Aswan to Luxor Destination Reviews

1/5: Unreliable and poor communication We booked the Tourist Minivan from Aswan to Luxor for 11:00 AM, operated by Visit Luxury Egypt / Visit Egypt Tours. Less than 24 hours before departure, we were told that only 7:00 AM or 1:00 PM was possible, and we were asked to pay extra if we wanted the 11:00 AM time we had already booked and paid for. After a long discussion, the company confirmed in writing that a private car would pick us up at 12:00 PM. On the day, we were only informed at 12:10 PM, and only after we asked, that the driver would arrive around 1:00 PM. In the end, we left at 1:50 PM, almost three hours after our booked time. We had already checked out and waited for hours with all our luggage. Because of the delay, we had to cancel our plans in Luxor that afternoon. Honestly, we felt completely fooled. It seemed like 12:00 PM was only promised to end the discussion, not because it was ever realistic. We sent the company a complaint and asked for compensation. Both messages were read, but we never received an answer. We cannot recommend this operator

Our driver was great, he arrived early and contacted us on WhatsApp. He got us there safely and even stopped for coffee. We was very kind and we had a good chat over Google translate. We would recommend Mohammed!

Reviews were bad for bookaway, so thought I'd use 12Go instead. I booked them and it turned they are also partnered with a bookaway too. You need a PAPER TRAIN TICKET IN Egypt for the train. You have to call 12Go with your hotel name and room no. I didn't have one at the time as I was winging my holiday. I then felt pressured to book one quickly so that I could get my tkt ASAP. I arrived on a Sunday night and contacted them and was told if get them on monday . Then said Tues at 9pm. I did not get my tkt til around 11pm Tues night. I was leaving at 10am Weds! I had a lot of worry as I couldn't afford to buy another tkt. Their staff reassured me each time that I txt or phoned them that I would definitely get them in time and we're very apologetic, but it was quite worrying none the less. They also said they'd changed delivery companies recently.

The place wasn't so easy to find using Google maps. The driver was cool and was willing to accommodate me with my need. The comfort of the seat wasn't the worst, yet wasn't the best either. Hard to sleep, not very made for sleeping. Overall, better than the train. Much better.

I am Japanese, and I didn’t know much about this travel company, so I was a little worried at first. However, after actually using their service, I felt reassured and was very comfortable throughout the trip. Thank you to the driver as well.

Second time that we take this company and the buses are not clean at all. People are very kind but the prices from Aswan to louxor were more expensive than with taxi for 2 adults and 4 children

Confirmed pick up and drop of via booking. At the time of the pick up driver mentioned he can’t come to my location due to road conditions. Driver wanted to cancel the trip and I started arranging with options from the hotel. Sent message to customer care and all of a sudden driver could pick us up again. Road conditions were no worse or better coming into Luxor so not sure why the resistance to pick up in Aswan. Also I booked a mini bus van and a car picked us up which was a cheaper option to travel on your booking site.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.
