“Beautiful cairo, Guide was okay”
On the first day, we visited the Pyramids and the Sphinx with our two children, including a camel ride. The tour lasted 3 to 4 hours, just as we had requested. We were picked up from our hotel right on time. Our guide spoke good German, shared many interesting facts with us, and frequently checked in to see if we had any questions. We were also offered additional options—such as a visit to a papyrus museum—but we declined, as the children were tired. On the second day, we visited the Grand Egyptian Museum. The guide showed us a few highlights from the collection, after which we had some free time to explore the museum on our own. Overall, the tours were interesting. The only negative point I must mention is that the vehicle provided for our pickup was too small; the four of us had to squeeze into the back, which was very uncomfortable given the intense heat.

“Excellent service!”
Esraa, our guide was amazing, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. She took care of all our needs and made sure our visit was the best it could be. Her local knowledge was invaluable and we felt so blessed to have her guiding us for two days. The driver’s were also very friendly and helpful, ensuring we felt safe and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Black Camel Tours again, and I would heart-fully recommend their services to anyone wanting to get the most out of their Egypt experience.
