Incredible trip to Abu Simbel for group
The tour was unforgettable. Tour company pickup our group (10 people) at 4:30am on time at cruise port area. The guide Samir Gaber was very knowledgeable and passionate, making experience even more enriching. He was friendliness and excellent organizational skills. He sent us back to cruise before cruise ship departure. We had wonderful trip and highly recommend to friends.

Astounding Abu Simbel
Abu Simbel was simply amazing! We were delighted by our tour with Mahmoud Nour (and Egypt Tours Portal) to this incredible site. It was as marvelous as I'd hope the day would be. Mahmoud explained things so well and was so fun and friendly. The statues and temples were incredible. I highly recommend this tour and our guide Mahmoud!

Just meh. Would not hire again.
The car was somewhat old, the driver was decent, but the guide was unnecessary and felt rushed. While he shared some information, it wasn’t worth the cost. Since guides aren’t allowed inside the temples, I didn’t find the tour worthwhile. On a separate tour, I hired a different driver for the same price, but with a new SUV. Maybe your experience will depend on who this company decides to hire.

Best guide I had in Egypt: Ambr/ Emo Tours.
I took this Tour with Ambr, a guide working for Emo Tours. Ambr was on time. Super professional. The best guide our of the 10 guides in private tours I took in 2 weeks in Egypt. He was THE real deal. An Encyclopedia, with a wealth of information, dates, curiosities and little details that only an exceptionally good guide can give you. I loved Ambr's tempo on how he guided me on the Tour. Not too fast, not too slow. Precise. Clear English, and lots of spelling on the difficult names of the Gods, Kings and Pharaohs, which was awesome. Ambr understands that a good guide starts when you get into the car, and finishes at the end , when you get out of the car. So, he gave me a ton of complementary information even on Egypt's story, the Grand Dam, the British small dam, the plantations developed close to Abu Simbel, i. e. , a TON of super interesting information. He had pictures on what the highlights were and even a plant of Temple itself. He explained to me AHEAD OF TIME what to do there, which saved me a ton of time when we got there. A complete overview on the sites for me to visit, we visited, what to expect, highlights, etc. I strongly recommend this Tour, and I strongly recommend Ambr as a FIVE Star super good guide for it. Actually, do better: get him for as many Tours as you can. You are gonna Love It !!!!!!

Do not hesitate - just book!
The organizer contacted us well in advance to prepare the paperwork for the checkpoints: as such the trip was super efficient. The driver arrived before the scheduled pick up time, spoke good English and was most courtious. By the way: don’t be afraid to book the 9 am pick up! It still gives you plenty of time and you skip the crowds.

Car to Abu Simbel
The day was dark when we were picked up and had little sightseeing on the trip out. This was fine as we were still tired from the previous day and the idea of a 3 hour car trip was not a big deal. There was one stop on the way. Driver spoke little or no English again which was fine. The guide was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions prior to entering the area. Tickets were provided along with historical information. We took the golf cart to the sight (1 US dollar) and saved us a bit of a walk. Lots of time to wander between the 2 temples. Our trip out was actually quicker than our colleagues who flew. They had to go to the airport 2 hours in advance and endure security checking. Our total cost was less than $300 cdn including coffee and tips compared to more than $600pp for our friends flying. Felt it was a good deal and would recommend it.

日本から来ました!
7時に空港ピックアップでアブシンベル神殿に行きたかったのでこちらを頼みました!
ドライバーが少し遅れて来たので到着時いなくて焦ったが無事合流。
3時間走って1時間見て3時間走ってアスワン駅まで送ってもらいました。
車はとても綺麗で寝てました。ドライバーは良い人だしチップのおねだりも一切なかったので気持ち良くチップあげれました。

Impressive site, disappointing guide
Abu Simbel is an impressive temple complex and worth a visit. The tour went smoothly and were very responsive to us confirming timing and details.
Our one problem with the tour was the tour guide (Mostafa). Having travelled three hours to the site we felt rushed and our guide tried to hurry us back to the car after only 1hr 20mins saying he had another tour. On top of this the information he gave us was less detailed than a wikipedia article and was rushed. He actively made our experience worse. We eventually asked him to leave us alone so we could enjoy the site.
A disappointing element to an other wise good visit. If you want to visit I would suggest just arranging a driver with your hotel. It would be much cheaper!

Ein fast perfekter Tag - Vorsicht vor der Touristenfalle am Schluss
Es ist eine lange Fahrt von Assuan aber ein Besuch in Abu Simbel lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Wir hatten einen ausgesprochen netten englishsprachigen Fahrer der uns viel über die Kultur und die Gegend erzählt hat. Wir waren 3 Frauen, der Fahrer war stets respektvoll, ist zügig und sicher gafehten (Anfahrt ca 3h). Wir sind um 8:00 gestartet, was eine gute Zeit war, da die meisten Besucher bei unserer Ankunft wieder den Tempel bereits wieder verließen und die Nachmittagsbesucher noch nicht hier waren.
Den Führer haben wir vor Ort getroffen, er war sehr freundlich und hat uns viele Infos zur Tempelanlage gegeben und alle Fragen beantwortet. Nach einem Rundgang mit ihm hat er uns dort verabschiedet, sodass wir frei waren die Tempel noch selbst zu erkunden.
Das All inclusive Paket ist natürlich etwas teurer aber dafür muss man sich wirklich im nichts kümmern, das inkludiert Mittagessen in Abu Simbel war sehr gut.
Das einzige das den Tag am Ende trübte war die abschließende Fahrt zur Touristenfalle (Gewürzmarkt /Parfumherstellung),wo sie Gewürze zu so überteuerten Preisen anbieten, das man sie besser zu Hause kauft.
Allerdings kann man die Fahrt dorthin auch ablehnen - mein Tipp: lässt euch gleich wieder zum Hotel oder woanders hinbringen und meidet diesen Ort!
Schade, denn ansonsten war es ein toller Tag.
