The pickup was on time...

The pickup was on time and the van was quite clean and cozy with security belt. One thing that should be more clear is the fact that the price of the entrance ticket to Abu Simbel was not included and was mandatory, I thought that ticket was optional to go inside the temple not to see the temple from outside.

For the price, this tour...

For the price, this tour is definitely worth it! It was one of the few tours I did in a group and the site is pretty awesome. It’s a long drive there and back, so be prepared for that. The stop at a coffee shop is meh, but you’re in the middle of the desert at like 6am - beggars can’t be choosers. The guide was good - it wasn’t too long, but added to the experience. There was also sufficient time to explore and take pictures. If you want a ton of history, you may want a private guide. But if you want something quick and dirty and/or focus more on the visuals, this tour will do the trick. The car guide wrangled us as needed, but was there basically for logistics. I’m glad I went and would recommend to others - met some cool people on the tour too.

Awesome!

Friendly staff and comfortable ride (although a bit too adventurous on the road). Guide Mohammed Ibrahim was very professional and provided us with valuable information!

Great day trip to Abu Simbel with just driver.

We booked this day trip with Nice tours a couple of weeks before the tour. They were very friendly and communicative. On the day of the tour, the driver arrived pick us up at the hotel on time (3:45am) and he drove us to Abu Simbel. There, he gave us 2 hours to visit around (which is more than enough) and drove us back to the hotel. He was friendly and his car was very clean and A/C was working. It was a pleasant drive. I would definitely recommend this tour.

You’re given enough time...

You’re given enough time at the temple. Also the communication was great. Will accommodate you if you changed hotel like I did.

Great tour. Recommend!

Wonderful day. Everything went smoothly. They were punctual and the minibus was comfortable with soft seats and good a/c. The tour guide was great. Very informative. Would’ve liked a little more time to shop for souvenirs. Price was great. Would recommend. We left at 4am from Aswan and returned at 130p.

Not to be missed

The drivers are excellent, we arrived first and had the temple of Ramses all to ourselves.
