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.

Amazing day trip to Abu Simbel - Amazing day trip to Abu Simbel temples! Such amazing history brought to life by our guide Mustafa who explained all the history, answered all our questions and was happy to take pics for us. All done at a nice leisurely pace so not rushed at all. Followed by a nice lunch at a local restaurant.
A long drive but comfortable and well worth it, and a smooth journey by our lovely driver George who explained some bits about local customs and living as we passed through various villages.
And felt well looked after by Marina at Nice Tours who checked in before and during the day to ensure things were running well.
Abu Simbel definitely worth the effort, a long day from Luxor but didn’t feel like it as we were so well looked after by all involved, definitely recommended

Cozy long drive to Abu Simbel - Fortunately, we found the right tour company to help us save time and complete our long ride from Luxor to Abu Simbel within a day. Our private cab driver, Gurges (English name: George), had a jolly nature and spoke English, which made it easier for us to choose a delicious lunch and learn about Egypt’s irrigation and energy production projects. Abu Simbel is a must-visit location, and we were glad we didn’t miss it.

Private 2-Day All Inclusive Tour from Hurghada - We had 2 great days. Thanks to Maria, our guide, Maria read us hieroglyphics, we told the story!
It was great! We made the tour of both banks, the felucca and the balloon flight. A camel ride was planned and paid but we had already done some so we could not go. I recommend you to go with Nice tours. Thanks also to Ahma our driver.

A Fantastic Day Trip to Abu Simbel from Luxor - I had an amazing day trip to the Abu Simbel temples from Luxor! Marina from Nice Tours ensured that the trip was extremely well planned and comfortable. The drive was really scenic through the Sahara Desert and my driver was extremely friendly. The temples were spectacular with their ancient charm and scenic views of Lake Nasr. My guide Ahmed explained the history really well. After the visit, I had an authentic Egyptian lunch, which was well arranged by Nice Tours. I would definitely recommend this day trip for anyone visiting Luxor.

One of the best cities in Egypt for history learning - Awesome city to visit, loads of history there! Our guide, Ahmed Anwer was the best! He participated on local and foreing missions for egypt history, and he brought an interesting perspective about Egypt culture during our trip. Totally recommend it!

Great driver, amazing temple - We chose to start our trip at 4:30 AM from our hotel in East Luxor, covering almost 500 kilometers to the temple. The navigation estimated that the journey would take around six to six and a half hours, though another guide mentioned it could be closer to 7-8 hours. We were pleasantly surprised when the trip only took five hours. The car, a comfortable minivan, provided plenty of space, and the company also supplied us with snacks and a gift for the journey.
Upon arrival, we waited about 10 minutes for our guide. He provided some information about the temple, shared historical photos, and then gave us about an hour of free time. However, we felt that having a guide wasn’t necessary since they are not allowed inside the temples. The guided portion lasted only around 20 minutes. With just 30 minutes of prior reading and research, you could easily explore the site on your own and save money.
The return trip to the hotel was also pleasant, taking approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes. The driver, though he did not speak English, was very friendly, and we appreciated his safe and efficient driving. We gave him a well-deserved tip, which made him very happy.

Unjustifiably long journey - The place is great, definitely recommend going. We had problems with the trip, which started at 4.30am (the appointment was at 4am!).
It also said that the trip would take 7 hours, while the outward journey lasted 8.5 hours (+0.5 hours for the delay to departure). The inexplicable thing for me was the choice to go through Esta, Ednu, etc. to get to Aswan. Slow road with endless bumps that force you to brake every 500 meters. I discovered (me alone) from Google Maps that there is instead a west side road that connects Aswan to Luxor! In fact, it took us less than 7 hours to return. I also didn't know if lunch was included, the person in charge of Nice in the morning at the hotel had assured me yes, but we had to provide ourselves... a bit of organizational chaos! Good driving to Abu Simbel.
