Great value, great tour
Driver on time. Car clean. Loved Abu Simbel. Communication with company was excellent. Driver had very limited English but had enough and used google translate and it was all easy. Excellent price. He was not a guide, just a driver, which is all we wanted. Booked several things with Emo Tours and all were a great value and went well thank goodness. In general we have found it drama after drama in Egypt at large, but this was a great experience.

Impressive temples
Abul Simbel is magnificent. Both temples are impressive, but the Temple of Ramses II fulfill it's purpose to show the power of Ramses II.
Although it's a very long trip from Aswan, since it takes more than 7 hours (round trip), it's highly recommended.
Mariem was my tour guide and she was very helpful and explained many details about both temples.

Comfortable and safe
The driver was on time. He was very accommodating when a restroom was required. He was a fast driver but we felt very safe with him.

Excellent Aswan to Abu Simbel Tour!
My very learned guide Muhammad and skilled driver Hisham picked me up from my Viking cruise ship in a private car and gave me cool water. Muhammad gave me a clear briefing about our 3.5 hour drive to Abu Simbel. His English is superb. He’s also an able storyteller. Most importantly, he knew a lot about the geography, culture, and history of both ancient and modern Egypt. Hisham proved to be an equally able driver. Ever friendly and kind, Muhammad kept me well informed at every point of interest and gave me excellent background on Ramseses II, Neferteri, their family and their time. He clearly described the inside of the two great Abu Simbel temples, such that I wandered their chambers knowing what to discover. I’m grateful that Muhammad was my guide and I’d choose him again. I heartily recommend him. I also wholeheartedly recommend Hisham as a driver. Seek them when you’re in Aswan! -Pete (from Virginia).

Top notch with Samir
Samir was amazing! Samir provided a wealth of information as we traveled through the Saharan Desert toward the Abu Simbel temple. He wanted us to be fully educated on the history and significance of the temple. When we arrived and throughout the day Samir was concerned about our happiness and satisfaction. He went above and beyond to take pictures, share special refreshing drinks and provide support. Our driver Mohammed was an excellent driver - always on time. We are grateful for a terrific experience.

Excellent day!
The day began VERY early, but seeing the sunrise at the comfort stop en route was lovely! The temple was quite quiet when we arrived, but it had got incredibly busy by the time we left! The two drivers did a great job and our guide at Abu Simbel was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. It was very hot (no surprise there - it was in Egypt in August!), so a bottle of water and comfy, loose clothes/shoes are a must. Also, you MUST take a credit card for the temple pass and some extra cash for the drivers. Some people dropped off at their hotels before us gave no baksheesh to the drivers, which they were clearly disappointed by - it is only a fiver or so to us, but is worth much more to them, so be kind! We thoroughly enjoyed the day and we’re so grateful that the guide ensured we missed the crowd behind us by timing his “lecture” after we had seen the first temple.

Nice tour, long journey!
I went to Abu Simbel Temple with Emo Tour yesterday in a private tour. My guide was Samir, a very friendly guide, who made sure we would get to the temple before most of the tourists. We left our hotel at 4am and headed straight to the temple. It is a long long journey through the desert. Our driver was very experienced and knew how to deal with the road challenges (if you do not know, the trafic in Egypt is mad and scary sometimes. So, be prepared!).
The Temple is amazing, but the journey is very long.
