Beautiful day in Aswan
We booked a tour to Aswan with Reflections. The tour itself was really nice, but there were some misunderstandings in the organization, and the information provided by the company was not always clear. For example, the tour was supposed to be private, but there were two cars, and one guide had to switch between them. Despite this, the day went well in the end, and everything planned was completed. What truly made the experience great was our guide, Hassan Maghripy, and our driver, Ahmed. Ahmed was an excellent driver, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. Hassan was very knowledgeable, kind, and always patient. He went out of his way to make sure we had the full experience despite the company’s organizational challenges, and his attitude made a big difference in how the day turned out. Thanks to Hassan and Ahmed, the Aswan program was successful, and the trip ended on an excellent note.

Not good, guide constantly begging for money!
Booked private tour to Aswan 1. Not private, we were with another couple who although lovely this was not as booked. 2. Guide didn’t have a clue of our itinerary and we had to hand him a list. 3. No water was provided (as stated) and the guide told us he wasn’t giving us any as he didn’t get paid enough 4. Guide said felucca trip couldn’t be done as he wasn’t paying. In the end he called the operator and they agreed to do it. 5. The guide took us to both temples (great), the Aswan dam and unfinished obelisk without a break for water. At this time 8 1/2 hours after being picked up we had to actually beg for us to have water. We happily paid for water as we felt so ill - after all over 8 hours in 30c heat is very dangerous. 6. He then said Do you want food here or back in Luxor! We received our food at 16.30 not in the middle of the day as advertised. All through the day the guide moaned about the amount he was paid and the first think he said to us was we need a tip - he even suggested $20 dollars per person for both him and the driver. We normally tip at the end of a trip but he kept pestering and even said on the boat trip - give me my tip now as I can’t pay the boat! His English was so bad we gave just couldn’t understand him at all, in fact the drivers English was much better. After the lunch at 4.30 we were supposed to go on the felucca but we’d both had enough and asked just to be taken back to Luxor. We then had to pay another 500EGP to be taken back a faster way. After paying £230 for the not private trip, having to beg for what was supposedly included, we think this extra to get home was a bit extreme. The guide Hussain I would rate as 0, hard to understand apart from his constant requests for money off us. The driver Ahmed was the only good part of the trip and according to Hussain he received no pay!!!!! Sadly if we had a good guide who knew what we’d paid for, could speak English, had the actual private tour we’d paid for, had water! and had lunch mid trip not as an afterthought then things may have been better. Worst trip we’ve ever been on and we’re really experienced travellers.

All good! Carry some cash for tolls, water and tips
Everything went smoothly and as advertised. We only had to pay 500egp (for both of us) for tolls, otherwise the excursion would have taken 5+ hours drive more through the free roads. Considering the price of the excursion, this should have been included. Otherwise only tipping should be considered when budgeting for this, and also if you will want drinks with your lunch since we didn't get water either (we spent 300+400egp on drinks in our breaks). It sounded like the communication between the tour company and the driver/both guides was lacking, they were constantly asking us where we were going and what had we already paid for. I recommend printing the receipt with the full itinerary and inclusions, you will need to show them. On the plus side, Edfu and Philae were outstanding. The driver and the car were both phenomenal. We are happy.

Memorable Adventure to Aswan
What an experience! Our guide Barry and our driver (sorry, I forget his name) kept us well informed, feeling safe, and laughing most of the trip. The boat ride and tour of Philai temple was awesome and totally worth the trip from Luxor. And seeing the High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk were added bonuses.

Long drive
It's a long journey to visit the philae temple and aswan high dam. I feel like the experience is not worth the travel time

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full Day Tour: To Aswan From Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Full Day Tour: To Aswan From Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $151 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 Private Full Day Tour: To Aswan From Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Full Day Tour: To Aswan From Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 48 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 Private Full Day Tour: To Aswan 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 Private Full Day Tour: To Aswan From Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour: To Aswan From Luxor?
+
Around 17 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full Day Tour: To Aswan 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.
