I recently did this tour in Luxor. This is a private tour so you are able to move at your own pace. This was a special tour because after Ko Ombo, the driver dropped us off at an Aswan hotel vs going back to Luxor. The guide, Ahmed Emam, was nice. The driver, Mohammed Ramadan, was a great driver ...

It was about a ten hour tour but worth it to see the Greek Temples close to the Nile rIver. You can also visit these temples if you are with a river cruise. Both temple complexes are half way between Luxor and Aswan. I was accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide Hesham. Recommend the tour.
