Henys tour to Abu Simbel
Amazing trip to Aswan with Hany. He was the best tour guide we had — truly made our luxury experience a 10/10.
We travelled in a beautiful, comfortable vehicle and he shared so much informative and interesting knowledge along the way.
Heny went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and we felt safe, well looked after, and completely relaxed the whole time.
I would highly recommend him for any tour. He’s reliable, friendly, and genuinely a great person.
Thank you from both of us — we had the best time

I reviewed all the Trip advisor options and the best by far
Tour managed very well the truth, if I had to repeat I would do it with them without a doubt and see that I reviewed almost all the tour operators to find the best... Initially we booked with them for the positive reviews, possibility of doing it in Spanish and mainly for the possibility of doing the activity later than normal time which allows to visit it very calmly and almost without anyone...
Recommendations: I have explained before that going later has its reason and is that on Tuesdays and Thursdays most cruises that do the Aswan-Luxor trip and vice versa use those days to organize visits to this place, the rest of days are still used in the same way, so I recommend using the google function to see how full is usually the place for the day and time of the week that you have in mind. Likewise we went on a Thursday (bad day) but at 1:30pm we could have photos and videos of the temple completely empty... a wonder the truth.
As they perform the activity (I give information to know what to expect, I am not criticizing as as I said I would repeat again without hesitation):
We made the reservation a few months before but until the day before they did not contact us unlike other operators of other activities that we had hired... The afternoon-night before the activity the driver who was taking us from the Aswan hotel to Abu Simbel was contacted, specifying the exact place and time.
The next morning 10 minutes before the specified time the driver was waiting for us with snacks, soft drinks and water. After this we started the route to Abu Simbel... the driver after 1h30min asked us if we wanted to stop at a place to rest a little (in a restaurant apparently typical for tourists as there were several buses with tourists parked), as we were well we asked him to continue and so he did. Once we arrived at the place we met with the guide Mahmoud, who spoke a very fluent and very easy to understand Spanish, which is admirable to say the least... we sat in the shade while he explained a little history and what to see once inside and why he is dedicated to this, in addition to the reference to the Egyptian temple located in Madrid. After this he stays out as do almost all the tour guides so as not to crowd the temples with still people listening to an explanation. After visiting everything in your time (about 2h if you take your time as we do) he will be waiting for you and guiding you to the exit, where the driver will wait for you and you will return to the hotel or specified point.

Great trip to Abu Simbel
Picked up on time but driver Hany, he was polite and courteous and ensured our safety and comfort the whole journey. Car was very clean and he also brought us snacks for the long ride. Our guide when we arrived at Abu Simbel was also Hany, who was very cheerful and knowledgeable. Overall we had a great day and would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

Highly Recommend George as Driver
Our driver George was excellent for our round trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel. George was very safe and efficient in his driving and also punctual for pick-ups. The car was very comfortable and quite new. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a driver to Abu Simbel!

Highly recommended day trip to Abu Simbel
Our driver Hani was brilliant and knew the roads so well. He pointed out various things on the way and took us to a great local place for a delicious fish lunch. It’s a long way but a very comfortable car and it went quickly.
We left Aswan at 8am which was perfect as Abu Simbel wasn’t too busy when we arrived.
The guide, Wallied, was also great and told the story and history of Abu Simbel and Ramses really well. The temples are stunning.

A wonderful experience
An excellent experience. Both the tour company and Hany, the driver, confirmed with me the day before. Hany was perfectly on time and drives very smoothly. He provides snacks and water, and the car is very comfortable with AC.
During the ride, Hany gives much information about what we see on the way and answers any questions you might have. We stop halfway in a station where we can buy snacks and go to the bathroom. It is clean and we can see a mirage in the desert on the other side of the road.
At the temple, Hany gave me as much time as I wanted and I stayed a bit more than 2 hours. I chose the 7 o'clock tour, which is perfect because there are not many people and it's not so hot yet when we arrive at 11 am. I was even alone in some parts of the temple, which I hadn't expected at all. The guide told me that there were 6000-8000 people early on the morning, so if you can, you should avoid leaving at 4 am with all the buses.
The French-speaking guide gives a bit of information before we enter the temples because guides cannot go inside. It's a bit of context information and he can answer our questions.
Then Hany advised me a good fish restaurant in Abou Simbel and it was delicious. On the way back, Hany even offered me some ice cream and more water, and offered to stop on the road to watch the sunset on the Sahara desert.
In the evening, Hany realised I had lost my sunglasses under my seat and he offered to bring them back to the hotel.
Thanks so much to Hany for being so kind and for making this day such a wonderful experience! Going to Abou Simbel was an old dream of mine and it couldn't have gone better.

Aswan to Abu Simbel day trip
Our driver Koko was punctual with 6am pickup and patient. Koko took us safely to Abu Simbel as it was a long drive with parts of the road being quite challenging. Abu Simbel was majestic and worth the effort. Before heading back to Aswan, we had lunch at a local place where the food was simple but full of flavourful. It was a good day out and got to the airport in Aswan around 5pm.

Great Abu Simbel Tour
We had an excellent tour with Markos our driver and Hani our tour guide at Abu Simbel.
Markos was a very safe driver and spoke excellent English. The minivan was very comfortable and made the long journey enjoyable.
Hani, our local guide, was full of knowledge, spoke excellent English and made the experience fun and enjoyable.
Markos recommend an excellent lunch spot to stop at ahead of heading home.
Would 100% recommend booking with them!

Hany Amir was our driver...
Hany Amir was our driver from Aswan to Abu Simbel. He was a wonderful influence on our experience due to the long drive there and back. He ensured we were comfortable and well looked after and he shared a lot of history about Egypt, the Sahara landscape that we saw on the drive. Once we arrived at Abu Simbel we were taken aback by the stunning statues and temples. Job well done, Hany!
