Reception, excellent organization, efficiency - Unfortunately at the last minute we were cancelled the cruise, we contacted Moa and he managed to reorganise the overland trip for us, including the visit of Abu Simbel. We are very grateful to him, he found for us excellent means of transport and prepared guides. We highly recommend it!!

Outstanding experience with Go to Egypt - We booked several tours with Go to Egypt, including Abu Simbel, Aswan, Luxor, Abydos and Dendera, and the experience was truly outstanding from beginning to end. Everything was perfectly organized, smooth and comfortable, with excellent time management and great attention to detail. Any changes or adjustements were handled with flexibility and professionalism, making the entire experience completely stress-free. It is very clear that the guest comfort and satisfaction are a real priority for Go to Egypt. Although we personally joined only some of their tours, Go to Egypt offers trips across all of Egypt, and based on our experience, we would confidently trust them anywhere în the country. A reliable, professional and highly recommended travel company. We will definetely choose Go to Egypt again in the future.

Best transportation to go Abu Simbel - Awesome trip with Mohammed to Abu Simbel. On time pick up at 4:30am at boat and back before 1pm to catch our ship. Still had 1.5h in Abu Simbel which was great. We arrived there ahead of the crowd thanks to great amd fast drive. Bought the tickets online so we breeze thorough entrance in morning.

Abu simbel - Just got back from the most epic trip to Abu simbel in Aswan and I can't recommend it enough! The simple were amazing 👏 🤩 😍. On other hands Moaga, the organiser, was absolutely top touch, he made sure we were sorted and comfortable the whole time. His driver was also amazing, super safe and respectful 🙏. If you are thinking of doing this trip, do it, Moaga's got you covered. 10/10 would recommend 👌 👏 👍 😍.

The best experience - This excursion to Abu Simbel was without a doubt the best part of the entire trip. I guarantee you won’t regret it. Choose this option to go to Abu Simbel and discover spectacular places in Egypt with Mohaga. The best part isn’t what you’re going to see — the best part is the company. Mohagat was an incredible guide. He helped us so much, we had super deep conversations, and I would definitely choose this experience again a thousand times over.

Run away! Disappointed with the agency and attitude - After cancelling my booking because no one answered my questions by email, I was contacted by WhatsApp by the agency and we agreed to keep the booking under the same conditions. I asked if I could pay by CB I was told yes no bp. We were picked up at 4:00 and a few and we picked up 2 more girls late. The van was full. These girls spoke loudly all the way when at 4:00 everyone wanted to rest. The driver said nothing. Arriving at the scene around 8am he told us to be there at 9.30am. I answered 9:30, just 1:30? Yet it was 2 hours on the spot. He said yes at 9:30. Obviously he said something else to the 2 other girls since after visiting quickly to be on time we realized that the others had 9:45 am late. Nevertheless the drivers had left the girls without pb arriving + late. We waited for them while they hit on the girls. We only had water offered waiting in the minivan for 40 minutes because we left only at 10:10! We could have visited without running. On the way home the girls still spoke loudly to each other while everyone was sleeping or trying to sleep like me. I asked nicely if it was possible to speak less loudly. The girl responded aggressively that I just had to take a private car, that she wanted to talk to her girlfriend and that I had to mind my own business. Then she spoke in Arabic to the driver who was hitting on her and laughing with her letting her get everyone drunk. And on arrival at the end when I pay I take out my CB and I am refused when I was told yes without pb at the reservation. We kept our Egyptian books for our next day excursions and we had to give him everything. He had no change on 1870 egp. I had 1865 and for EGP he refused. We had to give 1900egp and he gave us back 10egp. Normally it is up to the merchant to give + if he has no change and not to the customer! We found it abusive so for all this I would say don't go!

Awful. - We recommend you not to take this tour due to a number of non-compliances and situations that seriously affected the contracted experience. First of all, I received a call four hours before the confirmed time in my reservation, when the time was 8 am, in which I was required to arrive in 20 minutes under the threat of leaving us off Service. This was totally unjustified, as my booking clearly shows the time of eight am. But since they had only managed a reservation at 4am I guess they wanted to put together the same trip and make this problem. Faced with this situation, I was assured that someone would be sent to support me at the river crossing, as I was on Elephantine Island, on the other side. However, that help never came. Eventually I had to hire and pay a Third party personally, with the commitment that they would cover that expense, which did not happen either. Throughout the process I tried to reach out by phone, but only got partial replies by message and without fulfillment, which increased frustration and uncertainty. I travel with my mother, who is older, and this situation generated great stress, as well as affecting the organization of our itinerary. Additionally, another tourist in the vehicle was hostile to us because they made her believe that the delay was our responsibility. The real reason was never explained to him, which caused an uncomfortable Mood throughout the journey. In short, the agreed timetable was not met, the promised Service was not fulfilled, extra expenses were generated unacknowledged, and both myself and my family were exposed to a time of unnecessary tension and discomfort. For all the above I recommend you not to take this tour.
