Great experience! - This was a great trip! At first I balked at the 4am pickup, but that's definitely the way to do this. I slept a lot in car on the way and back, and we had a good 2 hours to see the temples and still make it back in the early afternoon in Aswan (before it got too hot - and still time to do another activity). The ride was smooth, and the drivers were fun and excellent. We made 1 stop each way at a rest stop. The guide was great, too, although his role was limited because guides are not permitted in the temples, so he had to give us a spiel before we went into each one. That said, the temples are not that cavernous, and we were not on our own that much -- just enough time to wander and take photos. The temples are truly amazing, and this is a "must do" for anyone traveling Egypt. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour.

Great experience - We had excellent service from the beginning to the end from Excellent tour. They made sure before during and after our trip that everything went fine. We also found private car transfer from Aswan to Luxor with them. All went perfect again. Thank you for your service

To see - The agency contacted us several times to organize the tour in the best possible way. Drivers were punctual and cautious in driving. They picked us up and took us back to the hotel. On the spot we found the Italian guide, Alessandro, who explained the history of the site. The explanation was brief to allow us to shoot in the two strokes independently. I bought tickets directly on the official Egyptian website and didn't have to queue at the box office. Abu Simbel is impressive and is definitely worth a visit, despite the 7 hour trip, there and back.

All right. - Very good experience. We were picked up directly at the cruise reception in a mini bus which was very comfortable. The drivers did not know Spanish but then in destination we were waiting for a guide in Spanish who accompanied us to make the tour and explained the story very well. I highly recommend the tour

Abu Simbel - excellent organization - Booked the trip on short notice but Excellent Tour got in touch with us right away to clarify all details of the tour. Driver picked us up at 4am (Arab time which is 20 minutes behind German time) and drove us to Abu Simbel savely. On our way back Excellent tour made sure that we would catch our cruise. Nice contact and great organization.

Abu Simbel is absolutely... - Abu Simbel is absolutely worth the long drive and this tour gets you there and back, with a coffee stop halfway and time to see the site and grab a drink or snack at the end. Both drivers were great!
