Not a very private tour experience.

2.00Unfortunately, their reviews did not match my experience. The driver who picked me up did not speak any English, which made it nearly impossible to communicate. Thought they would have a sign/name card when I exited the airport but I had to call to locate him. Tour Guide Haani was friendly and helpful. However, he wasn’t very forthcoming with the stories and I had to extract information from him. They should provide the water at the start of the tour and not the end.
Trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel with Hani

5.00Regarding the Vehicle Hani drove: Constant AC the entire trip. Very clean and proper car. It was a comfortable jeep. He always always slowed down at every single bump or hole in the road. So after hours of driving you aren’t left bruised and sore. Very Safe. Efficient and smooth driving. He single handedly erased any stereotypes of typical Egyptian driving. Provided snacks and Juice. Super flexible to anything we needed. And was very good at planning the time schedule to get to places at proper hours. And he knew when it was important to use the bathroom because there wouldn’t be anything for many kilometers. About Hani our driver: Energetic. Knowledgeable on Egypt. Local to Aswan. Considerate of our needs. Wanting to always be of assistance to us. We were three women alone with him and felt very comfortable with him. His English was good enough to communicate with him and was sufficient enough for him to explain some questions we had about Egypt and hold long discussions. Knew where to keep us safe and recommend where to eat. He explained a lot of details and dynamics of Egypt and was familiar with landmarks on the way.
An Unforgettable Abu Simbel Day Trip – Highlight of Our Egypt Journey

5.00We did a private full-day tour from Aswan to Abu Simbel and it was absolutely amazing. Abu Simbel itself is breathtaking and truly a must-see in Egypt and around two hours is more than enough time to explore and enjoy the site without feeling rushed. What really made this experience exceptional was our driver, Hany. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. The car was very clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable for the long drive. He even had snacks for us, which was a nice touch. Hany provided guidance throughout the journey, explaining things along the way and sharing helpful insights. He suggested a later pickup time so we could visit Abu Simbel with fewer visitors, which made a huge difference. On the return journey, he recommended a great local restaurant and kindly dropped us off at a different location upon our request. He also stopped to take photos for us at sunset, which was a truly memorable moment. The ride was smooth and comfortable, and everything felt well thought out. Traveling with Hany was genuinely the highlight of our entire Egypt trip. This tour was well worth it, and we would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Aswan and Abu Simbel. Pro tip: If possible, visit Abu Simbel on a Monday or Wednesday and leave Aswan by around 8am. This timing helps avoid the large tour groups and allows for a much more enjoyable and less crowded experience.

4.00Abu Simbel’s visit was incredible, especially the visit to the temple of Nefertari with the goddess Hathor. It is for me an unmissable!! I left at 10am from Aswan, the last slot to have as few people as possible on site. There were really not many people and I had 1h30 on site. It was kind of fair to me. Leaving at 9:00 would have been perfect. My driver, Hani, was on time, friendly, I was welcomed with various snacks and water. That was a good thing. Hani gave me lots of information along the way about the buildings, the landscapes... it was interesting. It is very good for group or couple visits. The on-site guide gave me details about the interior decors (they are not allowed to go back), but it seemed a bit fair and quick. I advise you to fill the speech with the blue Egypt guide (book to buy before you leave) which is full of descriptions.

5.00We chose to leave at 7am, also upon arrival on site many groups left the site. Our driver Hany taught us a lot during the trip which was done in a very comfortable car. In the end we did not see the past time. Thanks to Hany for making us have a pleasant time despite the length of the trip.
Amazing experience!

5.00We traveled from Aswan to Abu Simbel by car and everything was perfect. Mina picked us up on time and the car was in excellent condition, very comfortable for the journey. When we arrived, a Spanish-speaking guide was waiting for us; he spoke very well and explained everything in great detail. We left Aswan at 8:00 AM, which turned out to be the ideal time — there were very few people at Abu Simbel, so we could enjoy the visit peacefully. A totally recommended experience.
A great daytip

5.00Hany was a fantastic driver and tour guide. We had a great daytrip to Abu Simbel with him. He arrived promptly and had a lot of snacks ready for our daytrip. We stopped for a coffee in the dessert halfway through. Throughout our drive Hany was very kind and shared a lot of his knowledge of the history and culture of Egypt with us. He also drove very safely. Hany recommended a great fish restaurant in Abu Simber for lunch before we headed back to Aswan. We opted for the luxury option with entry fees and egyptoligist included in the price. However, in hindsight this was not necessary. Hany (the egyptiologist not the driver) was friendly but did not seem very knowledgeable at all unfortunately. We did not learn anything that we did not already know and when we asked him questions he was not able to answer them (might have also been a language barrier). Overall a long but great daytrip with Hany! And Abu Simbel is a beautiful place to enjoy.
A temple to visit!

5.00We traveled to Abu Simbel with the guide Mina. He explained the whole history of the temple to us, but also answered all our questions on the way. He also booked us a table at a restaurant in the city. The temple is a miracle, it cannot be described in words
