The tour got off to a very bad start when the guide didn't show up to pick me up in the morning. I contacted the agency and spoke to Sayed, who was very apologetic and explained there had been a technical issue at their end. To be fair to Sayed, he did everything he could to make up for the error, although it did mean that I had to take a train to Aswan and so missed out on Kom Ombo and Edfu temples en route. The replacements stops (unfinished obelisk and dam) were okay but not anywhere near as good as what I had hoped. Philae temple was really cool though and my guide Mostafa was knowledgeable and friendly with great English. All in all I think this could be a good tour if you're very short on time and want to visit Aswan on a day trip from Luxor, but I'd recommend double checking with the tour company beforehand to make sure everything is organised well in advance.
