Zero 🌟 Not at all worth!

Zero star 🌟 for this one. Pick-up 315-345am. They made us wait for 45 mins at some random location. Approx. 7 to 8 hrs total drive and you get to spend just 1 hour in the temple. Guide gives you all the information for 15 mins outside the temple which i barely understood coz of heavy accent. They wont even stop for even 15 mins for you to rest or to take quick bites and rush to take you back. Cab AC was also not working well while coming back. This tour is simply not worth the time and energy. Choose a tour that allows you to spend at least 2 hrs inside the temple and around the vicinity. One thing i truly detest about Egypt not just here but mostly all the sightseeing places that they charge for TOILETS!!! Toilets thats broken and not even maintained well and for such little service, they expect TIPS!!

essential excursion

get up very "morning" but it's worth it to be very early in front of the temple, before the heat erases all

Very well organized tour with a fantastic guide

Very well organized tour with a fantastic guide Left at 3:30 am our guesthouse at elephantine Island (they come to catch you) and returned around 2 pm. Had several stops during the trip, for toilets and food

Abu Simbel visit

contacts by whatsapp and support went very well. Visit without sufficient guide except for history addicts! At least a price that defies competition with an excellent value for money

Great day trip.

I'm solo trip, wanted to get from Aswan to Abu Simbe and didn't bother looking for a carpool, so I tried booking a day trip on Tripadvisor, but the experience was very good! I had booked this trip in advance at home, and after landing in Cairo I was worried about how to contact Nice tour. I didn't expect Nice tour to reach me on whatsapp ahead of time and place for the pick-up. At 3:30 a.m., the tour guide arrived on time and this time our small group consisted of only four people. The car was new and the driver was fast and steady. We got to Abu Simbe at about 8:30, and had originally agreed with our guide to hang out for two hours and gather at 10:30. As a result, the four of us in our group ended up hanging out for only an hour and a half, and returned to Aswan at 1:30 p.m. I was scheduled to take the bus from Aswan to Luxor at 5.30pm and had been worried that I would not make it, but there was more than enough time. Here's where we focus on complimenting our guide. The tour guide was a gentleman, very, very polite throughout, without any sales pitch or uncomfortable moves, and people were very happy.

Wonderful Walk

Excellent experience, the guide Hazem was wonderful, explained everything perfectly. We love everything and are thinking about coming back. I recommend hiring Nice Tour was all perfect. Attention 5 stars.

A good organized tour

The pick up was right on time and the whole trip felt well organized from start to finish. We had around an hour to explore both temples, which was plenty to take everything in without feeling rushed. The short explanation about Ramses II and Nefertari really added context and made the visit more meaningful. Overall, it was definitely worth the price.

Excellent transportation

Super punctual and professional service. Although we did not hire the guide, they provided us with basic and general information to understand the temple. Thank you very much.

Abu Simbel is once in a lifetime experience

A marvel of engineering and truly an awe inspiring moment for me. Both the temples are brilliant and the ride through the Egyptian desert is an experience too.
