The guide was excellent - The shuttle service makes it easy to get around. The guide gave a thorough and easy-to-understand explanation. We had plenty of time to look around the temples and had a wonderful time. Thank you so much to the guide and driver.

Had a 5 star trip and experience - Again we had a fantastic day together with Ibrahim, our knowledgable guide who organized everything perfect for us and very good driver Ali who drove very carefully over ramps becouse he took my bad lower back into consideration. We were able to book an extra stop at Esna temple; so glad we did. We both liked that one the best. But also Edfu and Kom Ombo are both beautifull temple and worth visiting It was a long day and we drove a long time between the sites and back to Luxor (over the new desert highway) but it was worth every minute. We highly recommand both this trip and our guide and driver to everybody. They are good peoplethat arrange everything, tell you all you what you want to know about the sites and Egypt and are fun to be with. Very satisfied.

Excellent guide, and intresting temples! - Of all the guided booked tour, this was maybe the best one. Explanations were intresting, and our guide was available to answer our questions. He also bought for us some local fruits. As for the trip itself, we already knew we had many hours driving to go visiting this temples from Luxor, so you realize you spend most of the day traveling. But it's ok, as we couldn't plan to go to Aswan, which I would recommend if you have more days. P. S. Our guide tried to convince us to replace Kom Ombo temple with a other temple in Luxor. We said no, that we wanted to do what we planned. Of course, this would have been a more convenient option for him (shorter trip, same price), but stick with your plan. Secondly, all guides in Egypt will try to bring you to a shop where they sell "true" artisanal stuff... Well avoid it, the price is four times what you can find elsewhere.

Long but worth it. - Comfortable Mistubushi Expander car, on time pick up. Only suggestion to operators is schedule it at 6am, not 8am because the journey is long and tiring, and to be completed before evening 6pm. Lunch provided was in a very basic restaurant, not good quality.Guide could be more interactive.

The temples are wonderful... - The temples are wonderful and worth seeing in my opinion (I wouldn't say that they are a must see though). Bear in mind that there is a loooot of driving on that day- the driver was quite good and it was fun observing the landscape/ppl from the car and getting to know the country a bit more, but by the end of the day you will be knackered. in terms of the guides- the one for Edfu temple was OK but his English could have been a tad better, the English of the guide for Kom Ombo was quite good.

Don't think was worth the time - It says that is 4 hours per temple, of course it's not that much. Is 8 hours of journey by car. For each temple, the guide will give you an explanation of 10-15 min and will give you other 15 minutes to see it by yourself. The temples of Edfu is pretty big, of course is not enough time (the guide was really nice and gave me my time, but of course, you will be behind the schedule, we arrived near 2 hours late). The temples were really beautiful (not too extraordinary, if you don't have too much time, you can skip them) but next time I will visit them on another way.

Historic, impressive... but there are other sites that far outshine this place... - Less crowds than at the pyramids, Karnak or Luxor Temple. But that being said the temples are all somewhat similar. Different periods, different emphases, different gods, but in the end somewhat similar. So would skip or do a select few only...

Not worth the effort - The driver was not very honest. Got very little time to see Edfu. Kom Ombu is not worth the trip. The drive to Aswan was very uncomfortable.
