The driver arrived on time at the agreed pick up point and drove very smoothly to Abu Simbel, inspite of the road conditions. Abu Simbel itself is fantastic and worth the over 3 hour drive (one way) from Aswan. Not sure if we were just lucky but we arrived around 11:30 and many of the large tour groups had left so not so crowded. We had a private taxi driver which was great.

We had a wonderful experience at Abu Simbel, all thanks to our guide Ahmed. We had a smooth pick up and drop. The quality of the car was also good. The driver also drove very well and was safe. Ahmed explained us the history and significance of the temples. He was patient, friendly, and ensured we had enough time to explore, take photos, and absorb the beauty of this magnificent site. Highly recommend to anyone visiting!

Perfect day trip to Abu Simbel. Picked up at our boat in Aswam at 8 am by Rom. Excellent driver and clean, comfortable car. Returned by 5 pm. Missed the crowds. Abu Simbel is beautiful and worth the detour. Everything seamless. Highly recommend

The car was very comfortable and our driver was friendly and careful. The egyptologist in Abu Simbel gave some basic information, but I would have liked more context. It was hard to ask specific questions without extra context. Satisfactory overall, but not excellent.

Hany Amir took us in an excellent vehicle and was explaining everything about the road, including story about Sudan and Egypt

Excellent tour. The driver was on time and the car was very comfortable as well as the journey. The guide did a great job explaining things outside the temple. Guides are not allowed to go in the temple, but he gave us a great description along with where to find things, and we were able to pop out to ask him questions. I also really appreciated the company allowing us to start a bit later at 930am. The car was completely private. The driver drove in a safe manner, the water and snack was provided as advertised and we got to enjoy a quiet ride.

Excellent EXCEPT there is NO LUXURY LIMO, which we paid extra for. Our knees were pressed against the back seat of the Mitsubishi Expander. My husband is 6'2" and I am 5'11". This was the only vehicle used for a two person private tour, per the tour operator. There is no luxury limo. Bait and switch? We paid the extra $60.00 charge for the "limo", which does not exist. We did not expect an "American style limousine". We did expect a comfortable car we would fit in, for the 6+ hours ride. The tour operator has told me twice he will not refund the difference. From the tour operator "This is what everyone recommended as an MVP car, not a van. This is the largest for 2 ppl". Even though the tour we purchased said "Luxury Limo", that does not exist and apparently neither does the extra $60 we paid. Our driver and guide were excellent! Omar (guide) and Hany (driver). Omars knowledge was exceptional. He allowed the appropriate amount of time at each site and explained everything we were seeing. Our driver knew the roads impeccably! I would very highly recommend the tour but I would not recommend the luxury limo upgrade. It doesn't exist.

Our driver Hany provided outstanding service for our private tour from Aswan to Abu Simbel. He arrived early for pickup and maintained excellent communication via WhatsApp throughout the booking process. The professionalism was evident from start to finish - he came prepared with complimentary snacks and water for the journey, which was much appreciated given the distance. What elevated the experience was his knowledge of the region’s history. He shared fascinating insights about the landscape and sites we passed, making the long drive engaging and educational. He also demonstrated good judgment in selecting rest stops, choosing locations that were clean and well-stocked so I could stretch my legs and grab additional refreshments as needed. For anyone planning the Abu Simbel trip from Aswan, I highly recommend booking a private tour with Hany. The convenience, comfort, and added historical context made it well worth it.

Hany was our driver and the car was clean and comfortable. He drives safely and you can sleep with no worry. He speaks good English and had been very helpful and knowledgeable. We had our luggage lost for 3 days from Egypt Air and he went all the way to help chasing and checking with the airline. The tour guide for Abu Simbel organized by this company is very professional and speaks good English (at least for this trip of ours). Hany also helped to organize driver and guide service for our Aswan to Luxor day transfer visiting Kom Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple the day after. He helped us with getting cash in Egypt. Thank you Hany! The driver Ramy for our trip to Luxor also drives stably and helped with calling the airline for us. Also very clean and comfortable car. Would highly recommend Hany and Ramy if you need a driver. Water and snacks were given to us.

We were led by Hany. He is a good driver, with a comfortable car. He is very friendly and was like a guide the whole way. He brought us to a very good restaurant. He listened to all our requests. (Thank you again Hany) As for the guided tour, it should be noted that guides are never allowed to accompany us inside temples. So the explanations are given outside, it lasts between 10 and 15 minutes. After taking information, it’s the same situation regardless of the site you’re visiting. So if you have already made some temples in Luxor, you do not have to take a guide for abu simbel because for us there has been no new information.
