We had a family of 6, we got a van. Nicely maintained air conditioned van to travel to Abu Simbel from Our Royal Princess Nile Cruise at Aswan. Two drivers were great. Booked through viator, picked up us right on time and back to the cruise as well. Very nice experience. Extremely satisfied!

Great trip! Our driver was very polite and friendly and we really enjoyed the ride. We departed around 7am and arrived around 10:30 and there was literally no one there but us! Amazing sightseeing and organized tour.

Emo Tour's organization of this trip was poor - despite earlier agreement to be picked at the cruise ship lobby, we were told to meet the driver by the roadside by sending a GPS pin. 4:30am in the morning, in a foreign unfamiliar town, waiting by the roadside for a stranger that Emo Tour could not provide name for, is not a pleasant experience especially when the driver is 15 mins late! The driver could just barely speak English, and there was no private guide with him. "Meet at Abu Simbel" was all the driver could tell me when I asked about the guide, with a shrug of "beyond my pay grade". Thankfully, the driver was competent and safely took us there and back, talking on the cell phone on multiple occasions notwithstanding. The "Private Guide" part of this trip is a scam - it entailed meeting someone at Abu Simbel, who spent less than 5 mins in front of the monument reading a spiel that I could have just read from Wiki, and then dispatching us to the monument, so he could "guide" another group - rinse and repeat at the smaller temple. Definitely not worth the money paid, and most definitely, I do not consider this portion "guiding". Left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, but luckily Abu Simbel Temple-Monument was worth the effort to be there!

We where pickedup in a spacious airconditioned van. The two drivers did a good job and brought us safe to our destination and back. The guide awaited us at the site. He explained everything well and we had plenty of time for photos. The tour started at 7:00 and we where back at 16:00. No hassle, no shopping. Thank you!!!

The temple is incredible and it was so worth the effort to go to Aswan and then take the drive there. It is not to be missed.
