    Fantastic tour of Aswan with Omar!

    We had a great experience touring Aswan with our guide Omar for a half day tour. He picked us up directly at the airport and we visited the high dam, Philae temple, and the unfinished Obelisk before dropping off at our hotel. Omar was friendly and informative, giving us very detailed information about each site and their history, and he also took great pictures of us. He also then recommended a sunset felucca tour which a truly amazing experience. This was the perfect introduction to Aswan!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. At Wendy Holidays, we always aim to provide high-quality service and unforgettable experiences, and we’re glad we met your expectations

    Unforgettable Aswan Tour

    I booked this private tour from Luxor to Aswan directly with the tour operator while we were on the Luxor tour. The car ride took about 2.5 hours and we were greeted by Moataz, a native Nubian. He took us to the High Dam and the Aswan (old) Dam. From there we went to the Unfinished Obelisk. We were surprised with a motor boat to the Pheliae Temple on the Nile River. The ride with the breeze felt good under the 100+ degree heat. He shared the history for every site and helped us take memorable photos. We thank you and wish you well in your new chapter in life. All the best. Nice meeting you in Aswan.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. At Wendy Holidays, we always aim to provide high-quality service and unforgettable experiences, and we’re glad we met your expectations

    Great day out as well as a moving us to Aswan

    We had great communication throughout the trip for the organizer Mohamed. The arranged car arrived at the hotel in plenty of time and were warmly welcomed by our two drivers for the day. They were excellent in every way; friendly, polite, trustworthy, enthusiastic. We enjoyed the guided tours, though the two guides spoke a little too fast for us to follow. That was a shame, even though we did ask them to go slower. The car was new. Very smart and driven with care and safely. Our hotel was not easy to find but the guys son worked it out and we arrived as the sun set. I would recommend the tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. At Wendy Holidays, we always aim to provide high-quality service and unforgettable experiences, and we’re glad we met your expectations.

    The chat service was slow and it became a night flight. If you don't check the details of your booking again, unexpected additional costs will be incurred. The guide was very helpful. Reviews are compulsory. good guide!!

    Aswan from Luxor Private Day Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Aswan from Luxor Private Day Tour with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Aswan from Luxor Private Day Tour with Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Aswan from Luxor Private Day Tour with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Aswan from Luxor Private Day Tour with Lunch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Aswan from Luxor Private Day Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Aswan from Luxor Private Day Tour with Lunch?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Aswan from Luxor Private Day Tour with Lunch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Luxor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Luxor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
