We've lived in Egypt for 7 years and absolutely love the place but it's true to say that planning and organisation can leave a lot to be desired. This website - and specifically Petra, Waleed and Sero do a fantastic job of doing exactly what they say they are going to do, at the time they've promised to do it... More

The whole experience till now has been excellent. No problems in pick up or the Abu simple trip. The cruise is looking great and I am hoping that the Luxor day trip is great, too. More

While planning my next trip, I discovered I had not posted a review last time. This is probably because as a repeat visitor I do not need their services so much any more. I have used AI several times and always been happy. Their website is very helpful - it accurately shows some of the many interesting things to see... More

Trip Advisor has never steered me wrong so when I was planning a trip to Egypt I immediately checked the forums to see what people were saying and to my delight I came across someone who talked about Aswan Individual. Well I checked into them and made contact with Petra who like the other reviews mentioned she contacted me back... More

I did several trips. It started with pickup in Luxor and then we went to see Edfu, Gebel el Sil Sila, and Kom Ombo. The guide (Islam Mourad) was very good in fluent English en very enthusiastic with very much good information about the several sightseeings. I also did trips to Philae Temple, High Dam, and Kalabsha temple also with... More

A fantastic site - click in and they will find you anything! Petra always answers quickly and proficiently and the guides are always well informed, on time and helpful! Waleed in Aswan very professional - knowledgable and suggests perfect trips. Above all they run a 'non rip-off policy'! Essential.... Egypt needs the tourists back....everybody is suffering and the country has... More

For our trip to Egypt, my husband and I wanted to organize our time between visiting ancient sites, getting to know the people, and enjoying the unique and beautiful land. It was quite overwhelming to think about planning such a trip, especially since we wanted a more independent trip rather than an organized tour group. I accidently came across “Aswan... More

Aswan Individual provides detailed, honest and clear communications on the services they provide and back it up with top notch services on the ground in Upper Egypt. We highly recommend them. 1. The cruise selected for us (the Amarante) was comfortable for us and the children with good service and good food. 2. Waleed’s personal touch in meeting us every... More

It is the second time we were using Aswan individual. First time just before the revolution we stayed in Luxor and would like to see different things on our own in Aswan/Abu Simpel. That will say, we wanted to have good time to see the different things. Everything was planned via e-mail from our home in France: Petra was a... More
