Great experience! The...
Great experience! The driver was very friendly and nice and so as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the temples. Both temples were amazing and we really enjoyed it.

A must see
Amazing to see in person I took so many pictures and videos. Trip of a lifetime. Don't miss this sight when visiting Egypt

Great driver
We had an excellent driver. The guides that we met at the Kom Ombo and Edfu were good. It was a big day and we didn't get our "lunch" until the end of the tour at about 5.30pm but that seems to be usual in our experience having done some other tours. It was a good way to see things on the way from Aswan to Luxor.

Tour of Ashwan
We took private trip with Samir Gabor to visit ancient sites. He is an excellent guide. Speaks very good English. He takes very good care of you. Always felt safe. He is very knowledgeable.

You shouldn't expect a good guide or drive.
We felt it was not worth the price we paid. The trip advisor page says that this is a private guided tour. But only a car was private. There was no private guide for us. We met a guide just in front of each spot. It means guides changed at every sightseeing spot. Sometimes we had to take a guide with other people. And their explanations were not that good or kind. Moreover, the car driver was also not good. He didn't understand English at all and lost the way to Luxor. Finally, I had to show Google Maps on my phone. Can you believe it? I had thought the price of this tour was a bit expensive and had expected a much better one than it really was.

Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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 Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 42 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 Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan?
+
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 Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan?
+
Around 15 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan 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 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. 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.
