We used Aswan Individual for all our logistics in Cairo and Luxor, moving from place to place by minivan which takes a ton of stress of the trip, the guides, Nile River Cruise, ATV’s (quad), hot air balloon, etc. From the beginning Rachel was excellent in helping shape our itinerary. Updating and revising as I researched and asked for parts to be added or removed. With two teenagers we wanted to go “lite” the hours spent in some of the museums and the number of pyramids, etc. It was unconventional to pay in cash, and not at the beginning of the tour. I had read other trip advisor reviews suggesting it worked fine, and it did for us as well. Easy. We had already done all of the Cairo tours and were in Luxor (by train) before we paid, but it worked great and just as they laid out in the advanced communications. As our trip concluded the coronavirus scare was setting in. Although Egypt is not, at least at the time of this writing, a high risk country, they closed air travel and it was a bit of a scramble to get out. Almost literally the last flight out. The entire time Waleed would respond in under a minute, working logistics and even thinking about back up plans if our flights unexpectedly canceled. Based on our experience, which was under particularly stressful circumstances not only for us but for Waleed and everyone in his country, they were exceptional and I would highly recommend them.
One note, the ATV (quad) tour outside of Cairo was “sketchy”, in how some would measure it, but it was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. The teenage kids loved it and we did as well. You see the back alleys of Cairo, that’s for sure, and it’s eye opening, adventuresome, and fun.
We brought US cash but the hotel ATM’s worked as well as they do at home and they dispensed small bills in Egyptian pounds, which is excellent for tipping.
Highly recommended Aswan Individual and the guides they arranged Hanie in Luxor, Hackman in Cairo, Hysman “H” for Giza/pyramids museums, etc.

Best trip ever! Visited Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel in 3 days! Never felt rushed or herded like I have in bus or van tours. Private driver and guide. A tour representative met me any time I was changing drivers or guides for a new city. It felt like traveling with family. If I had any questions outside of touring time someone was always available to contact.
They worked with me to create my itinerary and then even personalized it more when I was there. Many things were shared along the way also- like pointing out how Egyptian life was going on and other smaller sites and landmarks as we drove by. Guides were so knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and really brought the tombs and temples to life for me. Had some laughs, great conversations when I wanted them and also quiet times....like family. They helped me to connect with both Ancient and present day Egypt and I fell in love with Egypt!
I’m a beekeeper and they arranged for me to see Pabasa Tomb. A must see if you revere the honeybee or agriculture.
They even found a local beekeeper for me to visit!
I cannot say enough good things about Aswan-Individual tours! Talk with them, you’ll be so glad you did!
Thank you Aswan-Individual for wonderful memories of a lifetime! Please keep doing what you’re doing!

There are very few guests who teach me knew and exciting sites or carvings here in Egypt. It was our immense pleasure to participate in your excitement for Pabasa Tomb and it was our pleasure to try and give you a beekeeping experience during your time here. Thank you for trusting us with your tours and we hope to meet you again in the future.

Rachel was polite, professional, and incredibly fast with responses when coordinating our program. She and Waleed helped us customize our tour from Aswan to Luxor, which I selected from the Aswan Individual site. We had one guide for a tour of Aswan and then solely a driver to Luxor with several temples along the way. The guide was wonderful and spoke impeccable English. The van was large and provided a great amount of space for our party.
When we got to Luxor, we were surprised that an affiliated tour company took care of us. There were two disadvantages to this different company. The first was that the guide that was hired for Luxor was very unprofessional. He rushed us at the sites and then offered to take us to "get tea and see how they make traditional clothing." We knew that this meant shopping and were not interested, at least the sites were the main priority. The guide also did not know which sites were on the itinerary, so I had to be wary and ensure that we saw everything we were supposed to. The guide was disappointing and I let Waleed and Rachel know right away. They immediately apologized and offered to change the guide. Ultimately we were able to see all of the sites we were meant to, so the day was not a complete loss. The company compensated us for the guide fee, and the next day we had a different guide who was wonderful.
The other disadvantage was that according to Aswan Individual's policy, groups of 3 or more have to reserve a van. This actually worked out well because my friends and I could spread out and be comfortable, especially for long drives. The affiliate company picked us up in an SUV. The SUV was fine but we felt a bit stinted that we had to pay extra for a van. The company compensated us for that as well.
Overall, I would highly recommend this company and its services. The prices are very reasonable and Egypt was one of the best trips of my life. If you are unhappy with anything, contact Waleed or Rachel and they will sort it out. Also keep in mind that we did not really have time to eat lunch on the tours. We brought food mainly. This was fine by us because we wanted to pack as many sites in the day as possible. But at the end of the day we were starving. Egypt is amazing!

Thank you for this honest review.
The government here in Egypt has very strict rules on how many guests are allowed to travel in specific vehicles. It is not something we can change - since the government will simply not issue the required permissions for certain trips if the number of guests exceed their rules.
It was rare to find an SUV in Luxor so it was not something we expected to happen. Since you were here on one of the busiest weeks of the year - the microbuses were basically all booked out for larger groups so our Luxor representative took the liberty of getting an SUV for your group rather than a microbus. We are so thrilled you took the time to let us know.
It is always best to contact us immediately as you did. It is not easy finding the perfect guiding style for each guest. Sometimes a change is needed and we are ore than happy to arrange them. You did exactly what we asked and for that we were able to make fast corrections. We thank you for this,

Terrific company. Well organized, precise and reliable. I have contacted some 4-5 companies before choosing Aswan Individual and the prices were about the same. So I chose the company with better ratings and evidently it turned out to be a good decision.
They provided me with services on four different occasions for:
a) a day trip to Dendera and Abydos from Luxor;
b) a day trip from Luxor to Aswan visiting temples in Esna, Edfu, and Qom Ombo along the way;
c) a day trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan;
d) a ride from my hotel to the airport in Aswan.
Initially I planned to use their services for travel from Cairo to Luxor as well, but Rachel got in contact with people in Asyut and advised me against going thru that particular area due to security concerns. Rachel was just great submitting a detailed spreadsheet of the itinerary, answering every question whether directly related to our deal or to Egypt overall, such as hotels, food, museums and sites, etc. On the ground, a company rep appeared before the beginning of every trip to make sure everything is going according to the schedule no matter how early it was (the take-off to Abu Simbel was at 5 am and Waed was waiting for me in the hotel’s lobby at 4:50). They provided nice cars with good drivers without any time limitation for sightseeing and showing utmost flexibility by driving me to the airport earlier when I decided to change my flight from Aswan to Cairo. Communications lines via phone, texting, and email were open 24/7 with either Rachel, Waleed, or Waed available at any moment and getting back to you within minutes.
Definitely a 5-star agency.

It was such a pleasure having earned your trust and providing your services needed while visiting Egypt. Rachel enjoyed your email conversations and we know you were looking forward to visiting our country. Hopefully next time our paths cross we will be able to sit down and enjoy a tea, coffee or meal. You were an absolute pleasure.

A complete lifesaver! I had booked a trip to Egypt for my birthday and last minute ( I'm talking 3 days prior to my departure), my 92-year old grandmother and mom decided to join me. I had somehow stumbled upon Waleed and Rachel's website and decided to email them. Not only did they expeditiously respond to my email but they were able to accommodate most of the plans I had in my itinerary (which was quite arduous). Within 24 hours, Rachel was able to arrange a private driver and a local egyptologist for my family and I per my itinerary.
Although Waleed and Rachel's company is conducted out of Aswan, they both took the time and went out of their way to help me with my travel arrangements outside of their designated scope of business, including Luxor, Dendara, and Cairo.
If you plan on going to Egypt, I highly recommend Rachel and Waleed! I cannot thank them enough! They truly helped create an enjoyable and memorable experience for my family and I!
In addition, I would like to also give a special shout out and thank Waleed's brother, Wael as well as our favorite guide Medhat. They truly went out of their way to help us with every single issue we faced during our trip and really changed our trip from great to unforgettable! Wael went out of his way and even surprised me with a really beautiful birthday cake.
Medhat was one of our guides in Aswan and almost immediately, became like family. He is very intelligent, professional and highly knowledgeable in every subject. My family and I even forced him to accompany us to Luxor because we did not want to part with him. He truly made our trip! We cannot wait to visit Egypt again! Thank you!

We had the most fantastic experience with Aswan Individual and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Prior to travelling around the area I communicated with Rachel so many times via email. I might not be the easiest traveller and no matter how many questions I had, Rachel was happy to help. Among others our program included visiting the pyramids in Cairo (guided), visiting Abu simbel and a felluca ride in Aswan, guided tours in luxor plus transfers between aswan and luxor and luxor and hurghada.
Once in Aswan we were greeted by Waleed who was friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our 10 day trip went well. He even came to meet us at our hotel for a very early day trip just to ensure we were comfortable with the itinerary and introduce us to our driver.... first class.
All of the excursions planned, guides and drivers were well organised and planned to perfection. Even when we wanted to make changes to the itinerary on short notice it wasn't an issue.
Thank you Rachel and Waleed you both definitely made our trip.

Aswan Individual is consistently the best customer service organization I have encountered in all my travels. Their communication is thorough & prompt, their knowledge & experience is superb, and their personal attention to detail creates a trip that works best for YOU, rather than just going along on bulky group tours that don't fit your schedule. I sent Rachel & Waleed some general notes on the kinds of things I wanted to see, things that were important to me, and things I wanted to avoid, and they assembled a personalized trip plan with individual guided tours in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan & Abu Simbel. Every guide and driver was courteous & on time. The guides were knowledgeable (Our guide in Luxor was doing his masters in Egyptology, and he gave brilliant & engaging descriptions of the history. He could also read all the hieroglyphs in the temples. ALL of them.
I compared prices of 4 different travel planners, and Aswan Individual was around the same price or a little less, but offered MUCH more flexibility & personalization.
The most important thing was that I was able to rely on Rachel & Waleed when I was in Egypt. They answered my questions when I got confused, made excellent recommendations, accommodated my last-minute adjustments to the schedule, and when I called them from the highway, on my way from Abu Simbel to Luxor to organize a fallucca boat ride, they said, Yes, we can do that! And they had it ready for me when I arrived. They are the epitome of excellent personalized service. Egypt is an exhausting trip to plan & it's exhausting to do on your own. Let Aswan Individual make your life easier & hassle-free with their spectacular planning & guides.

My experience was pretty on par with the other average reviews. I booked a tour of Philae temple, and a 1 day/1 night felucca with transfer to Luxor. Communication from the start was pretty hit or miss. A lot of "I'll send you the invoice and itinerary," doesn't send, I follow up a few days later, "oh I'll send now," itinerary is not correct, I follow up. They asked me 3 times to confirm which car I would be on on the sleeping train so they could meet me on the platform, but when we pulled in, I was the only one whose tour guide wasn't waiting for them. The train was very delayed and they did show up 5 minutes later, but just comparatively, not a great feeling when everyone else's guide is there waiting right outside the car and you're left waiting by yourself.
The felucca was pretty disappointing. The sailing was not as great as I had expected, but honestly more than the sailing, the captain made the experience uncomfortable. He was more interested in talking about writing a positive review and tipping (both which he brought up multiple times) than talking about sailing or even just enjoying the ride.
The tour guide was also not that great. I had booked the guide for my transfer to Luxor, stopping at some Esna, Edfu, and Kom Ombo, but after our Philae tour, I knew spending hours in a car with the guy would not be a great experience and asked to do the tour without a guide. They were very responsive, and asked me if there had been a specific problem with the guide and did not charge me, even though I had asked to book a guide far in advance and offered to pay regardless for canceling on such short notice.
The two drivers they provided (one for my tour of Philae, one for the transfer to Luxor) were superb. Truly great. They were both very professional, good drivers, courteous, and just seemed like good people.
In hindsight, I wish I had booked an afternoon hour or two on a felucca and a driver to take me to Luxor. I found it more interesting to drive through small villages on the way anyway. Both drivers did not speak English (and I wasn't expecting them to), but as mentioned, they were both great, and Lonely planet and a driver are all you need to have a quality experience.

I am sorry you found your experience average. In seven years of emailing there has never been a complaint on communication. The reason for the multiple emails was because there were missing details we needed from you and she sent multiple reminders. I went back and asked to see all communications since all emails are stored for these exact reasons.
Yes - our representative did need to step outside of the train station after waiting over 90 minutes on the platform (late arrival) and deal with a very quick matter near by as we were very busy and had multiple clients on your particular day of arrival. This was unfortunate but the trains are often very late and having a representative standing for multiple hours on a platform would be great if we had many representatives. In the busy times - we are often dealing with up to 10 other guests each morning. The representatives ask the train station for help with estimated arrival time if they need to step out briefly.
Felucca trips are usually some of the most talked about adventures. We have spoken to the captain about your experience and requested that they not ask for tipping or reviews. Normally the felucca captains don't ask for reviews so we were having a hard time getting him to admit this is something he did.
Guides have personalities just like visitors do. We try our best to find a "good fit" for the client but if for any reason a particular guide doesn't gel with the clients expectations we can immediately fix the issue and bring another guide. We were happy to refund the guide fee since you preferred to go without.
Drivers in Upper Egypt especially have limited English skills. They are not as educated in foreign language studies as guides obviously but we are happy you enjoyed your time with them. Our goal always is to have safe drivers first and foremost.
We hope you were able to return home with some great memories of your time here in Egypt.

Rachel is outstanding!!! On the professional side she is very 'professional'. I informed her of the basics we were wanting and she promptly put together a great itinerary which was quite detailed and thought out. She obviously knows what she is doing and cares about providing a great, painless experience. Rachel is amazingly responsive to inquiries. I also found her to be patient as I requested some itinerary changes which were quickly made. On the personal side she is compassionate, thoughtful, considerate and seems to be an extremely nice person.
Unfortunately we had to cut our tour short due to an illness. She showed concern about the situation even after we returned home and made the necessary adjustments without questions.
Truly a pleasant experience with Rachel in all regards.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!

No travel agency in Egypt can touch this one in the terms of price, service, responsiveness and pleasant cooperation. Waleed and Rachel were on our service 24/7 and available for ANY requests, questions and advice for travel in Egypt, whether it was the trips we booked with them such as fellucca ride in Aswan, Abu Simbel, Philae temple, Unfinished obelisk, Aswan dam, temples of Kom Ombo, Edfu, Esna and Luxor temples or advice on transport and travel logistics in other parts of Egypt, even in difficult times of coronavirus pandemic. The advice and answers were provided both before and during our trip. Our driver Hamdy was great and always accommodated all our requests and guide Said was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. All services are very honest and fair and prices best on the market. Save yourself from hassle and book the trip of your lifetime with Aswan Individual. The services are provided not just in Aswan but also Luxor, Cairo and between.

Hello, I would like to make a reservation for your pickup service from Aswan airport with a limousine.
I sent you an e-mail two days ago, but didn't get an answer. Also, sending SMS abroad is unavailable right now. Is there any other way to contact you? (Maybe WhatssApp?)

Mildred, Please go on to the Aswan Individual website an send an email to us from there. We will then respond with a detailed itinerary and other important details for your trip.
In short however a round trip one day transportation service to Abu Simbel for 2 people is $115usd and a trip from Aswan to Luxor with two temple stops (Kom Ombo and Edfu) is also $115usd for 2 people currently.
We look forward to receiving your email and sending you a proper response.

Hello, I wrote you an email one week ago, but didn't get an answer. It was a felucca trip. Is your Website still working? Or do you have a new Website?
Best
