Nice trip - The driver was very friendly, picked up us on time, and waited for us when we returned to the parking lot. We felt very comfortable during the whole trip.

The temple was wonderful. - The good things were the description of the Absinbel temple guide, the on-time pickup and the delicious lunch. The unfortunate things were that I had been told that I could get some water, but they didn't, that a stranger (a driver I know?) came in without our permission on the way home when it was supposed to be a private car, and that the driver didn't seem to be very good at English, making it difficult to communicate during long-distance driving. The purpose of this tour is to go to Absimbel (and tickets were included!), so I think it was good to say that we achieved that.

Nice trip through the desert and beautiful site. - The pick-up time was respected. Very good drivers. Time at Abu Simbel site was expected to be 1u15min, which is too short. We extended our stay a bit. Should be possible to stay 2 hours. Guides are not allowed in the temples.

Unsafe driver - The car arranged for us was a bit sporty meaning we had little room in the back seat. The driver was impatient and unfriendly. He drove like an 18 year old boy-racer - at 140kph he was inches from a car in front on various occasions. Plus on the way back he almost fell asleep at this speed- told him to take a 2 minute rest, but he refused.

Poor customer service - The tour itself was good, Abu Simbel is worth the trip, but do NOT use this company. In hindsight, we may not have needed a guide but it was a helpful 10 minute explanation. The reason for this low review is that I paid in advance for entry tickets to be included, but upon arrival I had to pay for our tickets. (Even so, tickets are 50% cheaper at the site than the added cost and ticket lines were nonexistent.) I notified the tour company on the day of our tour, provided receipts, and was told I would be refunded. Two weeks later and several messages later, I have not received any refund nor any reply from the company about when I may be refunded the amount.

Aswan private driver to Abu simbel day trip - Emo tours is who delivered the experience, our pick up time was 4am driver was not there I messaged and got a reply at 4.11am that he could not drive to the accommodation because of a blocked road but the road had been blocked days before because our driver from the airport drove us around it to our accommodation, keep in mind the days before we clarified this in email and WhatsApp the pick up location via GPS. So he picks us up from the same location he said he could not get too, at 4.22am and we leave he has to stop to get fuel by this time we reach the escort waiting area and it’s 4.37am he tells me we can’t leave until 5am, what is the point of booking the 4am start if we cannot leave until 5am? I booked the early spot to get there before the buses to not be as crowded but that did not happen, I would have thought getting the private driver and car would help but in this case it did not. The communication from this company was below par I had to message them about everything, all the other tours I have been on in Egypt recently the day before I get the drivers number this one I didn’t get anything. On the way back from the tour he starts asking my partner if she wants to go to the perfume shop and take her into town none of this which is in the tour which she declined. He did take her to the atm as she asked and then he offered to take her to another shop again she also declined. All in all It was a comfortable drive and peaceful, but if you are someone who is trying to beat the crowds by getting there early and paying the extra cost I would not recommend.

Edge guide and useless. Superb driver. - First of all, the drive has been very comfortable, and our driver, Mustafa, has been very friendly and attentive. For him, a 10. That said, "guide" Khalid, to call it something, has been painful. He has accompanied us from the car to the temple, given us an explanation of 5 mins (literally) and given us 40 mins to see the temples. I would like to stress that the ticket, once paid, has no time limit. After that, he insisted on taking us to lunch. Besides, it was an edge. In short, it is MUCH BETTER to only hire the transfer. The guide, not only does not add, but subtracts.

Tour operators do not care - The tour operator did not confirm or communicate with us Although we had paid in full for the tour kept telling us that the tour was refunded and that we should consider another day at the eleventh hour on the day of the tour we had to make alternative arrangements Would not recommend
