You should not miss that!
I don’t know where to start… Our driver, Mostaffa, was excellent! He mastered the sandy roads around our hotel like a champ and proved his driving skills throughout the day. And then there was our lovely guide, Asmaa. Her knowledge truly impressed us, and her kindness touched us. As for the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu — their beauty is simply unforgettable. Seeing these incredible places in person is an experience in itself. Our family of four is very grateful to Mostaffa and Asmaa. They truly made our day and turned this visit into a wonderful family memory!

Most accommodating company around! Wow!
Awesome driver and great guides. Great experience. Super sites and history. Driver was punctual, professional and super accommodating for our group of six. He went above and beyond for us on this long drive. Office staff was exceptional and communication was top notch. They went well above the call of duty to help us recover a passport left behind at the hotel. And they wouldn't take a dime for the efforts!! Unheard of!! Highly recommend these guys in Luxor or Aswan!! They went above and beyond for us and were the utmost professionals!!

Smooth, efficient journey, very happy
Nice, smooth journey, driver was on time, good safe driving, pleasant demeanor, driver made a stop for us that wasn't on the schedule which was very helpful.

Very nice trip with Omar
Great trip! Omar, our driver, was very accommodating about the departure time. Then he waited for us without hesitation because we were late (boat itself late). He gave us breakfast. Which was particularly nice! Then he accompanied us to the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu. The car is very comfortable. We can only recommend this Service!
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre aimable commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez passé un excellent voyage avec Omar et que vous avez apprécié le confort ainsi que la qualité de notre service.

Aswan to Luxor Private Tour via Edfu | Guide and Tickets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Aswan to Luxor Private Tour via Edfu | Guide and Tickets cost?
+
Prices start at $225 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Aswan to Luxor Private Tour via Edfu | Guide and Tickets take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Aswan is not rushed.
Is Aswan to Luxor Private Tour via Edfu | Guide and Tickets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aswan to Luxor Private Tour via Edfu | Guide and Tickets?
+
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 to Luxor Private Tour via Edfu | Guide and Tickets suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Aswan to Luxor Private Tour via Edfu | Guide and Tickets?
+
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 Aswan 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 Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aswan to Luxor Private Tour via Edfu | Guide and Tickets 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 Aswan 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 Aswan?
+
On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure. 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 Aswan?
+
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 Aswan?
+
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.
