Traveler reviews
Stress Free Trip to Abu Simbel
I loved the flexibility of departure! Everyone leaves Aswan at 4 am but by going later, we had almost no crowds. It was a very relaxing van ride with available chargers and nice drivers. The lunch on the way back was excellent - best fish I’ve had in a long time. Definitely recommend!
Poor customer service
The tour itself was good, Abu Simbel is worth the trip, but do NOT use this company. In hindsight, we may not have needed a guide but it was a helpful 10 minute explanation. The reason for this low review is that I paid in advance for entry tickets to be included, but upon arrival I had to pay for our tickets. (Even so, tickets are 50% cheaper at the site than the added cost and ticket lines were nonexistent.) I notified the tour company on the day of our tour, provided receipts, and was told I would be refunded. Two weeks later and several messages later, I have not received any refund nor any reply from the company about when I may be refunded the amount.
The temple was wonderful.
The good things were the description of the Absinbel temple guide, the on-time pickup and the delicious lunch. The unfortunate things were that I had been told that I could get some water, but they didn't, that a stranger (a driver I know?) came in without our permission on the way home when it was supposed to be a private car, and that the driver didn't seem to be very good at English, making it difficult to communicate during long-distance driving. The purpose of this tour is to go to Absimbel (and tickets were included!), so I think it was good to say that we achieved that.
Aswan
Heba was a great guide with fantastic knowledge Spent most of time at Philae temple but well worth it
Nice trip
The driver was very friendly, picked up us on time, and waited for us when we returned to the parking lot. We felt very comfortable during the whole trip.
