Wasted time and beat up my back
He showed up late, took the local roads (harrowing) instead of the highway, and made us go to a hard sell family shop after we declined. The tour included lunch, but he charged us 400 egp when it cost him 200. We tipped him well and had to just throw money at the problem so we could part company. Rough day unnecessarily. Could have saved 1.5 hours driving on normal roads instead of through the middle of every village.

Gorgeous trip
Excellent driver, nice guide who gave us all information in the car. That was a clever idea. Well prepared before we got to the gorgeous site! Guide also arranged for lunch in a local restaurant. Delicious food was served. Thank you. Long trip completely worth it.

Great private tour with guide
We were picked up bang on time and met by our guide who was super friendly. The drive was easy and we loved Abu Simbel. Thanks!

Fun day tour at abu simbel
We had booked a trip from Aswan to Abu Simbell. Tour started at 4am and we reached around 8. We did spend around 2 hours at the place.
Our agent Kerollos Osama was very helpful.

Mañana en Abu simbel desde Aswan
El templo es increíble, nosotros fuimos el día que te recomiendan no ir que es el jueves cuando los cruceros van pero no había otra forma de hacerlo.
El guía fue bueno sabía del tema y tuvimos tiempo de tomar fotos.
Es algo caro para lo que dura la actividad pero fue lo mejor que encontramos y te evitas de líos

Buen viaje pero mal guía
La visita estuvo correcta. Costo bastante definir el punto de recogida per finalmente el conductor pudo venir a recogernos a nuestro hotel a pesar de que se encontraba en una ubicacion mas remota. El viaje comodo y seguro. El guia la verdad que deficiente, mostro poco interes en la explicacion en español. Recomiendo siempre coger los guias en habla inglesa.

Bellissima esperienza
La macchina era comoda e l'autista ha guidato bene, siamo riusciti ad arrivare presto quindi prima degli autobus pieni di persone e ci siamo potuti godere il tempio in tranquillità e fare tante foto.

Good driver service, but short stay in Abu Simbel
We booked driver-only service and had on-time pick up at 4:30 AM and safe driving to Abu Simbel. Driving is good and safe. The road through the desert opens at 5 AM, so we reached temples area by 8:45 AM. We were told to meet at 10:45 AM to drive back. Then we started queuing for the ticket and entrance - it takes at least 20-30 minutes! Luckily we bought tickets from a kind local for cash without a queue (same price) and queued for entrance for like 20 minutes, otherwise it could take an hour! Then we had only 1.5 hour for the temples, which are ridiculously crowded and 1.5 hours is barely enough to explore them and the area. So we came back to the driver by 10:45 AM and he said we drive back to Aswan. WHAAAT? I thought the stay in Abu Simbel will be 3 hours? Where is stop for lunch? Where is 3 hours in Abu Simbel, instead of 2 with a queue? VERY SHORT STAY IN ABU SIMBEL! Please, allow tourist 3-4 hours there, not mere 2, or at least allocate this 1 hour for lunch! Luckily we had snacks and there is coffee/toilet stop in a desert. Came back to Aswan by 3 PM super hungry! 8 hours of driving and barely 1.5 hours seeing temples. Okay, at least managed to see Aswan more that day. Just please give more time for next tourists there, otherwise way too rush.
PS: driver speaks 0 English, but drives safely and good and doesn't ask for tips.

Abu simbel
El viaje estuvo bien, nos pasaron a buscar en el horario acordado y llegamos a abu simbel en un buen tiempo. Lo q hizo q la excursión sea un 3 de 5 fue el guía q nos esperaba en el templo, dio una explicación muy breve y en un español muy pobre, no recuerdo si nombre, iba caminando siempre adelante nuestro, apurado, corriendo para terminar la visita. No se esmero en brindarnos informacion y conocimientos. Los templos valen la pena ser visitados
