Private 2 Hour Guided...
Private 2 Hour Guided Tour to Philae Temple from Aswan: We took this tour and had a great time. Mary, our tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was great to have her explain the different meanings of the carvings. On our way back, Mary mentioned a free experience about the spice and perfume industry in the city. This ended up just being a perfume and spice store. The sales experience was very cool, but this was all just a sales pitch while the tour guide sat in their phone waiting for us to buy things. We ended up buying stuff, because we felt too guilty not to. Additionally, at the spice store the ladies packaging up the spices ended up giving us much more than we wanted. The price for these were by the pound. On the car ride back the tour guide got very pushy about leaving a review. She wanted a screen shot of it before we left the car, so we were not able to be 100% honest with our first review. Overall, we had a fun time, but, some of it got overshadowed with the unexpected added sales pitch.
Awesome temple
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.

It was hot in April, but the temple was dazzling and in a great location. Ahmed-san guided me around the place even though I didn't understand the language. Thank you very much. Thank you for your transportation.
