Aswan High Dam Tours and Tickets - page 2

We had a splendid time with Omar ( guide) and Hani ( driver). They are very kind and know English very well. Omar is prepared on everything we visited and he answered all our questions. They even brought us to the quarry to see how local people extract the stole from the ground. We really uppreciated their company and we suggest tourists to book this trip with them.

If you are in Aswan this tour is a 'must do'... The Aswan High Dam is nice to see, but the real highlight is the Philae Temple on the island, which also houses a Roman temple. A magic place! Both the driver and the guide (Aida) where five star quality. The guide gives you a lot of information about both the Greek and Roman temples. And she is very funny... 😉

Great afternoon trip, knowledgeable guide, clean modern car, courteous driver, reasonable cost, Highly Recommended.

Excellent trip with very knowledgeable friendly guide, Milad. Driver professional and skilled with lovely modern clean car. Milad was good at answering our questions. They were punctual picking us up. We would highly recommend this tour.

Overall this was a really good tour. The guide was attentive from start to finish and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and shared a wealth of information. The logistics were spot on too: no queuing for tickets, and a private motorboat to Philae. Honestly perfect on that front. Two things let it down, though. First, the stop at a perfume shop, which felt like a classic tourist trap. I was given a "private tour" of the shop and pressured to buy, which I never signed up for. Part of why I booked a private tour was to avoid exactly this kind of situation, not to be taken straight into one. Second, at the end the guide explicitly asked for a tip for himself and the driver. I did tip, but given the price I paid for a private tour, being directly asked felt a bit off. I'd still recommend the guide and the organization, but I'd love to see the shopping stop removed (or made optional) and tipping left to the traveler's discretion. knowledgeable.
