Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- watone1The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield, UK29 contributionsThe Magical Morocco tour is definitely one to remember (for all the right reasons), it's amazing how much can be packed into 13 days with some savvy planning. Our guide, Omar, was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cared about making sure we got the most out of visiting his beautiful country, nothing was to much trouble and he was always there if we needed him. Our driver Ibrahim was excellent, always finding the smoothest bit of road to make the journey even more pleasant. This was our first time using On The Go and we will defiantly be using them again. Thanks Omar, you're an excellent ambassador to them!Written 29 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel SPerth, Australia28 contributionsExcellently curated tour to introduce us to the amazing food of Egypt and to everyday life in Cairo. Every stop was great, and extra touches like getting a look inside the kitchens and learning the stories of the owners behind the restaurants really added to the experience.

- James H1 contributionMy team and I were fortunate enough to travel to Cairo Egypt for business. While we were there we were able to see the GEM and the pyramids. If that was not enough, we were able to expierence them and learn about them with Ibrahim. The knowledge, the excitment, and to expieence the wonders of Egypt with Ibrahim was a memory I will never forget. If you dont want to just walk around the Gem and the pyramids but want to expierience them and envision them as they were, you need to have Ibrahim as your guide. Ibrahim I cant thank you enough.Written 3 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
