Aswan Private Tour Guides

“If you book, confirm who will actually be guiding you.”

I spent a lot of time researching private tours of Abu Simbel and was excited to book with Ali. Unfortunately, it turned out he doesn’t actually guide the Abu Simbel tours, and we were passed along to someone else, the messaging/language was not clear when Ali & I were chatting. Our driver picked us up at the airport and then handed us off to a man who introduced himself as the “tour guide assistant.” When we asked where our guide was, he just kept telling us to wait and watch a video. We had no idea what was going on. Only after he brought us inside did we see our guide finishing up a tour with another group. We paid one hundred fifty dollars for this, and we still had to buy our own entry tickets and own water (which was not a big deal but still, it's the principles). The guiding itself added nothing beyond the public information we’d already read about the site; it was almost word for word the same. For the price, we would have been better off hiring a taxi from the airport and exploring on our own.

“Abu Simbel”

The drive was worth every second. Ali gave us all of the information needed. He gave us plenty of time to look around unlike tour groups that rushed people thru. The temples were everything I imagined they would be, and more.

I always believe that visiting such an extraordinary place should be a relaxed experience, with plenty of time to appreciate its history, beauty, and details without feeling rushed. It was a real pleasure sharing this experience with you. Thank you for choosing me as your guide in Egypt, and I hope to welcome you back again someday!

“Great guide”

Ali is amazing, very informative and engaging. He takes his time explaining the details and even tested our limited knowledge. Would highly recommend.
