Superb site- cannot miss! - The site was incredible! Definitely worth getting up at 4 am to head to the temples. The pick up was on time and the driver very friendly. Once we arrived there was a tour guide waiting for us ( Spanish speaker) who was very knowledgeable. If you like taking pictures and videos, I would recommend taking the whole day tour offer keeping in mind it is a 4 hour drive each way from and back to Aswan.

Excellent experience. Highly recommend this trip with this tour group. - Abu Simbel is well worth the three hour minivan journey from Aswan. Impressive structure plus ancient and recent history. Our local guide plus Bassant were very helpful throughout.

Great low budget day trip to Abu Simbel. - This was an easy to book trip I would recommend. I booked it the day before and their rates cannot be beaten. The guide was knowledgeable and kind, stopping to water and restroom breaks. The bus was adequate with AC and plenty of room. Excellent choice for a day in Abu Simbel.

Fantastic monument - Abu Simbel is a fantastic place and this trip was a good way of seeing this spectacular monument. There were 2 downsides in this particular trip. The first is that we weren't told of the pick up time until late the evening before. This was a bit irritating. The second was that there isn't much legroom on the minibus. Despite these reservations, I would recommend the tour.

nice but tiring - Wonderful tour. Abu Simbel is a fantastic site. It takes 4 hours to get there and 4 hours to return + 2 hours for the visit. It's very tiring also because you have to leave at 4 in the morning

Things to see are amazing but the organization was a litttle to light - The organization was a little light, obliged to ask twice the hour of pickup the following morning. The time was communicated around 10 pm for a wake up call at 3:30 am... Moreover the driver arrived 30 minutes late without giving any information. All that aside, the show is really great, it is an attraction not to be missed!

Guide charged me 275 EGP... - Guide charged me 275 EGP for the ticket and he give me a student ticket 130 EGP, so I guess Viator owns me 6 Euros at least. We leave Aswan almost one hour late and only have 75 minutes to see both temples, next time I will go on my own no matter the taxi cost and stay there longer. Guide didn’t explain much as he also have less time to explain, if he explains more we have less time to enjoy the temples.
