Perfect guide, well planned journey to the sites. - Our guide was Michael and he made total difference. Michael has a perfect fluent amazing English. He is so kind, polite, a true Egyptologist. You see passion on his eyes while he talks about the history. I would spend days listening to his explanations. He picked us up on time im the hospital and from the beggining he was fully dedicated to us and our experience. After 12 days in Efypt, this was our last tour and we could not be happier. A huge thank to Michael, for making our last tour as an amazing last memory of our trip. Anyone going to Egypt, I highly recommend to ask for Michael as a guide. You have my word that you will not regret it!

Can't go wrong - This place is beautiful. The Nubian decor was great. The food was the best I had in all of Egypt. The staff was extremely attentive, professional, and kind. Definitely, it was a perfect decision.

No crowds- No Rush! Amazing private tour - If you want a private tour and a private guide with no crowds and no rush, this is it! We were picked up on time by Aida our amazing tour guide, she took us to High dam, Philae temple, Unfinished Obelisk, and some local shopping. We booked with same company the rest of our tours in Aswan.

Private tour, just me and my guide. - Everything was well planned and organized. Wait to buy anything until after you return from the boat so you don't have to carry it around the site.

The perfect tour - Michael was very informative and took great care to educate and make the experience special. The temple at Philae was an excellent way to finish two weeks of touring Egypt.
