Worth the money but check which guide you are getting and organize your own lunch
The organization of this trip was so simple and easy to tailor. We loved the interesting youre on Edifu and Phliae temples. Our tour guide (Manal) at Edifu was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. Our tour in Aswan was less organized and our guide less congenial (Ahmed). And lunch was an ordeal to agree on with the guide and he kept changing and confusing us. The driver of our personal tour was Mahmoud Jad-the most pleasant, skillful and warm person could ask for. We would gladly go anywhere with him! Kudos to the tour agency who were following up each leg of the trip and very professional about our feedback. Overall a very beautiful experience!
Response from the operator: We are truly honored by your kind words! It is our passion to ensure every detail of your journey is handled with care and professionalism. Knowing that our efforts made your experience special is the greatest reward for our team. Thank you for choosing us!

How a tour becomes a race with a lost driver.
The driver is helpfull and kind, professionnal in a way but... communication was quite hard due to his limited english. Our tour from luxor included edfu temple and 3 visits around aswan. From 9.30am to 17pm, we managed to visit edfu for 1 hour and the philea temple for 1 hour. We tried to customize the visits to do most but we couldn't manage to be understood. Hopefully we were comprehensive, but it can be very scary when your driver never made the route before, asking direction to people on the street or even while driving from car to car. Gps is not included. As a final egyptian touch, the offered drink and banana cause we also had no time to eat... has to be paid at the end.

Very disappointed
Activity cancelled 1h30 before departure. According to the rules, if the provider cancels the activity, it is refunded 100%. I’ve been waiting more than 2 weeks for my CAD$400. And still nothing. Very disappointed with the turn of events, because I am running to get my money back when it is the company that cancelled everything! Disappointing!

“Efficient, Enjoyable, and Highly Recommended Tour Experience with Mohamed”
We chose this tour as a one-way trip from Luxor to Aswan, combining sightseeing with transportation, and it turned out to be an economical and efficient decision. Along the way, we enjoyed views of the charming rural landscapes, and the Temple of Horus at Edfu was absolutely spectacular. These experiences alone make this tour highly worthwhile. We were particularly fortunate to have Mohamed as our driver. He played a key role in making our trip so enjoyable. When Mohamed contacted us the day before, he discussed the itinerary with us, confirmed the places we wanted to visit, and even suggested an optimal departure time. During the tour, he provided helpful tips on what to focus on at the sites we visited. Thanks to his advice, we were able to execute an ambitious plan without wasting any time. Mohamed is young, charming, and professional. The car he used was newer and more comfortable compared to standard city taxis, with a clean and pleasant interior. I highly recommend Mohamed with full confidence for anyone considering this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for writing this wonderful review! We truly appreciate your support and positive feedback. We're glad to hear your experience with us was excellent, and we look forward to serving you again in the future

Private Full Day Tour From Luxor To Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Private Full Day Tour From Luxor To Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Full Day Tour From Luxor To Aswan take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Private Full Day Tour From Luxor To Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full Day Tour From Luxor To 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 Full Day Tour From Luxor To Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour From Luxor To Aswan?
+
Around 2 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full Day Tour From Luxor To 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip W/Lunch & Transfer from Hurghada. 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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
