Summary: Our Guide Mohammed and our driver were excellent, both experts in their respective roles. Edfu is virtually intact and gives a real sense of what it must have been like in the ptolemaic era. They were extremely flexible with our itinerary replacing Kom Ombo with Esna, a smaller temple but with beautifully preserved colourful walls and ceilings a long day but would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Summary: I recently did this tour in Luxor. This is a private tour so you are able to move at your own pace. This was a special tour because after Ko Ombo, the driver dropped us off at an Aswan hotel vs going back to Luxor. The guide, Ahmed Emam, was nice. The driver, Mohammed Ramadan, was a great driver and very professional. Overall, I recommend doing this tour while in Luxor, especially if you need a ride to Aswan without a plane or private car.
