Wonderful trip through Egypt
The trip was very well organised and everything was provided as promised. We had taken a 10 day trip on Egypt including Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor including a Nile river cruise of 3 nights. It was a wonderful experience and very comfortable at every step of the trip.

A Full 5 stars experience!
Mr Khaled from Nile Holiday is a very friendly person and took care of us in all our visit to Egypt, we went on a familiar trip for 5 nights / 6 days and from day one of our trip until last day, he and his team help us with absolutely everything, I heard in the past some excellent recommendations from this company, but being there with Nile Holiday and their awesome team, is a complete exciting experience and I have no words to thanks him for this amazing trip. We were in a lot of places, Giza, Luxor, Aswan, Museums, a lot of temples, markets, we knew a lot about the country and the people, and in every place we felt really safe and happy with the people guiding us through all the travel. I really hope to be back there with my family and, for sure, we will planning the trip with this amazing team from Nile Holiday and specially with Mr Khaled, because we had more than a 5 stars trip, we had a really lifetime experience!! Thanks everyone for attending me and my family on this awesome trip!

Satisfied Nile cruise and tour guide in Egypt
My friend and I used services from Nile Holiday in Luxor for our 3 night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Mr. Khaled, the tour manager was very responsive to our requests. He got us a room on the 3rd floor. Mr. Hesham, the tour guide was at the airport when we arrived at Aswan airport. Hesham has a good sense of humor and provided us great tours to temples and tombs and shared with us knowledge about Egyptian culture and people. The cruise is ( MS travita) is a bit old but staff are great, very friendly and dedicated. Food is ok.

Edfu, Kom Ombo & Aswan Private Day Tour from Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Edfu, Kom Ombo & Aswan Private Day Tour from Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $260 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 Edfu, Kom Ombo & Aswan Private Day Tour from Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 16 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 Edfu, Kom Ombo & Aswan Private Day Tour from Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Edfu, Kom Ombo & Aswan Private Day Tour from Luxor?
+
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 Edfu, Kom Ombo & Aswan Private Day Tour from Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Edfu, Kom Ombo & Aswan Private Day Tour from Luxor?
+
Around 1 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 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Edfu, Kom Ombo & Aswan Private Day Tour from Luxor 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), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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.
