The two temples of Abu Simbel are beautiful but the journey is tiring given the 7 hours to spend by bus for about an hour and fifteen minutes of visiting the temples. More time should be given to admire the temples, also considering the crowds of people arriving more or less simultaneously. We also waited for the pick up for over 40 minutes compared to the time we had been notified

Everything was great, there was even a guide with us who we had not booked. The drive was relatively long but well endurable and you could sleep well.

Reading the comments the day before the tour I almost canceled, but didn't because it was too late for the refund. Thank god, this was great tour and nothing was so wrong as other said. My hotel was on the island and I choosed via whatsapp to come to starting point at 4am for free. Public ferry works all night and it cost 100egp. It took some time to pick up other people, and we got to Abu Simbel at 9:15, bought tickets, entered, got to the temples and there our guide Ahmed talked some 20min. After that we got 1:15 to enter temples and do whatever. It's enough, you can take it slowly. Long day, but 100% worth it. Don't forget you are going through the desert most of the time, so you have amazing views as well. I admit, they could be more organized and not send you the messages about pick up at 11pm night before, that was the only problem I had.

Bus pickup at the hotel was delayed for an hour. Even after arriving in the area, a person believed to be from a travel agency is unable to lead anything and becomes confused. They said they had a guide, but the one they met before entering disappeared when it was time to enter. There were about 20 participants, but we ended up taking a look inside each of them. The tour of the temple was also scheduled to last two hours, but in reality we only had about an hour and a half, and on our way back we were due to break up at 12pm, but it was 5pm when we returned to our hotel. I don't know what to evaluate.

The tour guide was a mess. People are still going to the bathroom, but they go first. There's no explanation for the meeting place or tickets. Specify your own meeting time and don't stick to it.

Asked our driver/guide’s WhatsApp number at 10:37 pm. No respnse. Went to bed. Waiting at 3:50 am at the hotel door. Realized that they sent a message at 11:06 pm that the pick up tjme was 3:20. Also realized that they sent a guide texted at 3:21 and 3:24 to inquire our whereabouts. They said they could not return to pick up us. Neither Viator nor the operator were willing to refund us. I explained that they should have called us instead of texting us. We were up and waiting in our room. No explanation other than they tried but we failed to show up. I wish they responded my inquiry by telling me to wait for pickup confirmation and that the driver/guide’s would have called us instead. Wish they were better at Communication. They asked for copies of passports twice, 10 days apart. Wish they were more organized. .

The drive each way was about 4+ hours. The pick up was well coordinated from our hotel at early morning about 4.30am. I could only wish we start little later to avoid huge crowds at abu simbel, as an hour after the visit when we are exiting we saw no one entering. This could give a better tour experience worth full for 8hr travel. We met the guide directly at the site.

Unfortunately, the tour was not well organized. We were informed that the meeting time was 4:00 PM, but the bus arrived at 5:00 PM with no prior communication or explanation. Additionally, the tour was advertised as a small group, but there were more than 20 participants. During the visit, we were given only brief explanations and then left to explore on our own, which did not meet our expectations. Overall, the experience could be improved with better organization, clearer communication, and a more professional approach.

The guided tour was not very informative as the guide only told things at the enterence of Abu Simbel and talked very quickly. We highly recommend you to take the non guided tour as the tour only includes taking you to Abu Simbel and then back to Aswan. The bus was old and was not comfortable, also at the website it says that there will be a small group but we travelled with a big bus. The tour started very early around 4 am and we came back around 3 pm, lunch is not included and there was no lunch break. It would be better if the tour started later and include a lunch break because the duration of the tour is very long.

Was told to meet at the dock at 345 am. Bus arrives at 4:15 am, with no communication at all. Bus finally leaves at 4:45 am. Only stayed at Abu simble for 1 hour. 8 hour ride for 1 hour activity, not worth it
