Dingen om te doen in Abu Simbel

De transfer was erg stipt en de chauffeur reed hard, waardoor we de Abu Simbel-tempel eerder dan de groepsreizigers bereikten. Deze privétour was echter al iets duurder dan die van andere lokale reisbureaus. Op de terugweg vroeg de chauffeur om een fooi met een envelop, wat de vraag opriep of de prijs niet all-inclusive was. Waarom zou er dan nog om een fooi worden gevraagd? Bovendien stond er in het reisschema niet vermeld dat er een fooi gegeven moest worden of dat de fooi voor de chauffeur was inbegrepen.

It was a great trip to see Abu simbel from Luxor as I did not need to go to Aswan first. The driver was very nice and caring.

We had an amazing day touring Luxor with Ahmed Yossry! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organized, and stress-free. He showed us not just the famous sites but also the hidden gems that made the experience truly special. Ahmed is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights throughout the day, bringing the history of Luxor to life in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. On top of that, he made sure we felt safe and comfortable at all times, which made a big difference in enjoying the experience fully. If you’re planning to explore Luxor, we highly recommend Ahmed, he truly made our day unforgettable.

Overall, I am satisfied. The guides and coordinators were mostly very kind. I was very grateful for the quick responses during our prior communications. However, I would have liked a more detailed schedule. If I had known there would be time to explore the cities in Aswan on day 1 and Luxor on day 3, I believe I could have spent my time more productively. It was unfortunate that the quality of the guides varied, and on one occasion, for transportation, we had a carriage transfer where we were asked for a higher-than-average tip.

I was worried about how to meet the guide since it was my first time using this, but I was easily connected with the guide via WhatsApp and had a great time without any worries.
