    Driver and guide arrived on time and the whole trip was as described. Took around 20-30 minutes from the hotel, the guide was knowledgeable and also gave us some free time for pictures. Would recommend !

    Les deux temps d'Abou Simbel sont des incontournables, c'est tout juste magnifique. Concernant l'expédition, il faut se rendre compte que c'est un convoi entier d'autocars qui convergent sur place et que tous fonctionnent de la même manière, à savoir, trois heures de route aller, un peu plus d'une heure de visite, avant trois heures de route au retour. C'est très touristique, c'est la cogite mais on ne regrette pas tant c'est beau.

    The organization was a little light, obliged to ask twice the hour of pickup the following morning. The time was communicated around 10 pm for a wake up call at 3:30 am... Moreover the driver arrived 30 minutes late without giving any information. All that aside, the show is really great, it is an attraction not to be missed!

    Guide charged me 275 EGP for the ticket and he give me a student ticket 130 EGP, so I guess Viator owns me 6 Euros at least. We leave Aswan almost one hour late and only have 75 minutes to see both temples, next time I will go on my own no matter the taxi cost and stay there longer. Guide didn’t explain much as he also have less time to explain, if he explains more we have less time to enjoy the temples.

    This was an easy to book trip I would recommend. I booked it the day before and their rates cannot be beaten. The guide was knowledgeable and kind, stopping to water and restroom breaks. The bus was adequate with AC and plenty of room. Excellent choice for a day in Abu Simbel.

    El amanecer en el desierto durante el viaje, la portada para un café muy necesaria y el impacto de los templos tan bonitos a orillas del Nilo. Inolvidable

    The day trip tu Abu Simbel was very nice. It is a serious company and i recommend it. The guide explained us everything and answered at all questions. My day was perfect!

    If you book on Viator, make sure you contact the company through Viator messenger to make sure they are picking you up and if staying in Nubian village you might have to have your hotel arrange for pick up as the bus cannot enter the road. This tour was fast and efficient. Literally they puck you up, drive 3 hours to Abu Simbel hop out of the car in the Monument for 30-40 minutes then the next for 15. Then immediately back on bus. No bathroom breaks for each ride there and back or stops. We barely had time to go to the bathroom before getting back on the bus. Overall I felt rushed and rather impersonal but you get what you pay for. If you just want to see Abu Simbel and get there quickly and back this will adequate. Also the seats were very uncomfortable, especially if you are tall. Bring snacks as there is none provided and they do not stop.

    The Trip could not run any better! They picked me up at the agreed time at my hotel in a very comfortable van equipped with air conditioned (very important in Aswan) The Abu Simbel temple is simply amazing, perhaps the most impressive one I visited in whole Egypt! The tour guide assisted with very interesting information (in perfect English!) about the temple, you miss 80% of the temple if you don’t have somebody that explains you how was it built, who is represented … On the way back we did a 10 minutes pause for toilet/coffee … I was very happy with this trip and recommend it 100% 👍
