Avoid this tour company!! - I would NOT book anything with this tour company. We were picked up just by the driver and told the guide would meet us at Edfu, our first stop. Instead of meeting us at the temple, we ended up driving in circles for over 40min in the city of Edfu to pick up the guide, while listening to the driver and the guide arguing over the phone because the driver could not find the guide. We had to intervene and force the driver to go the temple and stop wasting time. After that, again instead of driving straight to our next stop, we drove to the Aswan rail station to switch guides. That added about extra 20-30min to our day. The second guide tried to charge us 600 Egyptian pound for the motor boat to Philae (which was already included on the tour), and sold us the entry ticket to Philae that he has supposedly already bought for us, but he never actually used them to get us in the place. And to top it all off, we missed the last stop of the tour at the Unfinished Obelisk as it had closed 10min before we arrived. The guide tried to convince us before arriving that seeing it from the outside was just as good, but he would take us in if we still wanted to see it. When we arrived and said we wanted to go in, he pretended to be surprised that it was already closed. When I complained to the tour company, the woman told me I should feel lucky that they showed up, when they really wanted to just cancel on us the night before.

Major let-down from unprofessional local tour operator - I booked a private one-day tour from Luxor to Aswan with a scheduled pickup at 6:00 AM (later requested at 7:00 or 7:30 AM). Despite multiple attempts over two days, the listed operator was unreachable. Viator support also confirmed they could not reach them. From 3:44 AM (!!!) on the day of the tour, I was contacted by a chain of undisclosed third parties not mentioned in the booking. By 8:30 AM, the tour had still not started, with no confirmed vehicle and no clear departure time. I therefore had to make other plans, and the tour did not take place. This experience was clearly not on par with other Viator tours I booked in Egypt, which were well organized and reliable (for once they all promptly responded to any WhatsApp communication).
