The highlight of this tour is the Philae Temple. Definitely not worth the price they charge you to get you there by boat and it is likely why they add other activities like the Aswan dam and the unfinished Obelisk. The Philae Temple is really nice to visit, and paying 300 Egyptian Pound per adult is good value but this not included in your ticket.
I also felt we were squeezed tight in sedan car with no water provided (especially in the summer when it is 35 Celcius or 100 Fahrenheit). Water was included in the e package but we didn’t get any. When we got in the car, the guide and driver had water but nothing for the guess, I find that rude.
The guide Aida offered other optional activities like the Nubian village (extra charges) and the spice discovery which I felt were of no interest and more tourist traps.
I suggest you pick a tour specifically for Philae Temple and save money and time.

Philae temple is spectacular, unfinished obelisk is really fascinating and the dam brings out lots of interesting social and political background to its construction.
Michael our guide was knowledgeable and articulate and super-helpful with ticket purchases and boat hire. A very enjoyable afternoon and would highly recommend both the various sites we visited and the team who really brought it to life for us.

My tour with Magda was excellent, he started telling me about the history of Egypt and High Dam etc from the start of our trip and continued telling me such interesting facts, not only about the places we were to visit on our tour but also answered any questions I had. He made the trip enjoyable and brought the ancient treasures of Egypt alive.

Part of a fantastic trip along the immortal Nile. Our guide "Big Mac" or "Magdy" was knowledgable about all sites and aspects, very punctual, flexible and a great company. He gave as much information and time on its site as we desired. At the same time he also" received lectures" in Greek Ancient History :) The time we spent with him was interesting and fun. We would love to get back !

Fantastic day trip to Abu Simbel. Our guide “Big Mac” was knowledgeable, attentive and very good company. It was a memorable trip made all the better by BM and his great sense of humour ( he insisted on calling us Big Boss and My Queen- what’s not to like!). Highly recommended.

Wonderful day. Aida was a fabulous tour guide, very knowledgeable and good fun. Gave us the option to add on a Nubian village tour and to see some Aswan perfume and spice merchants, all of which were very much enjoyed
