The tour starts at the same exact time for thousands of tourists resulting in a crowd at Abu Simbel. The organization was good but they definitely need to rethink this about the time. Everyone from the tour company was kind

It’s a long day trip to Abu Simbel. But it’s worth it. This would be a 5 star review but when we were arriving back in Aswan the guide walked around the bus and confronted each traveller with an envelope saying he was collecting tips for the drivers. It defeats the purpose of tips when I felt pressured to give. I suppose that’s Egyptian culture. Tips are essentially a mandatory fee regardless of service.

Communication about pick up location and time was very last-minute, they also picked us 40 minutes later than scheduled. You only have a guide at the entrance of Abu Simbel, who explains the history of the place. But during the visit (which by the way is very short and rushing) you have no one explaining you the drawing on the walls, the meaning, and the symbolism of the place.

If you are in a cruise ship and set sail that day of the trip don't book it and not with this company Nice Tours. We were told pick up time was 0400, we didn't get pick up until 0500. When we arrived Abu Simbel the man with the driver (he's not a guide, he just checked on the people on his list to get in and out the bus) He didn't tell the people before leaving the bus that we have to be in the bus at 11:00 am. I have to asked him for the time we have to return. He just get said "let's go" when he stepped out of the bus. I am well aware that it's a shared tour bus. I have been to many shared tour before but never experienced a disorganized tour/trip. We went back to the bus at 10:50 and there's only 3 of us there. It's a full size bus, there's approximately 50+ people. We waited for 1 hour to leave and drove 4 hours without stopping to Aswan. We almost get left behind by the cruise ship. Our tour guide at the cruise ship told the captain and crew to wait for us, it was an inconvenience for the 110 people on the ship to wait 2 hours for us.

For us an absolute highlight of the trip to Egypt. Significantly easier to get to Abu Simbel with a booked tour because you don't have to worry about anything. The bus ride takes about 3-4h with a break, but you could sleep well on the bus. In Abu simbel, the guide joins us, who tells the story of the temples very entertainingly. It is true that the free visit time (1h) is a bit short and we could have stayed at the facility even longer, but the benefits outweigh a self-organized trip. Especially if you only stay in Aswan for a few days. Would recommend!

They are charging for the “free hotel pick up”, even if your hotel is shown as “within the area” in the pick up section. Best part? They are charging 10$ (500Egp pounds) per person, for tuk tuk that has an under age (12yo driver) and it’s originally cost around 1$ (50 Egp pounds). I am telling you this as Egyptian myself that even me they tried very very hard to charge me and I refused. Also they will threaten you that the bus won’t take you back if you don’t pay the amount and they will leave you in Abu simbel, with 3-4 guys surrounding you. Lastly you will be notified for the additional fees less than 8 hours before your trip with very very limited details, and they will respond every 15-30 minutes, even if they know that you are trying to sleep early for the trip (that starts at 4:00 am), that’s their way to press you until you accept the offer. But when you decide to not pay the amount, they will spam you with messages and they will be responding in seconds. If I was about to do it again, I would definitely choose something more expensive, at the end of the day I would have enjoyed more and have paid less. That was my experience. The choice is yours.

The reception was done on time at my hotel as well as the drop off at the desired place on the city of Aswan. The price is very competitive and time on site sufficient (1h30) The ride is also doable and one morning, even if the awakening is early (departure at 4am). The guide Maro is adorable and attentive to respond to any request. The driver Elary is also very nice and his driving is careful. I took the option with the guide and I do not regret. Ahmed's explanations were clear and made it easy to understand the history of the site. Serious tourist agency. I recommend with my eyes closed.

Scam alert: They texted us via WhatsApp night before the tour, and confirmed the location for pickup and time , that was 4 am. We waited for them from 4 to 6:30 am, called all their number, messaged the same WhatsApp, no answer, we paid and don't know should we book another tour and what if they deny to refund. Super scammy and unprofessional.

All good, punctual pickup, and good organization. Comfortable bus. Way to get to the temple easily

From Absimbel itself, it was very good. The bus was also comfortable, but the minus points were 2 points below ① Since the inn is outside the area, an additional 10������ was taken, but 10������ was taken too much on Tuk Tuk! ② There was no explanation on the way, the bus was stopped all the time, etc., and the scheduled return was greatly exceeded.
