Visit to the Nubian Village - We were picked up by Mariam (our guide) from our Nile cruise, and we went by boat to the Nubian village, about 45 minutes very pleasant on the Nile. The village is beautiful and unique, we learned some of its customs and enjoyed its beautiful streets. The guide answered all our questions, was lovely and recommended other things we could do for Aswan. Delighted to have had the opportunity to match such a nice and professional guide 10/10

The best guide we’ve ever had! - We were incredibly lucky to have Mariam Luka as our guide during our visit to the Danube village, and we honestly can’t thank her enough for the amazing experience. She is, without a doubt, the best guide we’ve ever had on any of our travels. Mariam showed us the village with such deep knowledge and contagious passion. Every explanation, every detail, every story was full of history, emotion, and authenticity. She didn’t just take us to the most iconic spots—she also led us through hidden corners only a true local expert would know. Thanks to her, we didn’t just see the village… we felt it. Beyond her professionalism, Mariam is incredibly warm, kind, and attentive. She made everyone in the group feel comfortable and welcomed, always making sure we were engaged and enjoying every moment. We would 100% recommend this experience, especially if you get to do it with Mariam. We not only learned a lot, but also walked away with a beautiful memory. Thank you, Mariam, for your dedication and for making us feel like part of the Danube village for a day!

Rasha Guide - Today is our first day through the company and we would like to leave a comment on the people who have come to pick us up from the hotel. They have been very kind and right now we are with the guide Rasha, amazing. Rasha is being very kind and very honest. He's helping us a lot with his advice.

Unexpected gem! - We had the most expected and wonderful visit. This activity was part of a larger package that was booked for us and we didn’t know what to expect and yet we had so much fun. We din’t have a camel ride but we did get to play with and handle a baby crocodile and water a larger one. It was all unexpected and very fun! Our host was welcoming and showed us around his home and village and even took us to see the local school and we met the most lovely school teacher who game my husband and I a quick little lesson in both Aramaic and the Nubian language. Excellent teacher but terrible students! I just know Mr. Well is the most loving teacher any student could ask for. The whole visit was so unexpectedly fun and colourful! I also bought a scarf that is hand woven by the ladies in the village. It’s a hidden gem of an activity. Plus you get the fun boat ride to get there to enjoy the flora and fauna!

Shimaa treat us very well - Shimaa is an excellent guide, always helping in all your needs, 100% recommended, she took us to all major attractions in Aswan

Philae island - Super interesting great support from our guide Mary. Very passionate about the history, making it even more interesting. 5 stars!

First day in Egypt - First day of tour, I hv Mohammed Wagih be the tour guide, he is nice and knowledgeable with multi-lingual. It was a pleasant and for first visit Cairo

Nice Concept, Poor Execution - Skip the Camel Ride - We booked this tour for our group of 6 and had mixed feelings about the experience. The Good: Our guide George was friendly and well-dressed (full black suit and white shirt in 85-degree heat, which my sister found endearing though I think a polo would have been more practical). Two sweet 14-year-old Nubian boys steered our boat - they were on school holiday and helping their families earn money using their father’s boat. We tipped them generously. At the village, we met Mustafa, the tour company owner, who gave us interesting background on Nubian history and how the dam forced migration. The villagers were friendly and welcoming. We walked past colorful restaurants with beautiful murals that made for nice photos. The Problems: First, be warned there were lots of flies during our visit. We spent the entire time swatting them from our faces. We declined the home visit with tea ceremony as it felt exploitative to us, though this was offered. The camel ride completely fell apart. The listing advertises “a peaceful ride along the Nile River bank” but what we got was a chaotic ride through the local market. The camels were aggressive and didn’t listen to handlers well. We kept bumping into each other and it was stressful, not peaceful. Nothing like the calm camels we rode at the Giza Pyramids. Worse, the moment we got off, the camel handlers became aggressive about tips. My wife, niece, and sister felt harassed, which really upset me. I gave them several hundred Egyptian pounds and they were clearly unhappy. We walked away but it completely ruined the experience. The village itself doesn’t have much to see. We browsed the market, haggled for a few items, and were ready to leave 30 minutes before the tour ended. On the return boat ride, small children on paddleboats latched onto our motorboat singing for tips. My Advice: Skip this organized tour entirely. Hire a local felucca captain directly for a few hundred Egyptian pounds, boat to the village yourself, and walk around independently. The organized tour and especially the camel component are not worth the price. George and the company were nice enough people, but the value isn’t there and the aggressive tipping culture around the camels was uncomfortable. The Nubian village is worth seeing for the colors and culture, just do it on your own terms.

Scam, Dont waste your time, money on this Tour Operator! Stay away. - This so-called tour to the Nubian Village by boat was an absolute travesty and a blatant rip-off, squandering precious time and hard-earned money on nothing but frustration. The guide barreled through the itinerary like a maniac, dictating every second without allowing a shred of personal freedom or leisure – we were herded like sheep with zero autonomy. The advertised camel ride? Non-existent, a shameless lie that reeks of deceptive marketing designed to lure in unsuspecting victims. Their WhatsApp customer service was pathetically inept, bordering on non-functional, amplifying the misery tenfold. Do yourself a favor and skip this fraudulent outfit entirely, negotiate directly with a local boatman to dodge this abysmal service and outright false promises. Sure, the Nubian Village hold some vague charm if approached independently, but this dreadful operator poisoned the entire experience from the start, turning what could be tolerable into a regrettable ordeal. Insist on exploring at your own rhythm – anything but this incompetent disaster. Be wary and protect yourself please.

No way - We did this trip with boat and it sermed cool but the restaurant was very very bad, tour guide was so serious and we don’t recommend… I’m sorry to write this but you have to check priorities!
