Carlos_M, Sep 2026

Punctual, Attentive, and Welcoming Service!

Arriving at Aswan International Airport at 12:45 AM can be exhausting, but this transfer service made it completely stress-free. The driver was right there waiting for me with a warm smile on his face and was incredibly attentive from the very first moment. Excellent service from start to finish—I highly recommend them!

Amazing Abu Simbel

Our tour to Abu Simbel was unforgettable, all thanks to Mustafa. He is an exceptionally warm, educated, and passionate guide with a profound knowledge of the temple's history. What made it extra special was the wonderful teaching material he shared with us via WhatsApp during the tour, giving us great resources to keep learning. If you want a guide who truly brings ancient history to life, Mustafa is the absolute best!

Great tour you cannot miss

My tour with Imperial Egypt was beyond expectation. The room was clean and neat, and food was just fantastic. The sites we visited were all awesome - magnificant temples and beautiful scenes. Our tour guid, Mr. Hady, is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would bring my family next time to this tour.

A must do Assuan

Our driver Ahmed was super nice and he brought us some fresh drinks for the trip. Thank to the two guides (Fatma and Amani) for showing us the Edfu Temple and the Kom Ombo temple in so much detail. The two guides know English very well and they are very kind. We really appreciate their time!!

See the real Egypt.

If you want to see how people live in Egypt away from the cities take this trip. It is tiring but worth it. You share the road ( if you call it that) with double trucks, buses, mini vans, cars, tricycle buses, cars, motorbikes, people, horse and cart, donkeys and even hundreds of goats blocking the road. You see the people in their day to day lives and kids jumping off the bridges into the canals for fun and to cool off. Then of cause the temples , especially Edfu, along the way.

As others pointed out,...

As others pointed out, the tour includes only the driver and the guide is waiting for you on site and gives you 15 min explanation. You have 2 hr to explore Abu Simbel which is beautiful and magnificent. As long as you are aware of this, and accept it, it is a good tour. Lunch included is a traditional Egyptian food which was surprisingly good. The driver did not speak English well, but was very nice and accommodating

Great alternative

We were on a cruise but decided to use Viator for this excursion. We were so pleased we did as the price was so much cheaper and when we arrived at Abu Simbel there were no crowds. Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The road trip was long but comfortable and interesting.

Aswan Day Tour Visiting Philae Temple, Unfinished Obelisk and High Dam in Aswan

daringreenlees, Feb 2026

Great one-on-one varied tour

Overall a very good trip. We were lucky enough to have our own personal guide with driver (unfortunately can’t remember her name). I guess if others have booked the same tour it may not be a one-on-one trip. We visited the Aswan Dam and Philae Temple (via motor boat) and Unfinshed Obelisk. Great history and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Allowed us to ask lots of questions and not just about the trip, but can also ask general questions about Egypt and the local area. Only negative was that the trip included a stop off at a Spice store and a Perfume store where both felt like a hard sell and we felt a little pressured into purchases where the prices weren’t really cheap.

Aswan tour ( the temple of philae - high dam )

JanWillem_L, Jan 2026

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... 😉

4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour

Hulya_L, Jan 2026

Best way to see Egypt!

Our ship “Amwaj Livingstone” was one of the best cruise ships on the Nile, full window view from the room. Great service and plenty of delicious meals. Well covered Excursions, generally starting very early in the morning, but absolutely worth it. A good guide makes a lot of difference! The extra trip to Abu Simbel started at 04:00 am and included total of 7 hours car ride. The temple was amazing, but the trip can be tiring. The agent “Egypt Unlimited” was very professionally organized and very helpful. We’d recommend them to anyone coming to Egypt.

Abu Simbel Private Tour From Aswan

Khawar_T, Dec 2025

Amazing place , exquisite view and affable tour guide.

We just had an amazing tour to Abu Simbel from Aswan. We booked a private tour as the group tours start at 4 AM which is too early after a tiring day. The ride was comfortable and driver was polite. We met our charming tour guide Mr. Hany at Abu simbel. To be quite frank his warm nature and humorous style will put even the most reserved introverts at ease. Another thing to know about Hany is that he is an accomplished photographer. He took numerous photos and videos for us and the results were amazing. He also would provide detailed information before hand and give us free time to explore the temples at our own pace. Another aspect I love about this tour guide is he didn’t coerce us to make unnecessary purchases ( which is usually a huge issue in Cairo and Luxor ). So fellow traveler if you are on the fence, please go ahead and book this tour. And enjoy the experience. PS Just realized I forgot the mention , both temples and amazing and must see.

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.
