“Lack of clarity and poor communication”
This service had both ups and downs during our 5‑day tour through Cairo and Luxor. The Positives: Excellent and clear explanations from our guides, Esraa in Cairo and Hamed in Luxor, and great support from the drivers in both locations. The negatives: It was not clearly explained that Ahmed was not our guide and tour coordinator, but rather that we were contracting with a travel agency Black Camels Tours. We only understood this once we arrived in Cairo. Ahmed promised to send the guide and driver details a couple of days before departure, but this did not happen. We only received the information six hours before departure after repeated messages and reminders in the Gowithguide app. In Luxor, it was even worse—we received the details only upon arrival at the airport. This lack of timely communication made things stressful, especially considering the challenges of accessing the internet while traveling overseas with multiple connections. When I shared my recommendation, Ahmed responded with a rude message, which added to the unpleasantness. In conclusion, I would recommend this service for a one‑day tour, but not for multi‑day tours across different locations. The lack of clarity, poor communication, and rude tone detracted from the overall experience and made the trip less pleasant and more stressful.

Ahmed A.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are genuinely pleased to know that you had a positive experience with our guides, Esraa in Cairo and Hamed in Luxor, as well as with our drivers. Delivering knowledgeable guiding and reliable transportation is a priority for us, and your comments in this regard are highly appreciated. At the same time, we would like to clearly clarify an important point. We operate as a coordinated team of professional licensed guides across different cities, not as a single guide accompanying guests throughout the entire trip. This structure is intentionally designed to provide you with local expertise in each destination and to ensure operational reliability. This information is also transparently stated in our profile under the important details section. Regarding communication and the sharing of guide and driver details, our process was communicated to you in advance. All final details are provided one day prior to each service to ensure full accuracy and to avoid any last-minute operational changes. As also explained, both our operations team and I remain in continuous contact with our guests before and during the trip, ensuring that no guest is ever left without support at any stage. While we respect that your expectations regarding timing may have been different, we must emphasize that all services were delivered as agreed, and continuous assistance was available throughout your journey. We remain committed to maintaining a professional, reliable, and well-coordinated service, and we appreciate your feedback as part of that ongoing effort. We wish you all the best in your future travels.
