Tito is a great guide and driver. I had a great experience with him. His knowledge of English is sufficient for explaining history and accompanying me. Overall, highly recommended. Good value for money.
Tito is a great guide and driver. He speaks enough English to explain history. It was a good experience. I was picked up and dropped off at my place with no problem. Highly recommend!
Beautiful temple and a wonderful experience in Aswan. Arriving by boat makes the visit feel even more special, and the views from the water are stunning. Our guide Mary was amazing! Knowledgeable, kind, and great at explaining the history in a way that was easy to understand. Philae Temple is absolutely worth visiting.
