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.

The guide on the spot of Guydeez in Dakar had demonstrably not shown up to the meeting point at the port for the excursion. We waited 1.5 hours for him, looked for him and asked who might have seen him.
All details were discussed in advance by e-mail. When I later wrote to the tour guide Becaye Guindo in Dakar, he claimed that he was at the port and did not find us. Thus he admitted that he was informed about the date and details of the booked excursion. The port has only one exit for passengers and pedestrians. We searched for him for 1.5 hours and addressed all the people if this is the guide. In addition, we were clearly recognizable as tourists so he could have found us in any case.
We also called the emergency number of the booking/organizer Guydeez. There was also no help to get as a band announcement in Spanish came forward! The holiday time was wasted:
Private tailor-made walking tour with a local guide in Dakar, 3 hour walking tour 10:00 EUR €84.00 Wed, March 06, 2024 2 adults
And unfortunately we didn't get refunded either!
Despite several complaints we did not get the 84 euros back! Be careful: Rip-off and cheating!
From Tripadvisor/Viator I received standardized answers with canned texts via email. No reference had been made at all to my personal arguments. No detail or other information was provided. I was given a nice and general rejection by Viator. Viator did not comment on the fact that the tour guide knew about the event and did not appear as he claimed in the mail.
Poor service and not a bit customer friendly! The money's gone! Be careful: Guydeez fends off with false claims!
