What to do and see in Aswan, Nile River Valley: The Best Photography Tours
Aswan is more idyllic than other cities in Egypt—located in southern Egypt, it’s a great place to explore that country’s epic history far away from the chaos of Cairo. Take a traditional wooden felucca around Elephantine Island and explore the ruins of the Temple of Khnum.

Truly Egypt was Truly Awful. The owner, Mac, was like an automaton in our group greeting. He didn't even let us introduce ourselves to one another until I asked him to do so. He was about 2 minutes into his spiel when already he was talking about the importance of tips. At the end he said he'd be available to us via call phone 24/7. I subsequently called him twice and got no reply. Our guide Ayman knew little and could care less. He pushed us constantly for more money in tips. Speaking of money, my brochure and that of another party mentioned nothing about all the museum and temple fees we had to pay for even though these stops were part of the standard tour - not an extra. However, Mac showed us on his cell phone that the disclaimer was in the brochure and subsequently when I went to check, there it was. Magic! Without any warning they switched my schedule so I had to get up at 3:30 in the morning two mornings in a row instead of the original schedule in which I had a normal waking day in between. The only reason I'm not giving it a one star rating is b/c I had a good time with my fellow group members and the cruise on the Nile was nice. But we could have gotten so much more out of the temple visits; sometimes I listened in to another guide for info. I haven't even told you about how they cashed my tour payment and then told me I owed them hundreds more for a single supplement which the brochure explicitly said they didn't charge. (One of the reasons I chose them) Mac was unrelenting until I complained to TourRadar who then put pressure on Truly Egypt to let me on the tour without the single supplement. I should have known then that they'd be horrible. Again at the end of the trip they were not going to refund money for the cancelled Hot Air Balloon ride until I complained to TourRadar. DO NOT BOOK WITH TRULY EGYPT

The best part of my tour was my guide, Yasser. He is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable and made the whole tour a really memorable experience for me. He took a lot of photos at the pyramids and the Great Sphinx, explained the history behind each monument in great detail, and answered all of my questions fully and satisfactorily. I thoroughly enjoyed his company, his knowledge of Egyptian history, and his kind and compassionate demeanor. Overall, I made lifetime memories on this tour and all the credit goes to Yasser. I highly recommend this tour and Yasser as your guide!
