Great 4.0
The transportation pick-up was very punctual, and the driver worked hard to get us to the Abu Simbel temples before the tour groups. However, this private guided tour was already priced a bit higher than other local travel agencies. On the return trip, the driver held out an envelope asking everyone for tips, which made us feel like the price wasn't all-inclusive. Why would they ask guests for tips? Also, the itinerary didn't mention tipping or whether driver tips were included.

Is it true there aren't any reviews yet? It was a very informative time with a truly substantial and kind explanation. To be honest, I was hesitant considering the price, but it was a choice I don't regret. The English was also easy to understand and he explained things simply. I hope Ali, who was our guide, is always happy~!

Mohammed was an excellent guide and explained the temples in Luxor in detail. He also helped us out with recommendations for food and stitched together the stories from Kom Ombo, Edfu and Phillae temples to the temples and tombs of Luxor incredibly well.

We had an amazing day touring Luxor with Ahmed Yossry! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organized, and stress-free. He showed us not just the famous sites but also the hidden gems that made the experience truly special. Ahmed is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights throughout the day, bringing the history of Luxor to life in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. On top of that, he made sure we felt safe and comfortable at all times, which made a big difference in enjoying the experience fully. If you’re planning to explore Luxor, we highly recommend Ahmed, he truly made our day unforgettable.

Overall, I am satisfied. The guides and coordinators were mostly very kind. I was very grateful for the quick responses during our prior communications. However, I would have liked a more detailed schedule. If I had known there would be time to explore the cities in Aswan on day 1 and Luxor on day 3, I believe I could have spent my time more productively. It was unfortunate that the quality of the guides varied, and on one occasion, for transportation, we had a carriage transfer where we were asked for a higher-than-average tip.

I was worried about how to meet the guide since it was my first time using this, but I was easily connected with the guide via WhatsApp and had a great time without any worries.

What to know before visiting Aswan

Overview of Aswan and what travellers book

Aswan is a riverfront city known for Nile cruises and guided tours, with cruises and tours topping Klook bookings. Demand swings through the year, building to a strong peak in December and dipping to a low in July, so the rhythm of the city varies a lot by month.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows December is the busiest month and July sees the lightest demand. Prices move unevenly across the year: Klook prices climb to their highest around February and fall to their lowest around March, while December demand peaks even though prices are not consistently at their highest then. For travellers seeking smaller crowds and lower typical prices, the trough months around July and March are most suitable; for those wanting the peak-season atmosphere, December is the month to aim for despite mixed price signals.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most visitors from Australia typically book about 18 days ahead, with many last-minute bookings possible within a week and early planners locking in around six weeks. If you prefer flexibility, many experiences here can still be booked a little in advance, but for travel in December think about planning earlier to secure popular cruise and tour slots on Klook.
