Good for a first timer - Magdy and Tariq were kind and accommodating throughout the trip. It made everything lighter eventhough the weather is super hot for us to handle.

AMAZING day tour at Philae temple and nubian village with Magdy - Today we had a fantastic tour of the Philae temple, Nubian village and botanical garden. Our guide, Magdy, was simply AMAZING. Incredible knowledgeable, smiley, supportive and kind. Highly recommended if you need a guide for either Aswan, Luxor, Abu Simbel and any other site nearby!

Aswan with Samir Jaber - Our guide Samir Jaber was an amazing guide and semi professional photographer. His photography skills were outstanding and his knowledge was incredible. He was eager to share his knowledge of all of the places we visited. He sad started the day with a quick overview of what to expect. He was able to teach us a lot of Egyptian history in one morning. He also suggested a great place for lunch which we took his suggestion and enjoyed a great Aswan lunch. I would recommend this tour if you want to learn more about the history of Aswan. Make sure to request Samir as your guide.

Pretty Good-Maybe Just the Driver Next Time? - Pretty good excursion once the tour guide finally picked us up. We waited an hour after our flight and were told they had been waiting for us, but I'm not convinced. They had our phone number, so can't figure out why they didn't call. Anyway, the sites were interesting and they dropped us off at our hotel after which was what we wanted. If I were to do the tour again, I'd do it with just the driver-don't feel the guide added much to the tour.

Informative Tour, but Quite Fast paced - While it was advertised as a full day experience, it was really more of a half day tour (around 4 hours). Our guide, was very knowledgeable and informative, sharing lots of interesting details about Aswan’s history and the sites we visited. However, the pace was quite fast, and at times it felt a bit rushed. The guide also insisted on taking many photos of us, which, while well intentioned, made the tour a bit tiring and less relaxed. Overall, it was still a good and informative experience, perfect if you want to see the main highlights of Aswan in a short time.
