Abu Simbel from Aswan with an Egyptologist guide and shared air-conditioned minivan, early pickup, two temples, and extra entry fees.
“After arriving they told us we only had hour and a half to see the temple. There were so many people that it took us 45 minutes to get the tickets. The guide did not help us at all and said we should meet him inside after seeing the first temple in half an hour. We got in late and couldn't find the guide, even though we paid for a guided tour. If you are taking this tour make sure you jump the line and you are there on time because the guide doesn't wait!”

Private Aswan to Luxor day trip with sunrise hot air balloon, Valley of Kings tombs, Karnak and Luxor Temples, plus Nile felucca.
“Nel complesso è stata un'escursione molto bella grazie ad una guida molto professionale, appassionata e divertente. Purtroppo il giro in mongolfiera è stato annullato a causa delle cattive condizioni metereologiche.... Il pranzo è stato ottimo: abbiamo pranzato in un ristorante con vista sul Nilo. Purtroppo il servizio di trasporto è stato deludente nella seconda parte della giornata: è stato necessario cambiare strada e questo ha causato un aumento del tempo di percorrenza per Assuan (il viaggio è durato 5 ore e mezzo). Infine sul sito c'è scritto che l'escursione ha una durata di 12 ore ma in realtà è durata fino al pomeriggio inoltrato (siamo rientrati alle 7 e mezzo…”

“Le prix est tres exagéré, Mohamed le guide, est sympa mais c est plus un accompagnateur qu un guide , 5mn d explications face au temple et c est tout , le reste du temps est passé à discuter avec le chauffeur ,dormir ou jouer sur son portable,ou alors essayer de nous vendre ferme aux crocodiles, trajet aeroport et j en passe... en plus il vient pas nous chercher , le chauffeur ( tres bien) m a d abord emmené de l hotel on a pris le guide en route chez lui et au retour pareil ...il ne s est pas présenté et n ai su son nom que lorsque…”
