Day in Aswan

We booked a day trip from Aswan to Abu Simble and decided on the way back to add the Nubian Village. The tour was great and they were flexible for last minute changes. Would recommend for any tour!

Don’t let the title fool you. The “Full-Day Private Guided Tour” is merely a pick up and a drop off transfers.
The positives: The driver Ibrahim was on time. The 3 hour-ride was boring but comfortable. Abu Simbel temples were amazing to see and explore. Enjoy the moment.
The negatives: The driver did not speak English. Being a solo traveler, the 3-hour ride felt much longer. It would have been nice to know in advance that the driver won’t be speaking English as I would have brought my AirPods to stay entertained. Egypt requires foreigners to attain a permit to transfer between Aswan and Abu Simbel. The permit costs 200EGP and is included in the price of the private tour. When we reached the checkpoint, the driver informed the security guard that he had lost the permit. After few minutes of arguing back and forth, the guard finally let us through. I’m not sure if the permit was lost or never attained in order to pocket the 200EGP. No bottled water was offered as there should have. Once we arrived at Abu Simbel, I bought the entrance ticket as it was not included. The driver then made a phone call to reach the “Private Tour Guide”. Initially Ahmed was the tour guide. Two minutes into the walk the tour guide was switched to Sayed. We walked for about five minutes to reach the temples. Another five minutes of explaining about the temples from the outside, then you are on your own. The tour guide moves on to another tour.
In summary, this is not an all-day private tour as the title suggests. The tour operator Egypt Best Holidays must update description to accurately reflect what the tour exactly encompasses and to avoid any notion of deception.
Response from Host , Mar 2020
Dear Mr. Fadi , We will be very direct and specific , your booking was for 3 persons and you called us to cancel 1 one them which is refused by our side because we already got a big Minivan and made the permission for 3 persons , NO driver in Aswan speaks English although you can speak Arabic , Guide took 30 Min to explain then gave you the chance to enter the temple as not allowed for the all guides to explain inside , Kind Regards , Egypt Best Holidays

Wonderful tour of Abu Simbel

This was an excellent trip! The company was very organized and communicative. We wanted a private tour for four, but wanted to make sure we were in a van, which they ensured. Our guide, Bisho, was incredibly informative, providing a great tour of Abu Simbel as well as talking about Egypt history and current events. We loved this tour and would highly recommend!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
