Free walking tours in Aswan

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.

Bola has been a great guide. He has customized the tour as per our preferences and it has become a great experience. We highly recommend him, just think about what you want to see or let him surprise you!

Bola es como tener un familiar en Egipto. Muy dispuesto a que tengas la mejor experiencia y resuelto ante las adversidades.

I had the luck of getting to know Aswan with the help of an exceptional guide. From the beginning, I felt safe and confident in his company. He showed me incredible places that not everyone knows, and helped me discover the authentic Egyptian culture. What I liked most about this tour was the opportunity to interact with the local people. My guide introduced me to his friends and family, and helped me understand the Egyptian customs and traditions better. Additionally, my guide was very kind and willing to help me with everything I needed. He gave me practical advice on how to move around the city, how to take the bus, and which places to visit. In short, this was an unforgettable experience that allowed me to discover the authentic Aswan. If you're looking for a reliable and passionate guide, don't hesitate to choose this guide. I guarantee you won't regret it!

Our tour with Bola in Aswan was fantastic. It’s a great tour to learn about the local culture (egyptian and nubian). Due to low season, Bola was able to customize our tour to our needs and interests. We visited the High dam, went shopping at the local city market in the evening where a lot of the local people shop (not just tourists!) Bola helped us negotiate good prices making our shopping experience pleasant and with minimum hussle from sellers. For our kids the most fun was to go swimming and visit crocodiles in the numbian village. Aswan was both a cultural experience and a relaxing time for us thanks to Bola. If you want Instagram photos, Bola knows them all. We did visit the Philae temple, but in my opinion, it was 1 temple too much after our historical binge of temples in Luxor with an egyptologist. I highly recommend a tour with Bola.
