The tour was amazing. Our guide Kareem was an experienced and knowledgeable Egyptologist who answered all of our questions and told us lots of very interesting things about the sites we visited. Kareem was an enthusiastic guide and a great photographer. Couldn’t have asked for better. The driver was great and everything went smoothly. The tour is detailed and quite efficient. While driving between sites Kareem told us about the history of the Egyptian dynasties and about the mythology behind the Ancient Egyptian gods, which was very interesting. Highly recommended, you got to see lots of things but didn’t feel like a long day!

I enjoyed the trip with Marwa Galal. She was very thorough in her explanation of the different sites she took us to and the view from the restaurant where we had lunch was like something out of a fairy tale. We enjoyed the different vibes in luxor city .Overall, it was a great day tour of Luxor and I would definitely recommend it.
Tour guide Marwa was quite knowledgeable and was very keen on sharing history. He ensured we were at ease and was eager to answer any questions. He made sure we got enough time for each of the sites. In general the tickets price is quite high for foreigners, so consider that while planning this tour.
We visited the High Dam the Philae Temple and the Obelisk We took a boat ride on the Nile and had lunch It was a very good day Thank you to Vertu Day Tours for working hard with us
This is our second day in Aswan with Virtue Day Tours Yesterday we visited Abu Simbel and today we visited the Temple of Philae the Obelisk and the High Dam I liked their service and I highly recommend them
They came to pick me up right before the meeting time It would be difficult for us to go there on our own so having him take us there was very helpful They did their best to explain every thing to us thank you very much
My fiancee and I really enjoyed this tour Our guide was Marwa who was excellent in taking us around to the various sites within Aswan and giving us the history and culture of each The highlight is definitely the Philae temple which is absolutely beautiful and a "must see" attraction I highly recommend this tour and Marwa as a guide
We had a wonderful time with Marwa as our guide visiting the tombs of the nobles and Philae temple Marwa was very attentive to our needs and an excellent story teller Her explanations really gave meaning to our experience of these ancient places If youre hesitating whether or not to get a guide I would say Virtue Day tours makes it worth it
I joined a private tour to Aswan last Friday Thanks to the guide Mahmud and the driver for their devoted service for my visit to Aswan Samir knows so much about Aswan and was patient to answer my questions taking great photos when I was a lone traveller My friends are jealous that I had a great time in Aswan
Did the Aswan day tour with Dina We had an amazing time as Dina was very knowledgeable and entertaining! Highly recommended!
The Tour was great starting with the organizing before the tour with the operation team "Fatma" was so helpful and helped us to amend some details about the tour and they reconfirmed with us the day before the tour The tour guide "Marwa" she is very educated and knowledable about the places she and the driver were always there at time Over all very proffesional team and the day went great
The guide made sure to stop at Edfu and Komombo temples She explained the details of carvings and history behind the In Aswan the high dam was grand but the visit to filae tower was superb The guide showed me Nubian villages on the way which were quite impressive
Transportation service is excellent. The quality of guidance is very good. I've chosen this program on Viator site that I could do this all for US $540. Since then, I have been contacted by the manager who said that the admission fee for three places is not included. After the final approval, it was announced that all admission fees were included in the program I received from Viator. As a result, I paid an additional admission fee other than $540, and I feel the unfairness of the additional cost compared to my experience with Vistor's three products.
Our Female Guide Mona was knowledgeable and her English was perfect. It was a welcome change to have a female guide to provide an experience that was not as pushy or hard sell on side shops. Mona allowed us to spend more time at Philae Temple and gave us tips on other Aswan attractions and hidden gems. A fantastic experience.
The most memorable point is that we have to wait one hour to start our tour. No one was there at the scheduled pick up time. After multiple calls to the operator, one tour guide eventually shown up.
The tour was amazing - the Dam and the Philae Temple. Thanks a lot to the Guide - Swaleen, very professional and speak very well. I recommend her for sure.
The tour started off very disorganized as they did not have record of our reservation. It was good I called to ask where they were as we got started on the tour around 1 hour late. They didn't give the driver any information about what was included. When we finally arrived at Philae we were told the expense of the ferry was up to us even though the description clearly advised it is included. When we spoke with Marwa she was extremely aggressive/combative and made us feel very uncomfortable ultimately resulting in us only doing the first stop of the tour as we did not feel comfortable to continue. She tried to blame us for their mistake until the issue was escalated and the owner assisted us. Overall Kareem and Ahmed were professional (driver and guide) The overall experience was disappointing and I would not book with this company again. If you purchase be prepared to pay for the boat and hopefully not have to deal with the poor customer service. Also call to confirm they know about the reservation if you don't hear the night before.
