Free walking tours in Aswan

Such a lovely experience! I really enjoyed the boat ride to the Nubian Village. The views along the Nile were beautiful, and the village was so colorful and interesting to explore. What I enjoyed the most was our host. She was so kind and friendly, and she shared little local stories and details that made the experience feel much more personal. It honestly felt like I was exploring the village with a friend rather than just taking a tour. I loved the relaxed atmosphere, the local houses, and the small shops. Definitely recommend it if you want to experience a different and more local side of Aswan!

Doaa es encantadora, nos encontramos con ella y fuimos caminando hasta el mercado. Enseguida entablas conversación con ella, es súper amigable! Nos acompañó por todo el mercado, comimos dulces, fuimos a una tienda de especias, probamos tameya y té! Nos ayudó a conseguir buenos precios en el mercado. Lo que más nos gustó conocer a Doraa que es una joven maravillosa! Sentimos que ha sido una amiga! Si es cierto que no es un tour de información sobre la ciudad, pero la experiencia es única y muy recomendable 😊 repetiriamos

Une expérience absolument incroyable à Assouan grâce à Doaa ! Dès le premier instant, Doaa a été chaleureuse, attentionnée et très drôle. Son énergie positive a rendu la visite encore plus agréable, et honnêtement, l’expérience a largement dépassé toutes mes attentes. J’ai adoré les jeux et les activités qu’elle avait préparés, qui ont rendu la découverte de la ville encore plus amusante et interactive. Plus qu’une simple visite, c’était une véritable immersion dans la culture égyptienne. Doaa partage avec passion ses connaissances, ses anecdotes et les traditions locales. J’ai particulièrement apprécié le fait qu’elle m’ait accompagnée dans les marchés et les boutiques d’épices, en veillant toujours à ce que j’achète des produits authentiques et de bonne qualité, sans être surfacturée ni victime d’arnaques. Je me suis sentie en confiance tout au long de la visite. Si vous visitez Assouan, je vous recommande vivement de réserver une visite avec Doaa. C’est une personne exceptionnelle qui transforme une simple excursion en un souvenir inoubliable. Merci encore pour cette magnifique expérience !

This tour was one of the highlights of my trip! Doaa is such a warm and kind person — she made me feel completely comfortable from the first moment. We walked through local bazaars, talked about Egyptian culture, traditions, and everyday life. It felt very genuine and personal, not like a typical tour. The café stop was beautiful, and trying a traditional drink while chatting with her was such a lovely moment. I truly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Aswan 💛

Even though I didn’t end up doing the exact tour described, Turqui spent practically the entire afternoon with me — on a public holiday, during Easter in Egypt — which I truly appreciated. He was incredibly kind and supportive throughout the day. He helped me with translations and even assisted me in communicating with my driver coming from Luxor, who didn’t speak English and wasn’t a guide. That made a huge difference and showed how genuinely helpful he is. I found him to be a very interesting person, with a lot of knowledge and a real passion for his city. He truly enjoys where he lives and has so much to share. I’d also love to meet his Colombian-Spanish girlfriend someday! I definitely hope to see him again, maybe when he travels to Madrid, or somewhere else in the world — whether in Luxor, Hurghada, Aswan, or beyond. Thank you so much, Turqui, for everything. I wish you all the best meeting more people from around the world and continuing to share your deep knowledge of your region!

If you’re looking for an authentic local experience in Aswan, this is the perfect tour. Doaa offers a unique insight into Egyptian culture through visits to real local bazaars, storytelling, and cultural discussions. The experience is well-organized yet flexible, and she creates a very welcoming atmosphere. The highlight for me was the café stop and learning about local traditions in such a natural way. Highly recommended for travelers who want more than just sightseeing.

I really enjoyed this tour with Doaa. It felt very natural and easy, not like a typical guided tour. We walked through local bazaars, talked about everyday life in Egypt, and she shared many interesting stories along the way. I liked that nothing felt rushed. We also stopped at a small café, which was a nice break and a good chance to experience something local. Doaa is friendly and easy to talk to, and the whole experience felt genuine.

Doing this tour with Torki was like visiting your Egyptian friend where they took you around and helped you figure out local logistics. If you're looking for more security, comfort and a casual tour then this is the tour for you. If you want a historical, informative tour for each site you want to visit then this may not be the tour for you as his knowledge is not very extensive. However, it was a good tour for what it was and he carried us to a party in the Nubian village in Aswan which was definitely a highlight for us. He also helped us figure out local transport and stayed with us to make sure we were safe. If you want to make friends and have a morw relaxed experience while on your trip, then book Torki.

Bola gave an excellent tour! He took us around Aswan, took us to Abu Simbel temple, Nubian Village and we swam in the Nile! He introduced me and my girlfriend to his family and we had dinner with them! Would very much recommend using him as a tour guide

A wonderful experience in Aswan. The tour of the spice market and bazaar was authentic and very interesting, and discussing Egyptian culture made it even more special. She was very punctual and attentive from the start, and was incredibly kind to accompany me to the train station to make sure I caught the right train to Luxor. A friendly, professional, and kind-hearted guide. Highly recommended!

The tour was the perfect break from historical sites. Unlike the typical history heavy tours, she focuses on the heartbeat of the city the people, the culture, and the local traditions. She is the perfect local friend to guide you through the bazaar if you are looking to shop for authentic spices, crafts etc... without the stress. I loved the tea break and her genuine culture sharing along the way. Highly recommended for a relaxed, authentic experience!

Doaa is a local and very nice lady passionate for her city Aswan. We went with her through the market. She told us about the history of the market and the Egyptian traditions like when the market is full after Ramadan or which kind of things Egyptians do. She took us to several shops, we told her in which products we were interested in and she helped us finding good offers. We also had a tea with her at the end and we could learn more about her and life in Egypt. If you are interested in going through the market and learn about the local life this is the tour for you.

I reached out to Torki looking for a local guide to organize my trip to Abu simbel. He took care of everything and made sure that I paid local prices with all transparency. Torki is not just a guide who can take you to monuments but he can be your local friend who can take you eat like a local, and if you want shop for clothes and spices don't worry he can guide you through Aswan market. FYI I speak Arabic and Egyptian with ease I wasn't obligated to take a guide but with Torki it was too easy felt like I visited a cousin.
