Memorable Tour - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The Edfu Temple, Philae Temple, the high dam and the unfinished obelisk were all wonderful and our tour guide and driver were very accommodating.

Great trip to Aswan! - The Reflections Travel day trip to Aswan was our best tour while in Egypt! Barry, our Egyptologist guide, was great—he was well equipped to handle our group’s many questions and tailored the experience to meet our needs and interests. The Edfu and Phila temples, in particular, were breathtaking to visit…some of the best preserved sites we saw while traveling across Egypt. Highly recommend!

Excellent and knowledgable private tour guide - Hany was brilliant. Spent the whole time with us, organised entrance tickets to attractions and gave us detailed explanations about each site. He even organised our transfer to the airport from the hotel. I enjoyed the detailed explanations he gave about the drawings, especially at Karnak temple.

Great guide for an unforgettable experience - Mohamed Awad was a great guide. He made sure we had water. Took us to the main temples in Luxor. He also took us on a boat ride as we wanted to be on the Nile river. He is very knowledgeable about the history. He took his time and explained everything with patience. He had high energy. He took us to a great spot for lunch which had delicious food. He answered all our questions and it was a great experience. We really enjoyed our day with him. Best guide ever!

Fantastic tour! - We had an amazing time and I can recommend this tour. We have seen 2 great tempels (Kom Ombo and Edfu & Esna) which are absolutely fabulous. We departed at 7am from Aswan and arrived in Luxor at about 4pm. Our guide was Mohamed Sayed and I can recommend him as a guide (we had multiple tours with him!). Detailed explanations on the Egyptian art, very good with taking pictures, and he helped us interacting with locals. Our driver was kind and drove in a safe way. The car was clean and comfortable to drive. The best thing about driving from Aswan to Luxor is 1) you see the country side and, 2) you arrive on a different time than all the cruises so the temples are not/way less crowded. Overall, we had a great time and hope you’ll have it as well!

Excellent tour by Roshdy! - Roshdy was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had: he did a great job explaining the history and mythology of all of the various temples including Ko Mambo, Edfu, Philae, Luxor and Karnak and in The Valley of the Kings and Queens. He has great attention to detail and patiently answered the many questions that we had and coordinated excellently with the drivers and others to ensure our jam packed schedule and plans ran smoothly. Roshdy was also able to expertly recommend important highlights that we could not miss during our trip. We would thoroughly recommend him as your tour guide in Luxor, Aswan and the many places in between!

Interesting - Temple of Horus and Philai were worth seeing, but the Aswan dam was not quite honestly, it would have been better if the Temple of Kom Ombo had been included instead. The tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable about the sites and the driver got us there and back safely. It is a long journey there and back.
What we did not appreciate was picking up an unwelcome guest on the outbound journey when we went through one of the police check points. We had paid for that private car. It seemed like the driver was forced to take this guy and we felt we couldn't say no either but we should not have been put in that position.

Travel sightseeing from Luxor to Aswan - The tour was done to the end and all the sites we visited were amazing, but I felt like I couldn't communicate with the Guide and the company.
We communicated beforehand with the 7am meeting, but the driver came at 6am and couldn't eat breakfast slowly. He also says he doesn't know about lunch at an upscale restaurant or the Guide even though the plan includes a yacht, and lunch is served at a £40 Egyptian local fast food restaurant (upscale?). Restaurant??), we were repeatedly asked if the plan really has a yacht (good to have it for the Tripadvisor Team to see)
I was told I would show you the Aswan High Dam, but later I found out that the place I visited was the Old Aswan Dam. I don't know what you mean, but I felt a little cheated, and the other tours I took were great, so I'll use 3 as a comparison.
