. The guest declined the refund and explicitly requested that the amount be kept by the guide as a gratuity. The Grand Egyptian Museum visit was clearly explained and confirmed in advance as a half-day tour. At the conclusion of the visit, the guide offered to remain available at no additional cost; however, the guest chose to continue independently. Transportation was provided in a modern air-conditioned vehicle (model year 2024). Meals included in the program were arranged as confirmed; on some occasions, the guest opted for alternative arrangements by personal preference. At no point during the tour were complaints raised, and daily follow-ups confirmed satisfaction. We remain fully committed to transparency, professionalism, and delivering high-quality private tours. Best regards Ahmed
