Long drive

It's a long journey to visit the philae temple and aswan high dam. I feel like the experience is not worth the travel time

Badly Organized & Unprofessional

Madison_C, Mar 2025

They driver skipped the major destination, The Temple of Horus in Edfu. We didn't find out until we arrived in Aswan. It wasn't his fault because no one from the tour company told him that he was supposed to stop. We were insistent on seeing Edfu so the guide arranged for us to go back early. We got less than two hours in Aswan, no lunch, and then sat in the car 3 hours to make it to the Temple before it closed. The day was wasted and for what it cost my friend & I are both upset. They refunded us $15 which is honestly more insulting than no refund at all.

Excellent history tour of Aswan

The tour was excellent!! My tour guide Barry and driver did an outstanding job and really made the Aswan’s history come alive! This is definitely a history buff’s tour with the Aswan dam and other site. It’s a long drive from Luxor, but a nice change of pace from the city

Nice Day trip to luxor to aswan

Hi,We are very happy with the service that we received from REFLECTIONS TRAVELS and our tour guide Barry and driver Yusuf. Travel agency arranged full day road trip from luxor to aswan. We really recommend REFLECTIONS TRAVELS for everyone, who like to visit aswan. Thank you

Interesting

Temple of Horus and Philai were worth seeing, but the Aswan dam was not quite honestly, it would have been better if the Temple of Kom Ombo had been included instead. The tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable about the sites and the driver got us there and back safely. It is a long journey there and back. What we did not appreciate was picking up an unwelcome guest on the outbound journey when we went through one of the police check points. We had paid for that private car. It seemed like the driver was forced to take this guy and we felt we couldn't say no either but we should not have been put in that position.

Long Drive

Driver and guide were great and friendly. Fellucca boat ride was nice. Aswan was a nice enough town. Though the drive from Luxor to Aswan was pretty long there and back (started from 5 am and got back around 8 pm). If you want to catch Luxor and Aswan on the very same trip, then a cruise would be more advisable.

Excellent guide and...

Excellent guide and driver provide best possible experience! Would highly recommend especially for solo traveler

Long but great day!

Danielle_M, Sep 2022

Exploring Aswan guided by Roshdy was a lot of fun. We learned so much about the history and culture. We appreciated the flexibility a lot to tailor some of the stops on the tour and being able to visit the Nubian Village which was a highlight for us. Transportation was very spacious with AC — a great respite from the heat and long drive from Luxor

Horrible

MIsabel_G, Jan 2023

No se hizo el recorrido contratado...el guia Osama esperaba en Aswan, por lo que no ví Edfú, ni nada en el camino...para "compensar" tuve que abonar 60€ en cash para ver poblado nubio. Finalmente, la chaqueta que dejé en el coche y que iban a cuidar, no he podido recuperarla...Un desastre
