A tour very well executed - We engaged Nice Tours for this private day tour and I must say that the organisation of it was seamless. Ahmed S, who was our guide did a great job in telling us about the places we visited. Thank you, Rita for a well organised tour.

Discover Philae - Organization at the top, we were expected in the hotel lobby and we let ourselves be guided the whole excursion by our guide who was very friendly!
Do not forget, however, that entrance tickets are not included in the price of the excursion. There is therefore $25 to add to the rate per person

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.
