Free walking tours in Aswan

Doaa completely exceeded our expectations on our walking tour. She was friendly, knowlegeable, and we saw and did so much! She was completely accommodating to our interests and truly went above and beyond as a guide.By the end we felt as though we had made a new friend. We even made a tik tok video with her for fun😊 Highly highly recommend!!!!

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.

A very nice guide, eager to share insights into daily life, culture and the lives of women in Egypt. It was a wonderful time.

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.

Nice tour. Nice person.

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.

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.
