Recommended tour with a very knowledgable tour guide - We had a great experience on the Abu Simbel tour and would highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking a Private tour + Guide to this amazing place. Samir who was our guide was extremely knowledgable to took the time to explain everything in great detail. As no tour guides were allowed inside the temples and it was extremely hot outside, Samir spent time on the drive there explaining everything, which allowed us to go straight to the sites and look at everything properly without having to stand outside in the sun. At no part of this tour did we ever feel rushed. Samir provided us with as much time as we wanted to explore the temples as much as we wanted. Ahmed who was our driver was also very professional and took care of us during out trip.

Great tour - highly recommend! - Driver and guide were on time and we arrived to the site before it was extremely crowded. It is a long drive from Aswan, roughly 3 hours, but you can sleep or relax during the drive time. The guides cannot come in and talk in the temples, but she walked us to the entrance and provided detailed information with pictures. We were given an hour to explore, might need 1.5 if it is extremely busy. Instead of just taking us to shops like some other guides, she asked what we would like to do and did not put pressure on us if we didn't want to go perfume shops, etc. They also did customize it to our liking and let us stop at an electronics store and a safe ATM. We did not feel rushed overall. I would recommend this tour!

Great ride, the driver... - Great ride, the driver played music in our language, covered windows to avoid sunlight while driving through the desert. He made us feel comfortable in such a long ride.

Great experience - Samir is a kind person who went and above and beyond as our guide in Aswan. Hamo, our driver for all of needs in Aswan, was also kind, helpful, and wonderful. Samir shared quite a bit of information with us regarding the historical landmarks in Egypt. He also spoiled us with snacks and treats during our tours with him. While he was not able to enter the temples with us, he provided us with a map to guide us in everything there is to see in the temples. Both gentlemen made us feel comfortable and safe during our visit in Aswan.

Great day trip to Abu Simbel - Great trip. We had the comfort of our own car. The guide Samir explained everything in detail during the drive and gave us a map of the temple for us to find our way around. He got us through the queues and made everything easy and enjoyable. It’s a little pricey for what you get but worth the extra money

Good, but… - We have rated this experience with a 3/5 because of the following reasons: - it is too far, you will spend 6 hours in a car. 3 hour going and 3 hours returning. - the guide was nice he explained us everything but he always tried to sell us other tours and he was very annoying at the end. - the lunch was awful, the place was in a very dirty and abandoned street, don’t book this tour with lunch. Instead try to go with your own food. - the driver was awful too, he drove very fast, passing other cars. At one moment we had to ask him to slow down. On the other hand: - Abu Simbel is a treasure and if you like ancient Egyptian culture you will love it. You will only spend 1 hour and a half or two so be prepared for this. - we left from Aswan at 8:00 and we arrived there by 11:20. The most part of the tourist groups were already gone so it was nice to see the temples with less people around.

Never again with them and with viator - Very sad I had this bad experience with them, I booked a visit to the temples with private car and guide and entrance ticket included. But when we reached the temples they refused to recognize that and I had to repay for the entrance to the temples. In my reservation it was clearly written it was included. Unfortunately very poor assistance from viator too, I tried to fill a complain and send them the picture of my ticket where it clearly shows entrance tickets were included but they refused to refund me. I will never use viator again!!
