We had a great time exploring Philae temple and seeing the Aswan dam. The temple is gorgeous! Michael was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide who spoke perfect English. He also helped us make other arrangements for the next part of our trip which was very appreciated. I would highly recommend using this tour instead of trying to navigate it solo if you're not familiar with the area.

We had an amazing tour with Aida. She was so knowledgeable , personable , accommodating to all our needs , she also helped arrange transportation for the other days of our trip that she wasn’t with us thanks to her boss Michael. Philae temple was amazing after a fun boat ride , the dam super cool and even did a trip to the Nubian village with her the next day ! Don’t hesitate to book with them ! They were amazing !!

Based on other tours this one was just okay. Always great to have an educated guide so you know where you’re going and what you’re looking at. We had Mack or “Big Mac.” Knowledgeable but a little too touchy and my friend & I didn’t appreciate the pet names like Princess. He also didn’t want us taking pictures while he was talking. We did get time to take pictures after we were free to roam on our own. I understand wanting to keep us engaged, but constantly boasting if things are “clear?!” and telling us to not take pictures was annoying. Philae Temple was worth a guide but you can visit the Ob

Sehr gute Tour. Tourführer sprach perfekt deutsch, da er mehrere Jahre in Berlin felebt hatte. Er und der Fahrer waren pünktlich am Hotel. Alle Orte wurden ausführlich besichtigt und Tourführer erläuterte viele Hintergründe. Besonders gut hat uns die Tempelbesichtigung gefallen, wo er uns lange viele Details zur ägyptischen Geschichte erzählte. Transport mit Auto und zu Wasser war nur für uns gemietet und wir mussten nie warten. Absolut empfehenswert - vielen Dank

Our guide Noel was extremally knowledgeable in regards with history of ancient Egypt and all we had to visit for the day, we really enjoy everything for the duration of the day. Many thanks to our driver who took us everywhere, wait for us and keep us safe. We highly recommend this tour to have a overview of Aswan, ancient and modern.

Absolutely excellent! 5 star service. Superb experience. Relaxed, no stress. Good explanations in clear English. 'Big Mac' is friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful, even took us around the local market and helped us get a good price for our gifts home. Would definitely recommend!
