Amazing! - From start to finish, this tour was an absolute highlight my trip. The temples themselves are absolutely amazing. You really have to see them in person to appreciate how massive and detailed they are. The whole trip was super well organized, which made everything easy and stress-free. Big shoutout to Marina from customer support — she was super helpful and friendly the whole way through. Totally recommend this tour if you’re in Egypt!

Guided tour of Abu Simbel temples - Hassan was a great guide for our visit to the Abu Simbel and Nefertari temples in Aswan. He is very knowledgeable and always excited to share his insights about ancient Egypt, which made the tour even more interesting. Highly recommend booking a tour with Hassan!

Really appreciate this... - Really appreciate this company! Not an easy drive from Luxor to Abu Simbel and back. The driver and the communication with the office was very quick. He picked us up at 4.30 and all paperwork was done a day before via whatsup. Temples are great and worth every minute of this long trip.

Shaimaa Baheeg - It was a great guide. We had trouble, but they were kind enough to take care of us regardless of the guide.

all good - pick up was at 4:30am from the west bank, i was dropped onto the corniche where i crossed the nile in a boat. the boat had to parallel park in front of another boat that was blocking the dock and it was very dark and i almost tripped on that other parked boat we had to walkover to get to the dock. maybe providing a flashlight is a good idea. annyway i was met on the street with a small red mitsubishi suv - not sure if that was an eclipse cross or what. i was gifted a braided scarab bracelet before starting my journey. the drive was long but we did stop every 2 hrs or so for toilet breaks and stretching. the gas station toilets were mostly clean and free - except for the last one which was a restaurant toilet , that one charged Le 10 and was kind of the shoddiest toilet. anyway it was roughly a 5hr drive to get there. got there around 10:06am. i met the tour guide inside after i bought a ticket, and he did an infodump since guides are not allowed inside the temples. after the infodump i had free time to roam and explore and take pics. overall i had around 1.5hrs there, it was enough since the temples were small inside, not much to explore. on the way back they told me they will swtch drivers when we reached aswan. the drive back took 6 hrs, it was quite traffic when we reached luxor city. overall it was a pleasant experience but i don't know that this was worth $135 and the 11hr drive because it was just... not as impressive as i imagined lol. it's kinda like going to taj mahal... quite underwhelming lol. but anyway this is just a personal opinion about the temples, there was nothing wrong with the actual tour, it was conducted in a professional manner and i do recommend this company if you want to see abu simbel by road.

Excellent - It's a long drive, 6 hours there then the same back. The driver was brilliant! Think his name was Abdo, plenty of breaks if you need them and he points out anything good to see. The Temple was good as well.

Long day but equally rewarding. - Had a great experience with Nice tours. Marina was superhelful and punctual in communication over WhatsApp. The driver Abenob was amazing. He was extremely polite and considerate. The tour guide was more focused on pictures rather the history but I believe that's what most people like. I would have loved to have a guide explaining the history slowly and taking interests in my questions. Anyways it's easy and comfortable tour. If you are in doubt, just go for it.

Long day but definitely worth it - The morning started at 5AM. We met Mustafa Hagagy and the driver Hishmat. We have got a welcoming package and we reached safely all the locations, especially we could make it to the Abu Simbel Temple before the closing hour thanks to Hishmat whom drove us for the required time making his best to arrive in time. During the first 3 temples Mustafa guided us through the history of the temples. The experience was delightful, many thanks to Mustafa and Hishmat for this great experience, it is truly recommended.
