The desert road between Luxor and Aswan can be long, but this tour made it comfortable. The vehicle was clean and air-conditioned, the driver was careful, and our guide kept us engaged. The stops were well timed. A well-planned and pleasant way to cover the distance with some sightseeing along the way.

The route between Luxor and Aswan is long but rewarding, with villages, canals, and palm groves passing by between the temples. The guide explained the history at each stop clearly, the car stayed cool, and the pacing meant nobody was ever exhausted. Philae was unforgettable, and Kom Ombo at dusk was almost as good
Moving from Luxor to Aswan along the Nile gave this trip a natural rhythm that a single-city stay could never match. Each day brought something different — towering columns at Karnak, the twin sanctuaries of Kom Ombo, the massive pylons of Edfu, and finally the beautiful island temple of Philae. The driver was careful and punctual, the vehicle was spotless, and there was always cold water available. What stood out most was how flexible the guide was, adjusting timings to avoid the hottest hours and the biggest crowds. Tickets were handled in advance, so no time was wasted in queues. A smooth, well-paced journey through ancient history.
What I appreciated most about this Luxor to Aswan tour was its rhythm. Mornings belonged to the monuments, afternoons to the sun deck, and evenings to quiet dinners as the desert drifted past. We saw the colossal columns of Karnak, descended into the tombs of the Valley of the Kings, and reached Edfu and Kom Ombo at golden hours. The guide arranged by Mr Ash, the owner of Luxor Private Tour, explained each site clearly and treated us with real kindness. Cabins were comfortable, food was good, and the pacing never felt rushed. A journey that balanced history with genuine rest.
The journey from Luxor to Aswan felt less like a transfer and more like a pilgrimage. Each bend of the Nile revealed something new: the immense colonnades of Karnak, the painted silence of the Valley of the Kings, the sandstone grandeur of Edfu, and finally the island calm of Philae. Our guide wove the politics, religion, and gossip of three thousand years into a single continuous story, so that by the time we reached Aswan the landscape itself felt familiar. Comfortable transport, sensible pacing, and evenings free to simply watch the river go by.
This Luxor to Aswan tour exceeded my expectations. The pickup was smooth, the guide was knowledgeable, and the sights were breathtaking. From the Valley of the Kings to Abu Simbel, every stop was impressive and well explained. The Nile views were stunning, the food was good, and the schedule was clear. Even though the journey is long, the organization and comfort made it easy to enjoy. A great choice for travelers who want to see the best of Upper Egypt.
We took an organized trip with Ash’s company, and it truly was wonderful. He took care of every detail and was always attentive to my two children, who are teenagers. It was a very, very recommendable experience. At all times he made sure we were comfortable. The hotels we stayed in were incredible, and the overall attention and flexibility were a 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend it. ✨
Amazing experience with Ash and his extended team. We were on a Nile cruise organized via some other company and we wanted to abort due to a horrible experience on the ship and the tour guides at Luxor. Within 12 hrs of reaching out to Ash he was able to organize to get us picked up from the Edfu stop of the cruise ship the next morning and we were off to a couple of days of fun stops and trip to Aswan and then Abu Simbel with overnight stays organized by him as well. They literally saved our Egypt trip. Guides and drivers were great and Ash was very communicative throughout.
I planned a trip to Luxor and wanted to see Abu Simbel, so I booked a tour with Luxor Private Tour and had a great time. My guide, Abeer, was knowledgeable and friendly, and I was able to see everything I wanted to see. it was a great way to see Egypt. I was able to take a few days off of work and visit Egypt solo own my own . I got to visit the beautiful Abu Simbel and the amazing temples of Luxor. I also saw the Valley of the Kings and a lot of the amazing ancient sites 100 % recommend them
Excellent tour; very well organized and flexible to the needs of the group. The tour guide was really great and brought the monunents to life. Strongly recommend
I booked this trip based on the recommendation from Ashraf. There's alot to see in Egypt and the recommendations do help. On my trip to Luxor i got the guide and car as there was alot to see in Luxor. The guide was even nice enough to take me to see the Colossi it was a bit out of the way but he really wanted to show me, and if you haven't seen it i would recommend it. Alot of great conversations with the driver and guide on our way. Giving some nice insights on things we saw on the way. My trip to abu simbel i opted to take it with a tour group of about 7 other people on a smaller bus. I was provided with a guide there who i met me at the bus and showed me around would definitely recommend as there is alot to know about Abu simbel and its history. The communication was flawless and prompt, would recommend this tour group
Luxor Private Tour arranged my week stay in Luxor and then to Aswan and Abu Simbel. I had a great time and the days we spent together were like spending time with friends. This was especially nice as I traveled on my own Ashraf was great with arranging everything and accommodating to changes in plans. From meeting up in Luxor airport to driving me to Abu Simbel all was flawless. In Luxor, we did a full day tour eith a guide. I don't generally hire guides, but this time was great. Abdul was very knowledgeable, kind and he really enjoyed doing the tour together. Later we had a great 2 day tour, going to Aswan and Abu Simbel. Driving was good and safe in a comfortable car, so the hours passed easily. They were flexible with my schedule and had some nice surprises too. It wasn't my first time in Egypt, but got the chance to discover some new really amazing sites. In Luxor, visit the tombs of Seti I and Nefertari was incredible as well as a balloon flight over the Nile. Then seeing Abu Simbel was a dream come true as well as the island of Philae and the Aswan dam.
Amazing places and the tour guide (hany agamy) ( ashraf bory the tour operator) had excellent knowledge and very nice explanation, I found it really useful and interesting with amazing places that I really recommend to visit, the company is really good and very friendly and nice, they speak all languages that would be easy for everyone to communicate with. Definitely would not be the last time.
well, what can I say but now. Those were amazing places I travelled to. We had the best time travelling. Something for everyone really! What made it over the top was having Ashraf as our tour guide. He went above and beyond to make us very comfortable. Nothing too much trouble you know, he's knowledgeable about sites we visited, professional fun, good English, most importantly so friendly and helpful. Such a memorable vacation we had there. I would highly recommend them.
So pre our part, we were only with this guide for the visit of abu simbel dc 1 day because we already had another guide for other cities. The organization was correct, the ride was made in an air-conditioned mini bus. Comfortable. This is a serious agency. There's nothing wrong with that. The negative would be more about timing. We have to do everything super fast, knowing it's super hot and the place is grd good... I don't like to be in too much of a hurry qd I'm on vacation. It's kind of the same pb with guided tours. And the majority of the guides speak very fast with a French a bit broken bcp dc we do not remember grd thing... And it often lacks humanity. It's pretty robotic. Otherwise serious agency that respects his visits. Very safe 👌
We are very satisfied with these 2 days with our guide Sayed and his driver. He offered us quality tours with very good explanations. I would highly recommend to other tourists the proposed program. Sayed speaks very well in French and was able to put himself up to our task so that we could understand the whole story.
Luxor Private Tours, led by Ashraf, made my experience in Egypt 10/10. We started our route with your Enterprise in Hurghada, and were transported to Luxor in a very spacious and comfortable minivan. The driver was very friendly and you rating that he has a lot of experience driving in the chaos situations that are in Egypt. In Luxor, the Enterprise provided us with a guide that taught us everything there is to see (Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple, etc.). Once again, thank you to Luxor Private Tours for offering us the best guide we could have had. They then took us to Aswan and finally Abu Simbel, and made sure that wherever we went, our experience was always amazing. In addition, Ashraf made sure we had authentic Egyptian experiences, including some surprises that proved to be one of the strengths of the trip. I don't usually write many reviews on Tripadvisor, but this one was so special that it requires a mention and my high recommendation.
I recommend booking with this agency. We made Abu Simbel, Aswan by boat to luxor. Ashraf is really professional, serious and helpful. He arranged everything for me with transportation and guide.
