Great car and driver, it felt like a safe way to reach Abu Simbel.
Great driver and great car which were the main objective for us.
We got picked up at 7am which worked well to avoid night driving. Site was busy for the first 30min but then cleared when people flying in had to leave.
The driver was really nice and accomodating when we had pre-selected a lunch place we wanted to go to.
Guide on site was not the best so get information ahead of time if you would like to learn more about the site.
Overall it was a great tour and the site is really beautiful!

Great day in Abu Simbel
Michael organised for us a day trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan. We had a great time and managed to beat the crowd by following his advice on timing. Special shout-out to our driver Saíd who was safe and nice.

Highly recommend!!
Visiting the Abu Simbel Temples was an extraordinary experience. The trip was well-organized, with a punctual start, comfortable transportation, and a knowledgeable guide. Our guide, Pishoy, shared fascinating insights about Ramses II, the temple’s relocation, and its stunning carvings. The seamless logistics and expert storytelling made the visit truly memorable. Though slightly pricey, the exceptional service and rich historical context provided great value. I highly recommend this tour for an unforgettable journey through history.

Scam! Avoid at all cost!
We paid €375 for what was advertised as a “luxury” day trip to Aswan, and it was an absolute disappointment from start to finish. First of all, the actual tour itself lasted less than 3 hours, instead of the 9 hours advertised. It also didn’t include the city tour that was promised, or the limousine with internet. It didn’t include lunch, just some unhealthy chips that no one ate. All this makes this entire experience feel like a massive rip-off.
On every other tour we’ve taken in Egypt, the guide stayed with us for the entire duration of the trip, including during car rides, answering questions and providing context. This tour was advertised as a “full day guided trip”, but the guide barely spent time with us (wasn’t in the car, wasn’t in the temple, just 15 mins before it and that’s it). It was misleading at best, and outright false advertising at worst.
Frankly, I have no idea how you can justify charging this much for such an inferior service. I escalated this conflict with Michiel, the tour coordinator who doesn’t even reply to our messages. Avoid this tour if you want to save your time, money, and sanity.

First-rate experience
This was an excellent experience all around. Helpful, timely and responsive pre-event communication. On-time pick up at our ship. Mina is a knowledgeable, informative and personable guide. Our driver was careful and competent. The car was clean and safe. Snacks and bottled water were thoughtfully provided. We expected to love the temples at Abu Simbel and we did!! They are an absolute marvel. What surprised us was how much we enjoyed seeing and learning about the countryside on the drive to and from Aswan. It was fascinating and well explained by Mina. This day was a real highlight of our time in Egypt. We highly recommend this experience.

A magnificent site, well worth the trip,
An outstanding trip! The driver drove safely. The car was clean, comfortable, and almost brand-new. We chose an 8am start time, which put us at Abu Simbel well after the large masses of cruise travelers left. It's a long trip but well worth it.

Clean Vehicles
We arrived at the appointment place on time and helped us with our sudden change of schedule! Also, his car was clean and well-maintained among the cars in Egypt so we could have a comfortable trip~!

Well worth the time.
It was a fabulous experience. Michael was a marvelous guide and as far as Egyptian drivers go Hany was the best. It’s a long drive, 3.5 hours one way but the car was new, comfortable and of course air conditioned! Michael was very knowledgeable about the temples and even stopped on the way back to our boat to shop. He came to our boat to pick us up and drop us off, very appreciated. Thanks for a great day.

Great experience in Aswan
My experience with Mick in Aswan was amazing!
Mick explains very well about the ancient and current history of Egypt. He is patient to explain and has a great English.
At the Philae temple he explained the punches that could be given, and that made us safer.
I highly recommend the trip with him!!
