This was honestly one of the best experiences of our entire Egypt trip! The tour was exceptionally well organised from start to finish. Ziyad was incredibly knowledgeable, and we learned so much from him. Karlos was an excellent driver who drove us safely and comfortably throughout the long journey. Despite the distance, we didn’t feel stressed or exhausted at all. Everything was smooth, comfortable, and well planned. The lunch added an extra special touch to the whole experience. A big thank you to Ziyad and Karlos again for taking such wonderful care of us and making us feel comfortable throughout the trip. We would also like to thank the entire organising team for checking in on us during our journey and making sure everything was going well. We really appreciated their care, communication, and attention. It was reassuring to know that someone was always checking that we were happy and everything was okay. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt without any hesitation. Thank you all for making our Egypt holiday so special. We will always remember this wonderful experience! ❤️🇪🇬
Hanny is the best guide! He explains things clearly and thoroughly!! Everyone should book a tour!!!!
My trip to Aswan was excellent. My tour guide Waala was extremely knowledgeable and I had a great time. Thank you again.
Fantastic visit! Our guide Ahmed Abdulwahab was extremely knowledgeable and made the history come alive, while also being warm and friendly throughout. Highly recommend!
Ahmed abd elwahab is our tour guide who is kind and introduced very detailed. I would recommend this tour for the people who wanna enjoy the Abe Simbel Temple
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.
Ahmed Sony - very good guide and enjoyable tour
Ahmed abdelwahab our guide is pretty good. We do enjoy this tour.
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.
Eman was an amazing tour guide explaining everything in detail and her accent was amazing. She was very friendly and kind and very sweet. Highly recommend this tour
Ahmed was so sweet and thoughtful and such a gentleman who spoke very well about all the history and tried to make sure we were the best looked after we could possibly be.
It was a truly amazing day. The trip was long but very well worth it. The lunch box was very nice. The driver, AMR, was truly a professional and guide, Nana, was a very lovely companion. Adding a visit to the Temple of Philae in Aswan was a wonderful idea. Thank you very much for a safe and excellent trip.
I had a great experience to visit Abu Simbel. It is a long trip from Aswann, but it is worthy. The temple is very well reconstructed. My private guide was Ahmed Abdelwahab, he was great. Very interested in teaching about the egyptian culture and making sure to clarify any doubts. Additionaly a great photographer, kbowing the perfect spots.
The pick up at KFC was punctual and we shared the Toyota van with 6 other guests. Our guide, Emad Aiad, provided all of us with an entertaining and fact fill tour. We highly recommend him . Even though we were picked up at 3:45am, the Abu Simbel highway opens up at 5am. It's a long drive. Important to get there before the 50+ passenger buses get there. We spent a sufficient amount of time at the temple We were there in beginning of May and it went over 104 F (40 C) in the early afternoon. The entrance tickets were provided by Nice tours. The tour held no surprises and it was very safe.
Ahmed Abdelewahab was our tour guide, he was very nice and knowledgeable. He brought us to Abu Simbel and took care of our group. Strongly recommended.
Our guide Ahmed abdelwahab took lots of lovely photos and kindly explained about history! He gave us some mints. His guide’s symbol is dolphin and so cute!
George was really nice and friendly. We got plenty of time to visit, 2hrs. Recommended
Emad has been an excellent tour guide. Thank you
Very interesting tour by our knowledgeable guide Mohammed Ati. He gave us plenty of time and showed us things we would not have noticed otherwise
If you are planning a visit to the breathtaking temples of Abu Simbel, do yourself a favor and ask for Shazli. From the moment we started our journey, Shazli’s passion for Egyptian history was evident. He doesn’t just recite dates and names; he weaves a tapestry of stories that brings the era of Ramses II and Nefertari to life. Standing before the Great Temple is a bucket-list moment, but having Shazli explain the nuance of every relief and the incredible UNESCO rescue mission made it a soul-stirring experience. Thank you, Shazli, for making my visit to Abu Simbel the highlight of my time in Egypt!
Mina Hbi was a very good tour guide informative on the journey there the temple was beautiful
Ahmed Sony was a great guide, give us good explanations and details of the temple. Excellent experience
The minivan was on time at 3:30 AM. The drivers were polite, driving carefully. The guide name Mostafa, is an egyptologist who explained to us the history of Abu Simbel with images, really interesting and well explained. I recommand 😀
Nice tour with Mina Habib!! Everyrhing went perfect
We did a visit to Abu Simbel with Mostafa today, and that was just amazing ! We really enjoyed our day !
Maro's service was very good, we couldn't get into the group car this morning because we found the wrong pick-up point, he immediately contacted other cars to pick us up and let our trip go smoothly. Thank you very much
A beautiful experience, Bahgat from nice tour has been so kind and brilliant explaining everything to us and waiting kindly while we were taking photos and time to relax. A really recommend this experience because we spent a beautiful day!
The tour to Abu Simbel was an incredible experience. Our guide, Shazdi, was very kind and professional, and explained everything clearly, which made the visit even more interesting and enriching. His knowledge and willingness to answer questions at all times were evident. The organization of the tour was good, and everything went smoothly. Without a doubt, it is an excursion that is truly worth it and that I highly recommend.
Halim was our guide for the daytrip from Luxor to Aswan and we really had a great time. He is passionate about history and he will go far and beyond to make sure you have a great experience.
I had a great day with Ibrahim and Mohamed travelling from Luxor to Aswan stopping along the 3 temples along the way. It was a long trip but worth it. IIbrahim was a fountain of knowledge, kind and patient. All three sites were beautiful but Abu Simbel was the crown Jewel, really amazing to behold. Mohamed our driver was great throughout the day I highly recommend
Mina habeb Perfecto. Trato perfecto. Muy profesional.
Shazli was very knowledgeable about the temples of Abu Simbel. In depth explanations. Journey was smooth as well as we went early.
Wonderful moment. Everything was perfect. Timing respected and Maro our guide was very kind and insightful. The temples of Abu Simbel are out standing. A must on the to do list in Egypt. Thank you for the great moment.
Ahmed abd elwahab picked us up in the morning. We went through instructive photos of different parts of the temple before hand and got free time to go through the temple. He was very helpful to take photos in different places. Good information
We had a great time with our guide Ahmed Abdelwahab. He has us up super early to beat all the large tour groups. On our drive he explained the temple and its history. Definitely recommend
Ahmed Abdelwahab was a perfect tour guide who was very attentive. He was very knowledgeable and helpful and made the experience a highlight of our trip! 10/10
I really wanted to see Abu Simbel, but was in Luxor. I was initially worried about this trip, because its quite long. However the driver, tour guide (Mustafa) and the transport were all amazing. We managed to drive there, have more than enough time to take in these amazing temples, have lunch and drive back in 13 hours. The ride was super comfortable and the company of the driver and guide were amazing. Can recommend this for anyone wanting to visit.
We had a great tour with Abdul - he was super informative and helpful and gave us a lot of time to click pictures! We highly recommend going with him!
Ibrahim, our tour guide, has been the best guide! He is a real gentleman, he took us with him explaining us all the characteristics of the temples, making us explore and taking pictures. We had the best time with him and the driver. They did an amazing job!
DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR! Worst experience in Aswan. I booked a Abu Simbel Temple Day Tour with this Nice Tour Agency. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this tour. The guide was incredibly pushy, demanding tips and forcing us to write a review before the tour was even finished. To make matters worse, they took us to a shopping center for an oil massage that was never part of the original itinerary. It felt like a total scam. This was hands down the worst experience I had in Aswan.
We had a fantastic trip to Abu Simbel! The logistics were perfectly handled from start to finish. Our day began with a very convenient 4:00 AM boat transfer from our hotel on the West Bank over to the East Bank. There, we met our wonderful guide, Moustafa. He gave us a clear and helpful briefing of the day's itinerary before we set off on the 3-hour drive. At the temples, Moustafa spent 2 hours expertly walking us through the rich history, making the incredible site truly come alive. We arrived back in Aswan comfortably around 2:00 PM. A highly organized, must-do tour!
Abdul was the our guide and Embed was our driver. They were polite and nice and prepared.
Very good experience, Shazli and hedra are professional, good to choose this company, nice journey
I joined half day tour from Swan to Abu sinbel guided by Shazli and Maro. Shazli is an archeologist and delivered interesting explanations to us. It was one of the best experiences in Egypt.
Peter was our guide. He was excellent. He explained everything in details and answered all our questions. He was very knowledgeable on the history and sites we visited. He gave us great i information on site we have seen we recommend this Nice Tour company!
Gabriel was a great guide! Very knowledgeable and a good story teller! Be prepared for a very long drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel, we left at 4am and got back at 2pm.
Andrew Awny is responsible , good at time management, friendly, and helpful. He is very local, patient, kind, and professional.
Ahmed Abdelwahab is an excellent guide in Abu Simbel. He provided detailed and engaging explanations of Abu Simbel’s history and showed us great photo spots. Thanks to him, my friends and I made wonderful memories. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Abu Simbel!
Our tour guide’s name is Mostafa, very friendly. He gave us a lot of time to explore and walk around to take photos. He took us to shops where we could find souvenirs for a good price which is what we were looking for. The pictures he brought to explain the temples were very helpful. Never felt rush which is perfect. Thank you!
