Ahmet was a good and reliable driver and Mostapha a good guide but we wish we had spent more time talking to him. For organisational reasons guides are not allowed in the temple so you only get the guide's explanations for about 10-15 mind before you enter.

Our guide Hassim was friendly, knowledgeable, and obviously proud of his heritage. He made sure we weren’t pestered by vendors and that we got a good price when we did decide to buy things. We were free to marvel at the innovation and artistry of the ancient Egyptians, knowing we were in capable hands. We also appreciated the multiple water bottles they supplied.

Tour was okay. Guide spoke German very well and explanations were interesting.
However, I think next time I would just book a driver. It feels weird to have a guide in the car for 6 hours and only have explanations for 15 minutes before the temple since they are not allowed inside.
Abu Simbel is worth it but not as guided tour.

Nile Holiday Tour Company was dependable; our tour guide Mary was on time (3:00AM) to pick us up in our hotel; she was super nice - sharing her knowledge about the temple and its history, what the writings on the walls were about...really good! She was also kind enough to take awesome pictures.

My wife and I took Abu Simbel tour in March 2018. Guide agreed to meet us airport at convenient time. They also returned us to Aswan hotel after the tour. Everything went off without a problem. Guide was very knowledgeable about history and made us feel welcome. Abu Simbel temple is decent ride south of Aswan but well worth it. I would highly recommend.

We loved Abu Simbel! We did not go as early as everybody suggested, instead left Aswan at 7AM, and when we got to Abu Simbel all other tourists were gone and we had the whole temple for ourselves!! It was amazing!! The people very friendly, including our guide Hati.
