Highly recommendible!
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... 😉

Aswan sites private tour
Great private tour of the high dam, philae temple and the unfinished obelisk. My guide , Mohamed , was very knowledgeable , friendly and engaging. He had all the answers to my questions ( and I had lots of 😄). I could not recommend it more especially if you’re looking for and experience where you got at your own pace without rush . Thanks Mohamed !

Mini Bus private tour of the Top Dam, Philae Temple and the unfinishedObelisk
Great tour, picked. Up from our Cruise ship on time and given a guided tour of the Top Dam at Aswan, the Philae Temple via a small boat and a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, our Guide the lovely Mary is excellent and very knowledgable, she even stopped off at a local shop and provided us with a bottle of cold water.
Fantastic value for money and highly recommended tour!

A 3hr drive from Aswan, mainly on good and quiet roads through the desert
Both temples are fantastic and worth taking your time

This is a quick 3-4 hours excursion to see two of the most popular attractions in Aswan. But not that much to see at the high dam, so more time is better spent at the Philae Temple.

Great private tour
It was really well organised and the information prior to the trip reassured me. Our guide Mary and driver were already waiting for myself and partner in advance. Mary was lovely and very knowledgable, we were so lucky having her as a guide.
Thank you so much Mary we really enjoyed our tour with you.

Wonderful exploration of...
Wonderful exploration of Aswan major sites. Our guide Zak was the best guide we’ve had on our Egypt trip so far. Extremely knowledgeable, excellent English (he was concerned about this but his language skills were great). He pointed out all the details we would have missed on our own. Transit and other details of the tour were as expected.

It is convenient to go to main tourism place for a short time
I enjoyed this tour between the transfer time from Abu Simbel to Cairo. I was picked up at Aswan Airport and sent back. It is convenient for me to go to some of the main tourism place for a short time.
But it might be kind to make clear that extra rate is needed if someone takes pick-up and drop-off service from and to the airport both. (I agree to be charged because the airport is far.)

When to visit

The Aswan High Dam is a must for engineering buffs.
The dam is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.
While the dam offers great views of the river and lake, the best spot from which to see the dam itself is located about half a mile (0.8 kilometers) downstream.
Photos are allowed, but telephoto lenses are prohibited. Avoid photographing the dam’s military installments.
