Ask for Aida! - We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Aida, and we cannot recommend her enough. She was incredibly patient, kind, and truly made us feel welcomed from the very start. Her deep knowledge of Egypt’s history and culture, especially around Aswan, the Philae Temple, and the Nubian village, added so much depth to our experience. She shared fascinating insights in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely engaging. It’s clear she loves what she does, and her friendly, helpful nature made this unforgettable. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Aswan thanks to her!

Philae Temple, Nubian Village tour - Aida’s tour was so intriguing and captivating. We went to Philae temple, the Nubian market and village. She was very knowledgeable and good about getting us fair prices when negotiating. I would recommend her to anyone interested having an authentic south Egyptian experience.

Great Service - Had a wonderful day with Aida. Started at the Temple and then we got to explore Aswan a bit and ended in the Nubian village. Aida showed us some of the local shops in Aswan and helped us negotiate prices and purchase the things we wanted. She was very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and all of the other temples. It was really nice to spend half of my day with her. I would happily do it again.

Unforgettable Experience in Aswan! - Wonderful experience in the city of Aswan with our guide Michael! He was very patient as we arrived late from Luxor. He was very knowledgeable, down to earth, funny, and so accommodating. He was so patient during our shopping and made us feel very welcome. I will always remember this tour of the Nubian Village and Philae Temple. Wish we could have stayed with our guide for our whole vacation in Egypt. I went with my two daughters and we felt very safe and comfortable.

Ottima Guida! Bellissima Giornata! - Great tour and great guide. The day was very pleasant and relaxing; the times were balanced, the tour lasted about 5 hours. We visited the Nubian village and the temple of Philae. The Guide (Mary) very competent, helpful and professional. The car and driver service were also of a high standard.

Superb Experience - Nice places, and the guides were superb, punctual and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. The trip takes around 6 Hrs.

Philae temple & Nubian house - The organization was very professional and the guide quite knowledgeable about the site and the Nubian way of life. The only remark is that the visit to the Nubian village is a bit disappointing.

Miriam was a polite and... - Miriam was a polite and knowledgeable tour guide. We enjoyed the boat ride to Philae Temple and Miriam was able to provide the history of the site. We were then due to visit three different shops (alabaster workshop, spice shop and incense shop), however as we had already visited these in Cairo we asked if these could be missed as we did not want to feel pressured to buy any goods. Miriam was flexible and happy to accommodate this request. The Nubian village was interesting to see but is a small area and therefore extensive time here isn’t needed. The local shop keepers are also very eager to speak to tourists which made the experience overwhelming. Although Miriam was a very pleasant guide, we felt that the cost of the tour was a bit high for what was included.

Guide was average at... - Guide was average at best. Nubian village was underwhelming. Temple was the main highlight and it was cool to take boat to the temple.

A Disorganised and Disappointing Tour Experience - I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the tour experience my wife and I had. Unfortunately, the service we received was far from what was promised in the itinerary and fell significantly short of our expectations. Firstly, although the driver arrived on time, there was a complete lack of communication. We were not provided with any details, and the driver did not speak to us at all, leaving us unsure if he was the driver, the guide, or both. After approximately 20 minutes of silent travel, the car stopped, and a woman entered, identifying herself as the guide. It was only then that we were informed of the plan for the day. The guide asked to see my phone to verify the itinerary, which felt unprofessional and unprepared. We proceeded to Philae Temple, where she provided about 15 minutes of basic information before leaving us to explore on our own while she went to the cafe. Despite the itinerary stating we would spend two hours at the temple, we were left without guidance after the brief introduction. We spent about an hour exploring and reading the signs ourselves. During this time, we even encountered the guide we had the previous day for Abu Simbel, who was providing another group with a more thorough and engaging tour a stark contrast to our experience. After our self-guided tour, we returned to the cafe to meet our guide. She then led us to a gate, which we were not allowed to pass through, and without any explanation, she walked off. We were left to navigate our own way out through a crowded bazaar being hassled by the merchants, feeling completely abandoned and confused. Next, we were driven to the Nubian Village, despite the itinerary clearly stating that we would travel there by boat along the Nile. Upon arrival, we entered the village through a back alley, not the picturesque entrance we had seen in promotional materials and social media. We were shown only one house and left to take photos on our own, with no further explanations or guidance. The tour felt rushed and disorganized. Once again despite the itinerary stating we would be taken back along the Nile by boat we were driven back by car. Finally, on the return journey, we were informed that the driver would drop the guide off first as she lived closer, further emphasizing the lack of consideration for us as paying customers. Overall, the tour was poorly executed, disorganized, and failed to deliver the promised itinerary.
