Dina Mohamed-Aly2023-12-30Aswan/Luxor travel experience Ali Voyage helped arrange my trip to Kom Ombo and Edfu temples at the last minute when I was in Aswan. I had a great time and I'm glad I got to go after all. The driver was professional, considerate, and friendly and we had a good time during the long drive to the temples and back before my flight home. Mr. Ali really cares about your experience and happiness in Egypt and he will go to great lengths to help you make the most of your stay! He was flexible with my schedule and helped to accomodate my needs even as my itinerary was changing! He called to check in during my trip and after as well to get feedback on my experience, showing excellent customer service. You will not regret booking an experience with Ali Voyage. I booked my trip on their website and he told me they are working on updating their system to make credit card payments possible on their website which is surely going to make it even more accessible to travellers. Thank you Ali Voyage! I recommend this travel agency 👍 👍 PS - I recommend getting a private car for the temples so you can avoid the massive crowds from the group tours and cruises.
