Recommended!! - The tour guide and the driver picked us up on time and straight ahead to the temples. The guide explained the history of Egypt during our way to the temples. He has tons of knowledge about Egypt and he even answered all our questions. We felt like we have been taken thru the time from the ancient egypt to the colonial era of greek roman era. Only in temple of Horus in Edfu, we encountered many people. So crowded. But still enjoyable and we could listen to the guide explanations very well. The road is bad like other reviewers said, but not all. Only some of the roads. The rest was the highway with good condition and straight away, so we did not feel struggling on our way. Because the road is quite long, the driver need a break to smoke and stretch his leg. We started at 6AM and finished around 3PM. It was worthy. The only additional ticket you need to pay is the boat to philae temple. It costed 500 EGP for 2 of us. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to visit the must visited temples from luxor to aswan without cruise. They dropped me off at our hotel in aswan safe and sound. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best Egyptian history tour from Luxor towards Aswan - This was the second day of our tour with Ahmed. Great. The first day was a tour of Luxsor, and after the second day we wanted to go to Aswan and Abu Sinbel, so we had a one-way tour towards Aswan where we would be taken to our hotel. (I'm sure it's a tour until I get back to Luxor, but it's been a great help to have this area adjusted nicely.) It's a lovely tour, just like day one. History knowledge and explanations in plain English are essential to travel, but Ahmed is of course perfect for that too!! We started early in the morning (6am-7pm) as it takes a long time to get from Luxsor towards Aswan, but they were very accommodating and prepared tea and snacks along the way. Also, there were times when I needed some cash (pounds), but I couldn't get money out of an ATM well. Ahmed paid for it for me, and it was amazing how he did exactly what he said on the first day: "I will do my best to make it the best trip I can." In the end, they looked into the hotel I would be staying at in Aswan and linked up with the hotel to pick me up and drop me off at a nearby dock. Of course, they also checked the price so there was no such thing as a purse snatch. (That dock cost £10.) I have a lifetime of memories of you supporting me on this wonderful journey right up to the end. Thank you.

とても充実したツアーでした! Exciting tour with good guide! - ガイド兼オーナーのAhmedがナイスガイで、案内も丁寧で解説も面白く、充実したルクソール→アスワンへの移動になりました。基本的にエジプト観光でナイルを遡っていく場合、ナイルクルーズか、飛行機か、あるいはコスパで鉄道かが多いのかなと思いますが、もし1日かけられるのならばルクソール→アスワンは観光ツアーおすすめです! The tour guide and owner, Ahmed, was a nice guy, and he gave me a very thorough and interesting explanation of the sights as I travelled from Luxor to Aswan. Basically, if you're going to travel up the Nile on a sightseeing trip in Egypt, you'll probably choose between a Nile cruise, a plane, or a train for the best value, but if you have a day to spare, I recommend the sightseeing tour from Luxor to Aswan!

Wonderful day on the way from Luxor to Aswan - My tour Ahmed picked me up perfectly on time and provided me with his professional driver a wonderful and super interesting day visiting numerous cultural and historical highlights. Ahmed has a vast knowledge of Egypt’s history and the visited sights and taught me a lot in an charming and entertaining way. On top he organised local snacks and water.

Efficient and recommended plan to see the highlights on the move Also helpful is the guide who is recommended for solo travel - I took a tour to see three temples and the Aswan High Dam while traveling from Luxor to Aswan in one day. I think it is a very efficient and good plan for those who want to see the highlights between Luxor and Aswan even if they can't get a cruise ship date. As other people have said, Ahmed Emam was a very kind and attentive guide. They lectured me on each site in easy-to-understand English and made free time to take pictures after the explanation, which made the tour comfortable even for me traveling alone.

An unforgettable and comfortable journey - I went with the driver and our guide Ahmed Eman . The same person had shown us the day before, but we left at 6am and drove about two hours to Edfu. Compared to the temples in Luxor, it is much less crowded and I feel we had a special time. Further down to Kom Ombo. On the way we had a great time talking about Egypt with our guide. However, they kept a reasonable distance between us, which was very comfortable. They divided their time between explaining and taking pictures, so I really enjoyed it. The purpose of our trip was to visit the ruins, so we cancelled the high dam and had the opportunity to ride the Farooqa in Aswan. This kind of flexibility is also a good thing about private tours. It was also reliable that the guides understood the purpose of our trip. After that, they also told us what to recommend for dinner, which is delicious again! It felt the best in Egypt 😍 I’m not flattering, I’m looking forward to seeing the guide again! Thank you for the wonderful time 🙇

We really enjoyed the... - We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Mohammed Hassani was knowledgeable and ensured the day was tailored to our needs. It’s a long journey and ticket prices extra so not a reasonable cost. Each places is 750 entry each. You also need cash for the boat . We paid 500 Egy for two of us. The time is unrealistic to do the tours fully and lunch it would be 13 hours. We skipped lunch to get back earlier. Also be aware the road from Aswan to kom Ombo Is in a very bad state and there are no rest room facilities for 2.5 hours. But we would still highly recommend the tour and this company.
