Traveler reviews
It is a long drive from Aswan... make sure you trust your driver
One of the big highlights of my trip to Egypt, masterfully coordinated by the driver and the guide. Thanks for all the great work!
Amazing tour with Nice Tourd
Starting from booking and received the greetings email from Nice tour, they arranged everything in advance just to make sure we had a pleasant journey to Abu Simbel. From a very smooth pick up service, a 4-hour drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel. Met another local tour guide Ahmed right at the ticket office which’s a smooth transition. Picked up at 3:45, arrived Abu around 8:15am, spent nearly 2 hours there and return to the hotel at 2pm. It’s really amazing and if you have time to visit Abu Simbel, we would highly recommend Nice Tours.
The pickup was on time...
The pickup was on time and the van was quite clean and cozy with security belt. One thing that should be more clear is the fact that the price of the entrance ticket to Abu Simbel was not included and was mandatory, I thought that ticket was optional to go inside the temple not to see the temple from outside.
For the price, this tour...
For the price, this tour is definitely worth it! It was one of the few tours I did in a group and the site is pretty awesome. It’s a long drive there and back, so be prepared for that. The stop at a coffee shop is meh, but you’re in the middle of the desert at like 6am - beggars can’t be choosers. The guide was good - it wasn’t too long, but added to the experience. There was also sufficient time to explore and take pictures. If you want a ton of history, you may want a private guide. But if you want something quick and dirty and/or focus more on the visuals, this tour will do the trick. The car guide wrangled us as needed, but was there basically for logistics. I’m glad I went and would recommend to others - met some cool people on the tour too.
Awesome!
Friendly staff and comfortable ride (although a bit too adventurous on the road). Guide Mohammed Ibrahim was very professional and provided us with valuable information!
