• 5Great experience! The...

  Great experience! The driver was very friendly and nice and so as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the temples. Both temples were amazing and we really enjoyed it.

• 5Great driver

  We had an excellent driver. The guides that we met at the Kom Ombo and Edfu were good. It was a big day and we didn't get our "lunch" until the end of the tour at about 5.30pm but that seems to be usual in our experience having done some other tours. It was a good way to see things on the way from Aswan to Luxor.

• 2You shouldn't expect a good guide or drive.

  We felt it was not worth the price we paid. The trip advisor page says that this is a private guided tour. But only a car was private. There was no private guide for us. We met a guide just in front of each spot. It means guides changed at every sightseeing spot. Sometimes we had to take a guide with other people. And their explanations were not that good or kind. Moreover, the car driver was also not good. He didn't understand English at all and lost the way to Luxor. Finally, I had to show Google Maps on my phone. Can you believe it? I had thought the price of this tour was a bit expensive and had expected a much better one than it really was.

• 5Best tour so far in Egypt - highly recommend!

  We had a great time and learned a lot from this tour- our guide Magdi was very knowledgable and he was very passionate about explaining the stories and history behind the temples (unlike some other guides we've had), and this made all the difference. He even offered us falafels (which were the best we've had)!

About Aswan

Aswan is Egypt's serene southern city on the Nile, where feluccas glide between granite islands, Nubian villages and palm-fringed riverbanks.

The Nile is at its most beautiful here, broken by granite boulders and green islands. Elephantine Island holds ruins of ancient temples and colourful Nubian villages, Kitchener's Island is covered by a botanical garden, and on the west bank the Tombs of the Nobles are cut into the cliffs of Qubbet el-Hawa, while the domed Mausoleum of the Aga Khan stands on a desert hill further south.
