The tour is comprehensive and a great alternative for those who have few days and/or don't want to take the cruise. The guide was great! He explained everything with so much love and appreciation for the history of his people. The driver was very professional and attentive.

This was terrible. Pick up was half an hour late. The drive spent most of the morning yelling on the phone. Was supposed to have a guide for both stops. The guide didn't show until 10 mins before leaving for the second stop. He said the driver never called him. Saw the drive try to call a number 3 times while arriving in town with no answer so no clue of that was accurate. Then the company said the guide was supposed to be on the bus but there wasn't enough seats. There was another open seat on the bus. The guide at the first place also had mentioned there would be a new guide at the second stop. Ill include screenshots if this let's me. Also, we were told the driver would drop us off at our hotels. The driver was insisting that he was only going to drop us off at the Luxor Temple and not to our hotels. The entire group had to complain and the company had to be reached out to in order to get him to agree to stop at our hotels. After that he spent the following hour of the drive flipping us off. Honestly, look for a different group to do the trip. This isn't work the hassle. Also when they say and hour at the stops that time also has to be used for getting up to the site along with buying the tickets. Even without the guide, the second stop felt like we had to speed through it in order to see most of it.
Great communication. Pick up was on time. Driver was professional and navigated the difficult road conditions. Both guides are great and gave very good information. Would recommend.
Our tour ended up being private only because no one else signed up. Unfortunately, both guides were disappointing. The first guide only explained the basics and did not seem very interested in communicating or sharing much history or storytelling. The second guide was even worse. He explained for only around 10 minutes, then left us there and went home. We also had no chance to ask questions afterward because he was already gone. Overall, this did not feel like a proper guided tour at all.
Great day from Egypt Knight Tours. We travelled from Aswan up to Luxor by private vehicle stopping at Kom Ombo, Edfu and Esna on the way. Our driver was courteous, professional, supplied us with water and we felt safe with his driving in a very comfy vehicle. It was great to drive through all the small townships to see the real Egypt, thoroughly recommend rather than getting a train. First stop Kom Ombo...our guide Abdul was superb. Very polite and professional and also extremely funny and engaging, involving us in acting out the story behind the temple. The temple is great, some great images depicting surgical tools right at the back and the story is interesting. Don't miss the crocodile museum next door to see mummified crocs!! Next stop was Edfu, my favourite temple of the day, it is such a sight to behold. Again, our guide Muhammad was great; explained everything in detail and gave us ample time to look around without rushing us. We then added Esna on to our trip but did not have a guide here. The outside had scaffolding but do not be put off as the inside has the best ceiling artwork and colourings in any of the temples we have seen so far in Egypt (we have seen a lot). Overall highly recommend using Egypt Knight as the vehicle, guides and communication were all great, with them contacting us the day before to reconfirm and giving us an opportunity to ask any last minute questions in advance.
tour operator is good. tour guides I met in each area was so small voice, so it has an improving point. Kom ombo and edfu are very beautiful temples, so it has value for take your time.
The guiding in Kom Ombo was superficial. The guiding at Edfu was good I think. The driver was careful.
Unforgettable Nile Cruise with Egypt Knight Our deluxe Nile cruise package with Egypt Knight between Aswan and Luxor was a truly amazing and memorable experience. We were thoroughly impressed with the comfortable cabins, excellent service, and delicious food onboard. The itinerary perfectly showcased the rich and vibrant history at every temple and tomb in the region. A huge thanks to our guide, Sam, whose deep knowledge and seamless coordination made every site visit effortless and fascinating. Thanks to Egypt Knight, our sail along the Nile was exceptional from start to finish. 5 stars plus!
Nada and Mahmoud were professional in every way. They were always communicating with me to answer any questions and to confirm details. One of the best shuttle companies I have ever used. I highly recommend this company.
The driver was pretty lousy and even though the description says the tour starts at a particular time, they'll ask you to be ready 2 hours beforehand because they pick up a whole group of tourists before proceeding to Luxor. More time is wasted on that than is given to the tourists to actually see the temples. The guides were worth hiring. Our first guide at Kom Ombo temple was terrific and highly informative! Our second one - not so much.
As the tour approached, I didn't receive any pickup information, so I checked to make sure. They didn't know my pickup point, and I was told that if my acco As the tour approached, I didn't receive any pickup information, so I checked to make sure. They didn't know my pickup point, and I was told that if my accommodation was on the island, they has a designated pickup location, where was far from my hotel. After negotiations, I compromised and agreed to a closer pickup location outside the island. You shouldn't include a location that you can't pick up at on the list. Moreover, despite repeated requests, they did not provide me with the contact details to meet my guide. At the first destination, the driver told me to buy a ticket and enter the area before meeting the guide. (Just like the driver), they may have thought that they would recognize me because they had my photo, but there were so many people in the large area and I couldn't even recognize my guide, so I tried for a while but still couldn't find him. I didn't want to waste any more time of my sightseeing, so I gave up looking for my guide and was forced to tour without a guide. Perhaps because I complained about this incident, I was finally given the WhatsApp number of the guide at the next destination, and was able to receive his service without any problems.
I booked with English tour guide. The guide hopped on near the temples, had very strong accents, hard to understand. Both guides spent about 10 minutes and took off. At the end of the tour, the driver just dropped the whole group in Luxor near no one’s hotel. I had to drag my luggage and walked 15 minutes to my hotel. Same situation worn the rest. I will not recommend this tour
Great way to see the Egyptian small towns. We stopped to see edfu and Kom Ombo temples and had very few tourists it was excellent. Driver spoke little english being the only downside. Roads were ok, not as bad a we were expecting. Definately the way to go if you don't want to a cruise or take the train. It took 6hrs including the stops. You can now go direct in 2.5 hrs on the new road.
Strictly avoid them. Guides at both the temples only spent around 20 mins with us, just giving high level idea which are anyways written on the signages there. Unlike other guides in the temple who were explaining various murals with great details, our guides didn't do any such thing. The driver (Michael) kept pressuring us to finish early. While the trip says 8-10 hours duration in viator, the driver didn't honour that. The guides asked us to finish our individual temple tours in 10-20 minutes, which is funny - as these two temples take hours to see. The driver sent the guide (at the Kom Ombo temple) to get us back from the temple as fast as possible. Both the driver and that guide was extremely rude.
Everything went exactly as plannned. Efficient and kind service. Pick up and drop off in the exact spot we asked for. I recommend it!
In fact I was expecting a minibus, however it was a car and a very comfortable trip , which did as promise. Tours were nicely spaced with a good unrushed time in each.
Experience was really good. The driver was fast. Going 140 km/h when he could. The guides were good too. Especially the one at Edfu This is great cause you get your transfer between Aswan and Luxor and you get to see the two temples along the way. Edfu is a must see
Our experience was wonderful from start to finish. Mahmoud ensured that all transfers were seamless, and our fantastic guide Mohammed managed to strike the perfect balance between giving us lots of information and facts while at the same time giving us some free time to absorb these wonders on our own. We highly recommend their services for a truly lovely experience in this magical place!
If you are planning to transfer from Aswan to Luxor or vice versa, this is a great option to travel. You can utilize the travel time by visiting these two great spots. The driver is was really friendly and reached the places on time. The guide at Kom Ombo, Mahmoud was really knowledge and friendly. He gave so much information. Also gave me enough time to take pictures. The guide at Edfu temple, Sameer was also really great and knowledgeable. Even if we were about 30 mins late to reach the spot, he accommodated ample amount of time in guiding through the spots and explaining about the history in detail and in scorching heat. He also gave to enough time to take pictures. Strongly recommend this trip.

Great tour, perfect if you want to see the temples on your way. Rafeq is a great driver! He is very nice and his timing was on point. We arrived at every stop on time and he made sure I had everything I needed the whole time. The guides were great aswell.
Temples are worth the view to be honest. But i would not recommand that company for the trip. 1)for the price: take indrive (like uber), it will be cheaper 2)for the communication : couldn't reach them through text or by calling them before and during the activity 3)for the service : the owner yelled at me on the phone when he finaly reached back by the end of the trip 4)for the driver : couldnt speak english + asked me to give him money for the last hour of the trip (through Google translate) so he could open his own business... save yourself some peave of mind. Book elsewhere
Wish we could give 6 stars. Khaled did a superb job showing us karnak and luxor Temple and explained everything in great detail. Questions were incouraged and meet with a clear and thorough answer. Excellent driving from the chauffeur aswell. All in all an unforgetable experience.
Outstanding guide I had at Kom Ombo, the best by far I had in all Egypt. The driver was very professional and the car in mint condition. Great value for money. I would really recommend it to anyone
We found this a great way to travel between Aswan and Luxor. Our driver picked us up from Nubian Village and then we met local guides as each of the 2 temples. Esam at Kom Ombo even gave us some useful information sheets to take away. We were then dropped off at our Luxor hotel.
The trip was great, I wasn't expecting to be alone, but I had a private car and a guides in the temples. In Kom Ombo I was guided by Esam, very professional well prepared guidance with lots of details, pictures and explanations. In the Edfu temple the guide was funny, but less informative, however all the important points were pointed. The driver drove safely and I was dropped to my guest house in Luxor. The contact with company by WhatsApp was good, I got all the information needed. Before you go it's good to book the tickets to the temples online at the official website, it saves the time and you know the current prices, as they change every few weeks due to the inflation in Egypt. I paid 360 and 450 pounds for the tickets additional (you buy the tickets by yourself anyway).
Available at a much more reasonable price compared to other tour companies! Clean cars and personal guides improve the quality of your trip. I recommend it! 다른 투어사와 비교했을때 훨씬 합리적인 가격으로 이용가능! 깨끗한 자동차와 개인 가이드가 있어 여행이 편함! 추천합니다👍
the driver drove safe and stable during the driving time. especially very helpful to drop me off as closer to my hotel. the tour guides are nice especially the one guide at kom ombo temple, he is very informative and professional. I can see he respects his job and tourists a lot. I really appreciate and enjoy it so much just one suggestion, there may be better a small tea or lunch break during the tour as it is quite hungry when arrived at luxor at 3:30pm. others planning is fine for me
Mohammad who guided us for trip was very friendly and made the its a very memorable trip .. they were also kind enough to re route the drop location based on our request .
A great trip, with a very friendly treatment giving security at all times. An excellent driver despite the bad roads. And very friendly local guides and leaving time to take pictures. Thank you Mahmoud and Nada for being attentive in helping me with the journey. I travel alone and understand very little English, but I have felt very accompanied. Thank you.
We applied for local guides in Edfu and Komuombo as they were optional, and both were very nice and satisfying. (3 guides on 9-person tour, 6 unguided) We recommend that you do not have to go on a Nile cruise, but choose this tour that combines sightseeing to get a great deal.
The driver control time is good, there is a timely transfer and departure, and people are also kind. Only if the person who is not interested in listening to the talk can book another service directly, because the middle stop time is only 1-1.5hr, a little hurry. The only shortcomings of the United States are that the address of the Luxor hotel before departure was given, the local driver seemed to have no control, and finally arrived on the google map, the communication between the company and the driver may be a little bad. Overall, the transportation from Aswan to Luxor is still convenient
A fantastic, unforgettable experience. Mahmoud is a very nice and reliable guide who, with enormous knowledge and enthusiasm, has made a major contribution to our trips to the most beautiful temples and other sights. I can highly recommend Egyptian Knight Tours and Mahmoud!
複数人での乗り合いツアーだと思っていたのですが、今回は私1人の参加でした。朝、ドライバーとアスワンの集合場所で合流し出発します。コムオンボ、エドフの各神殿にガイドが待っているのでそちらで合流して神殿のガイドをしてくれる形でした。アスワンからルクソールまでのこの2つの神殿を巡るにはクルーズで複数日かけてじゃないと難しいと思っていたので、1日で周りつつ移動できたのでとてもコスパが良いツアーだと思いました。
It was a very good experience, a punctual pick-up service, very experienced and kind guides. I was delighted with the entire service.
