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.

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.

Great and safe tour - We arrived Aswan station early morning and the driver picked us up on time. Tour guide is responsible, explained the history of Philae Temple and Nubian Village in details, everything went smoothly, no complain 🙂

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.

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.
