    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.

    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.

    +

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan?

    +

    +

    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.

    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?

    +
