Our driver was superb, the journey took 3.5 hours each way, and we felt completely safe the whole time. He managed to avoid potholes and uneven road surfaces very well. Our guide took advantage of the journey to have a nap. He gave us a 20 minute photo lecture in front of the temple, which was informative background to moving the temples, but otherwise he was not very engaging. The temples were amazing, but we felt rushed looking round them so we could meet up with our guide for the return journey. To miss crowds we didn’t leave our hotel in Aswan at 8am, in hindsight 7am would have given us more time at Abu Simbel.

Whalid was a great guide very interesting with a wide knowledge. I would definitely recommend him for a tour.

Despite being late ourselves due to a misunderstanding if dates, we felt the day was unsafe and formulaic.
1) Our driver frequently drove at 140-150 KPH on 90 KPH desert roads, with frequent heavy braking to avoid other vehicles.
2) Our guide gave a 45 lecture at the start of a 3.5 hour journey and then went to sleep.
3) At the temple...we were hurried (having forgone a break to catch up), given a 10 minute photo lecturer and then our guide went off.
4) It was too far for one temple....a missed opportunity was to fail to join it up with visit to the ASWAN dam and exploration of the numerous geographical and cultural implications of the dam.
Felt very rushed with huge missed opportunities along the way.

Hello Eddie, We feel sorry for you and you are the one booked the travel date even you do not know that we are coming as we called you at your room at 8am and you were sleeping and asked the guide to change the day on spot, that is unacceptable at all. The driver and the guide was waiting you at the reception for almost 50 minutes you been late and we did our best to catch the visit and giving you all the information. Thanks for your review and we are looking to serve you gain in a better way.

Excellent Organisation - we got contacted minutes after booking and the pick up was on time. The bus was new and very comfortable. The driver slowed down before speed bumps so we wouldn't shake so much (not allways tge case in egypt ...). The tour guide knew a lot and explained everything about the temples very well! He also gave interesting information on the road and spoke German very well. I would definitvely go with them again :)
