Abu Simbel

Highly recommend booking your Abu Simbel day trip with Ahmed abdelwahab. The trip was very comfortable in a nice car with a great driver. Additionally, Ahmed was very knowledgeable and friendly. 10/10 experience.

Poor experience but amazing place to visit.

Visiting Abu Simbel is amazing. One of the most beautiful historical sites in the world. But doing with Nice tours as a day trip was a disaster. Don’t get me wrong as the drivers were fantastic but for a 14 hour round trip they put us in a local commuter van that failed both on AC and on comfort (think lowest basic economy you can find). The car was also close to overheating several times forcing the drivers to do whatever it took to keep us going. The Company then added a third staff member in Aswan, who said hello, and then proceeded to just take up more of our minimal legroom, sleeping both ways and not saying a word till he was dropped back home. Lunch was NOT in Aswan as advertised but at a local restaurant across from the site. When feedback was given to Nice tours on how uncomfortable the trip was, a minimal apology was offered. The day was spoiled by a poor locally run tour group who should have considered more the comfort of its customers given this was not a cheap trip. Beware if you book and who Viators farms this out to.
