Aswan

It wa great experience to visit Abu Simbel. It’s very long drive but really worth it!!!

I'm generally satisfied, but I was confused when I was contacted the evening before and told that the hotel pick-up would be at 3:30 AM. I know that most Abu Simbel tours depart at 3:00 AM, but I specifically wanted a later departure and applied for this tour. After several emails, I accepted the conclusion that it was due to the location of my hotel, and I waited in the hotel lobby for the 3:30 AM pick-up on the day. However, they didn't show up. When I called the local tour company, they just said, "Car is on the way." Finally, they arrived 30 minutes late. It's unacceptable that they told me the earlier time of 3:30 AM and then were late. Also, I think the detailed explanation of the tour content is unclear when applying. In reality, it was Pick-up → assemble at the tour departure point → be assigned to a pre-determined car number in one of several vans, and then finally depart at 5:00 AM. This flow is not unusual, but I would like it to be properly described in the application information. (I mistakenly thought that Pick-up = Departure = 5:00 AM.) Furthermore, regarding the guide, I wonder what the point is of having two people, one to escort me to the ticket counter after arriving locally, and the other to take me to the temple after entering (I only had the outside guide). I only have questions about this division of labor. In short, the inside of the temple is a guide-free free-for-all. I wasn't unhappy with the free-for-all, but I don't think it's kind not to inform people in advance. Because of this experience, I originally wanted to give a perfect score, but I dared to give it a 4. The driver on this course was safe, considerate, and helpful, and the other passengers were kind and friendly. On the way back, we clapped and sang along to the music playing in the car, and then various topics spontaneously came up and we got excited. Even though I only understood rusty English, I was part of the laughter and had a lot of fun. So, if asked if I would recommend it to others, I would definitely say Yes!

The guide was super helpful and made sure everything has gone right and safe! The night show was an unique and wonderful experience to visit the temple. And the driver was polite and helpful too!

the tour guide is really professional and nice. he provide a lot of historical information about the temple and village. he also took a good care with us. I highly recommend this tour for someone who want to travel in Aswan.

The tour guide, Nana, provided a decent explanation, offering tourists a lot of knowledge about the various cultural relics within the scenic spot. However, her speech was a bit halting. The driver got lost for about half an hour along the way. The deducted star is because the boat ride to the Philae Temple requires tourists to pay an extra $10 USD, and this additional cost was not mentioned in advance on the purchase page, which is not ideal.

Nice experience on the Nile, with a different tour guide everday. Tickets and tips are not included so make sure to take cash and have card ready. No hot air balloon flight - cancelled due to weather, trying to get money back.

l like my tour enjoy my tour. really thanks to my tour guide the archaeologists. was amazing. I recommend. him to all

I was so grateful for the guide's efforts to explain everything to me, even though I don't speak English well. I really appreciate you making me feel comfortable. I hope to have this opportunity again with my friends next time.

Captain Hamo Nemary was absolutely incredible. He made me feel right at home from the moment I stepped onboard and shared fascinating stories about Elephantine Island and Nubian culture. His warm personality and deep knowledge turned the trip into something truly special. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience!
