Abu simbel trip with Hani - It was great, driver Hani was kind really kind and safe driver, the tour guide was informative and gave us all the free time we needed. Would highly recommend a private tour because you leave in the morning and miss all the massive crowds that usually start at 4 am because they have to catch the cruise. We were there around 11 and there was no crowd at all, definitely worth the extra money.

Aswan to Abu Simbel and back - Had a great experience! Hani was waiting for us at Aswan airport when we landed. Comfortable car and great driving for the 3ish hours it took to get to Abu Simbel. Good conversation and other gave some good tips for traveling around Egypt throughout the drive as well! Highly recommend!

5 star driver and trip to Abu Sembel - We were very pleased with our experience. As two female travellers we were a bit weary of booking this excursion on our own but quickly learned we had nothing to worry about. The company was very responsive to our inquiries and Michael the driver showed up at 4am to our Nile cruise boat and then proceeded to safely get us to Abu Sembel. He waited while we toured the site and immediately picked us up from the parking site once we finished. We never felt rushed and always felt very safe and secure with him as our driver

Excellent Experience - We had a most excellent day with Mr. Hani -- perhaps the highlight of our trip was the long car ride from Aswan to Abu Simbel, and back, discussing all sorts of aspects of Egyptian life, culture and history. We touched on everything from food to music... even dancing a bit in the back seat as Mr. Hani operated as our DJ and guide to local music.
On our tour, we met the guides locally at the temple. This was the day of the Festival of the Sun (in February) and we arrived after the big crowds had subsided. Generally speaking, it seemed we had the place mostly to ourselves. The guides were fairly straightforward in the information provided (they had a long day, I'm sure, with the crowds) and we had plenty of time for exploration of the temples.

Private Complete Tour to Abu Simbel from Aswan - We had a wonderful day tour of Abu Simbel with Haney and Amina. They picked us up directly from the cruise ship in Aswan for our drive through the desert to Abu Simbel. It was quite interesting to see the vastness of the desert and hear about interesting landmarks and historical perspectives along the way. We spent about an hour at Abu Simbel where Amina gave us an overview and points of interest. We managed to get ahead of the larger groups which was nice. Since this was a private tour, we were even able to stop at a couple of shops that we requested on the way back. Great day and I highly recommend this tour!

Spectacular - We went as a family group of six to Abu Simbel. Our guide, Samy, could not have been better. He was informative, erudite and accommodating. It's a long trip, so could have been boring, but he made it special and we had the best day ever. Michael was in touch frequently beforehand so I had no stress about meeting for a private tour, where, when etc. Lovely transport. Thank you for giving us a lifetime memory.

Good trip with private car to Abu Simbel from Aswan - I had a great trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan. Easy to communicate with the driver ahead of time to arrange pick up. Hany always made sure I was happy and also made sure I saw everything that I wanted to and that I had as much time as I wanted at the site. A private local guide met us at the entrance. I went later in the day so the site wasn’t as crowded. Clean private car with AC.
