Aswan day tour - They came to pick me up right before the meeting time It would be difficult for us to go there on our own so having him take us there was very helpful They did their best to explain every thing to us thank you very much

Excellent service and lovely person - We had a wonderful time with Marwa as our guide visiting the tombs of the nobles and Philae temple Marwa was very attentive to our needs and an excellent story teller Her explanations really gave meaning to our experience of these ancient places If youre hesitating whether or not to get a guide I would say Virtue Day tours makes it worth it

Transportation service is... - Transportation service is excellent. The quality of guidance is very good. I've chosen this program on Viator site that I could do this all for US $540. Since then, I have been contacted by the manager who said that the admission fee for three places is not included. After the final approval, it was announced that all admission fees were included in the program I received from Viator. As a result, I paid an additional admission fee other than $540, and I feel the unfairness of the additional cost compared to my experience with Vistor's three products.
