Truthfully, the experience was great with Barry and Ahmed as the driver. Barry was funny and knowledgeable for sure. The tour was great throughout especially the Temple Island of Philae with the Motorboat ride (included but tip is not included for the boat master). Lunch was okay, good for most regards. Otherwise, good trip from Luxor. Barry gives you two options to take the road down to Aswan, the highway that includes toll fees which would cut down by 2 hours or the local road which would be a very long trip down one way. If you choose the highway, be prepared to give 500 egy pounds (roundtr

No use to have a guide with you, a driver is enough! My guide didn’t respect a woman’s decision, I had always to argue and insist. He made some dubious allusions to me as a woman. He was extremely annoying, I was so relieved when the trip was over. Would never book again a tour with a guide!

The Philae Temple was amazing and our guide was very knowledgeable of the history. We were taken to a spice store that offered spices of the land and fragrances were bold

Beeindruckend waren alle drei Ausflugsziele. Man hätte in dieser schönen Stadt gern mehr Zeit verbracht. Die An- und Abreise war ab Luxor etwas zu lange. Ein Zweitagesausflug wäre besser gewesen. Dennoch hat es uns sehr gefallen. Die Mühen haben sich gelohnt. Assuan ist eine Reise wert!
