The highlight of this tour is the Philae Temple. Definitely not worth the price they charge you to get you there by boat and it is likely why they add other activities like the Aswan dam and the unfinished Obelisk. The Philae Temple is really nice to visit, and paying 300 Egyptian Pound per adult is good value but this not included in your ticket. I also felt we were squeezed tight in sedan car with no water provided (especially in the summer when it is 35 Celcius or 100 Fahrenheit). Water was included in the e package but we didn’t get any. When we got in the car, the guide and driver had water but nothing for the guess, I find that rude. The guide Aida offered other optional activities like the Nubian village (extra charges) and the spice discovery which I felt were of no interest and more tourist traps. I suggest you pick a tour specifically for Philae Temple and save money and time.

Philae temple is spectacular, unfinished obelisk is really fascinating and the dam brings out lots of interesting social and political background to its construction. Michael our guide was knowledgeable and articulate and super-helpful with ticket purchases and boat hire. A very enjoyable afternoon and would highly recommend both the various sites we visited and the team who really brought it to life for us.

Big Mac is very friendly and knowledgeable, his way of narration is very engaging and exciting. We’d definitely recommend him to everyone who want a great time in Aswan!

Our guide Big Mac was very talkative and kind. He told us a lot about the egyptian history of these monuments. We highly recommend this experience!!

My tour with Magda was excellent, he started telling me about the history of Egypt and High Dam etc from the start of our trip and continued telling me such interesting facts, not only about the places we were to visit on our tour but also answered any questions I had. He made the trip enjoyable and brought the ancient treasures of Egypt alive.

Part of a fantastic trip along the immortal Nile. Our guide "Big Mac" or "Magdy" was knowledgable about all sites and aspects, very punctual, flexible and a great company. He gave as much information and time on its site as we desired. At the same time he also" received lectures" in Greek Ancient History :) The time we spent with him was interesting and fun. We would love to get back !

Fantastic day trip to Abu Simbel. Our guide “Big Mac” was knowledgeable, attentive and very good company. It was a memorable trip made all the better by BM and his great sense of humour ( he insisted on calling us Big Boss and My Queen- what’s not to like!). Highly recommended.

Wonderful day. Aida was a fabulous tour guide, very knowledgeable and good fun. Gave us the option to add on a Nubian village tour and to see some Aswan perfume and spice merchants, all of which were very much enjoyed

Friendly and knowledgeable! Great time with Aida who help explained all parts of the tour effectively. Helped us with getting quality souvenirs and even got them at a low price from the store owners!

Michael explained everything very well. He was very articulate and clear…learned a lot. Driver Mark was good also.

Totally recommended! Had a great time! Our guide irhan was the best, vety helpful and flexible! Please ask for him!!!!!

Philae temple was the favourite part of the day trip. Guide knew a lot about all the sites that were visited.

Great tour. Got to see the main things in Aswan and the guide was very knowledgeable and punctual. Went great.

Aida is a fantastic guide. Nothing was too much trouble and her explanations were knowledgeable and full of character. Aida arranged a visit to the Nubian village at a moment’s notice, that was not part of the planned tour, but turned out to be the highlight of the day. Thanks, Aida.

Aida, our tour guide, was so lovely; very knowledgeable, funny, kind and helpful. She made sure we knew everything about the sites and even added a little extra at very short notice to organise a trip to a Nubian village. The whole experience was great. The drivers of the car and the boats were also very friendly and polite.

A very informative and interesting trip to the philae temple and the high dam with Ms Ayyda. She was very helpful and Accomodating throughout the trip. Any English speaking I would definitely recommend Ms Ayyda.

Mina and his driver met us promptly at 8am at our hotel. He was the most knowledgeable guide we had in Egypt. He was professional, informative and his knowledge of the ancient Egyptian history was exemplary. I would highly recommend Mina to be your tour guide while in Aswan!

Our tour with Aida was great. She communicated upon our arrival to organize a time for pick that suited us and was very accommodating. She was knowledgeable and an overall lovely person. I wanted to stop at a spice market and she arranged it...it was a lovely day. Thank you Aida

This was a great your. Our guide, Michael, came on time with a car and driver. He had a lot of good and interesting information on the High Dam, how it was built and the effects of the dam. Philae Temple was fascinating. We were just about the only tourists there today! Try the fresh mango juice at the refreshment stand. Delicious.
