We had an Amazing tour in Abu Simbel Temple - The crews were very friendly, and accommodating. We went to Abu Simbel Temple It was breathtaking and beautiful. We were guided by very professional and amazing tour guides from San Simon Travel and Tourism. Love them

Mumtaz, excellent experience. - This was a perfect tour, air-conditioned the entire way on the bus. Nice and early start so I could get the best photos with no proplr in them. Very greatful!

Excelent - Hi, I recently ended, with great regret, a 3 day private trip to Aswan and Abu Simbel organized by SANSIMON TRAVEL AND TOURISM. I say "with great regret" because it was a wonderful trip and I wish it hadn't ended so quickly. It is true that it was quite difficult, because we started from Hurghada and the distance traveled by car was long, and I chose the most inappropriate time for such a trip, that is, in the middle of summer, when the temperatures are very high. But my guide, Sameh tried and even managed to ensure comfortable enough travel conditions for me, so that the distance and heat remained just details. I didn't have time to get bored on the way because Sameh has a lot of things to tell, not only about the sights we had on the schedule and the history of 3000 years ago, but also about the recent history of his country and about the people who are now achieving impressive things in Egypt, despite the strange conditions that nature offers. It was a pleasure to listen to him, because he talks with a lot of passion and a lot of love for his country and his people. In fact, the whole trip was a pleasure, because I achieved the main goal (visiting the temples and the dam), but I also had surprises along the way: accommodation in the Nubian village where you feel like in another world, the visit to the house with crocodiles, the felucca ride and the visit to the botanical garden and the sweetest and most fragrant mango I have ever eaten. Thanks Sameh for a great trip.

Good tour, excellent owner. - I feel the need to write two reviews in one. The first review is about the tour, and the second review is about the tour operator. The tour to Abu Simbel is straightforward. Like most, I got up early (3:30 a.m. in my case due to my hotel location) and took a car to meet a van that then drove a few hours to the temple complex. We ended up waiting a moderate amount of time for the van to meet us, but given police controls and other issues, I'm willing to let that pass. The temple is impressive. If you've already seen the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, you may be underwhelmed by the carvings, color, and relief, but it's still something to behold due to its size, scale, and the history and engineering behind how it was moved from where it would have been to submerged with the building of the high damn to the new/current site. My tour was supposed to be a private tour, but my tour guide engaged other individuals during the tour to include them for additional money, which was distracting and unpleasant, particularly given the short time typically available to visit the temples. Despite this, my tour guide had studied archaeology, and his passion for the topic was clear and enjoyable. He did a good job providing background, and I appreciated the excitement with which he answered questions. Tour experience: 4 stars. Now for the tour operator. Egypt Sansimon Travel and Tourism is awesome. Without going into too much detail, the fellow that runs it is an awesome guy. I'll say, somewhat sadly, that interactions with him are one of the few times in Egypt that I felt like somebody was doing something out of sincere care and desire to make a connection. I appreciated his kindness and his openness. Egypt Sansimon Travel and Tourism: 5 stars.

Amazing Abu Simbel - I really appreciated the organisation and the support via Whatsapp. We managed to arrive earlier than big groups and to enjoy the temple with less people.

Great visit to Abu Simbel - Good service, punctuality. The guide Mahmout was cordial and very professional. The drivers are also professional. Amazing experience.

Beautiful and far from everything. - One of the very beautiful historical sites of ancient Egypt, of course you have to drive 7 hours in the desert there and back, from Aswan

Great service, east trip - Super easy and convenient. We got there ahead of other tour groups so we had the temple to ourselves the first 20-30min!

Day trip to Abu Simbel - I was worried about the long journey to get to Abu Simbel, but was very pleased with the transport van they provided and was able to sleep through most of the journey there and back comfortably. Would recommend.

Good driving, terrible guide - Good - The 7 hours of driving was calm and safe - The price advertised is what we paid - Pickup from our hotel was on time Bad - The guide was utterly useless - he spent 10mins with us total out of 2 hours - he only stood outside - spoke so fast I could hardly keep up - he went through photos so quickly they were a blur
