As a French woman traveling alone I asked Daniel for help getting from Luxor to Aswan. I just wanted a drive that would allow me to visit some the Edfou... read more and Kom Ombo.
Daniel provided me with a great driver for a reasonable price. I felt completely secured and fully enjoyed my day ! (Which was not the case for other people I met in Aswan, who paid a higher price and felt so unsecure that they decided not to stop for visits)
I also appreciated that he didn’t try to provide me with a guide since I didn’t ask for one.
Once arrived in Aswan, Daniel granted me with great advice on what to visit and when and was also able to offer other services to visit Philae and Abu Simbel.
I got Daniel’s contact from a couple I met in Luxor, and I would definitely recommend his services to others.
Thank you again !
