It is a very long trip from Aswan, but fortunately my driver was very kind at all times. Despite not speaking either Spanish or English, we were able to communicate using an app. We got stuck due to a flat tire, which apparently is common because of the road conditions, but fortunately I had a spare tire. Now, I give 4 stars because at the last minute they changed my Spanish guide for another in English, apparently because the Spanish guide suffered a calamity. I clarify that the English guide was excellent (I think his name was Hanny), but I would have preferred that the contingency had been covered with a Spanish guide. I have nothing to say about the temples, other than that they are a must-visit.

Great personal service from Magdi. Great information along the drive to Abu Simbel. Even gave us lunch hints. Highly recommend his comfortable and quick service.

Very good experience overall. We took the ride on a large van, and there are two drivers rotating as driver. It’s well air conditioned and the ride was smooth. The guide at Abu Simbel Honey was amazing! Explained things well and left us as much time as we want to explore. The recommended lunch spot with fish dishes is descent, though do be aware when paying since the restaurant to charge me of what the drivers ordered.

Hany, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. There were no issues, the whole experience was enjoyable. We were picked up in a clean and spacious mini van - would recommend.

Awful experience.I booked the ITALIAN tour the day before the excursion because my mother doesn't speak english (this tour is one of the few with this option and therefore even more expensive). I receveid the confirmation and no other details from the host. On the way to AbuSimbel, about 25 min. from the arrival, I got a messagge from the organiser saying the italian guide was sick and couldn't show up. I could do an english tour at the same cost or get a refund less than 30€, which is the cost for the guide. Viator assistance couldn't do anything more and I was already on the place, 300km away from my hotel. We had no other option than taking the partial refund and do the excursion on ourself. Very bad treatment. The organiser also told me: "you booked last minute...", for sure he couldn't provide an italian tour but instead of warning us on the booking day, he waited at the last so that we woulnd't have lost the whole reservation. He could have paid the entrance tickets for us at least, it would have been appreciated but when I asked, he refused several times. Viator has done nothing more: when you book no protection as customer but you submit cancellation policy deadlines, so do not use Viator; use other tours platforms that are a lot cheaper. AbuSimbel guided tour doesn't worth the price, just get a taxi and visit it on your own.

We were a group of 8 on a Viking RiverCruise. The excursion to Abu Simbel did not have enough plane seats available for all of us so we booked the day through Viator. We were connected with Omar, our tour guide from Black Dragon Tours. He did a fabulous job. Excellent historical knowledge and a joy to travel with. We had a private 8 person tour in a comfortable van that drove us 3 hrs to the temples. Yes a plane ride is much quicker but would have had to sit in the airport waiting for 2 hrs to leave so we arrived at the site at least 45 min before them. It was quite interesting driving thru the Sahara dessert and learned quite a bit about it. We arrived safely about 10:00 AM and had the entire place to ourselves!! Not a single person in the temples with us. As we were finishing up the groups from out boat that flew were just arriving. The point is we saved $400 per person on the same excursion, had the best experience at the temples and arrived back only 30 min after everyone else. This is a great alternative. Request Omar he’s wonderful!!

Only drivers are requested without a guide or food or drink. The comfortable, air-conditioned car, and driver Hany's safe driving and care made it easy to travel long hours in hot weather. Communication through WhatsApp is smooth, and there is no problem meeting outside the designated pickup location. Hany was very resourceful. The price is not cheap, but it is recommended for those who want to travel as stress-free as possible.

Amazing experience. Driver was great and communicated very well. I would highly recommend this tour. We actually started at 9 AM because we wanted to eat breakfast and it was enough time. When we got there, it was after all the tour buses left so there was only a few people there. This was in May 2026

We had a fantastic experience with Mick and his team! We had originally booked a day tour to Abu Simbel, but had a change of plans a few days before the trip (we decided to spend a night in Abu Simbel and drive directly to Luxor the following day), and Mick arranged everything for us. Our driver, Magdy, took very good care of us during the long trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel and the following day from Abu Simbel to Luxor. He's a very safe driver, knows his way around the desert, and he's always ready to go the extra mile to make the trip as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Needless to say, you can't save on safety when driving so many hours in Egypt, so this trip was totally worth the money! We can't recommend them enough, and we'll definitely book with them again the next time!
