“A wonderful day exploring the well-preserved Edfu Temple - Smooth, effortless communication with the tour operator. We were picked up on time by a friendly driver in a nice car. We were given plenty of time to see both temples and were brought back home safely. The Edfu Temple is better preserved than the Kom Ombo Temple. We didn’t know that at the time so ask your driver or your tour guide (if you’ve booked one) for more time in Edfu. We had a wonderful day and I definitely recommend this tour!” - Reviewed on 2025-03-12
