A superb excursion!! - We had a great experience with Nice Tours. Our guide, an exceptional Egyptologist spoke remarkable French and explained a lot about granite quarries, the unfinished obelisk and the great Aswan dam. The driver who transported us on the excursion was very kind too. Finally, many thanks to Rita from the Nice Tours team who helped us organize everything and took news regularly.

Enriching visit to Philae with Walid - We had the French guide Walid who was able to modulate our day according to our preferences. So we skipped the dam and the obelisk by devoting ourselves only to Philae where we were able to fully enjoy this temple. We thank Walid for his kindness and many explanations. You see in him the passion of his profession

Good tour - We had a nice tour and learnt a lot from our guide Heba. The car was comfortable and the driver was nice. Marolla was great at giving updates ahead of the tour and also followed up to see if it went well afterwards.

An amazing tour - Very well organised, with a knowledgeable tour guide, who spoke very good English. Liza checked in on us often, beginning with before we started the tour, making sure we had all the information we needed. Liza made contact again during the tour, ensuring everything was running smoothly. And what could go wrong with such attention to detail. We really enjoyed this tour, and learned many interesting facts. I highly recommend Liza and Nice Tours and would happily use them again.

Obelisk, the Philae temple, High Dam - Our tour guide Heba and driver Muhammad were friendly. Heba was knowledgeable and helpful. She gave us time to take photos. We did the tour for unfinished obelisk, the philae temple, and the high dam. Please know that the entrance tickets are not included in the tours, so please bring extra money for entrance tickets and tips. Heba is very pleasant.
