A fantastic Nile cruise and tours by Mostafa!
I was a solo traveller on this cruise and felt very welcomed by the organisers. Communication with them was very smooth.
I and my fellow travellers had a fantastic tour guide Mostafa who was very knowledgeable. He gave us lots of historical and cultural information and was happy to answer any questions regarding Egypt and its history.
Our days were full of tours to all of the sites, nevertheless we had enough time also to relax on the boat. Tours were very well organised. Mostafa and the drivers were punctual and gave us enough time to do photos on each location we visited. I was the only one who chose to do the trip to Abu Simbel. This it is an optional tour which starts very early in the day and it requires 3hrs drive each way and Mostafa accompanied me with a personal driver to show me the temple. Even though no one else wanted to go, they were able to arrange this trip for only me.
I was accommodated on the La Fayan boat which was very comfortable. Room was modern and clean, sundeck was perfect for sunbathing, drinking, meeting fellow passengers and looking at the river bank passing by. Food was mostly buffet and there were a lot of options.
Definitely a must tour when you visit Egypt! It was the highlight of my trip to Egypt.

Great guide, great experience!
Where do I start? We had the most amazing egyptian adventure! The cruise ship was incredibly comfortable, the food was amazing, our tours were so informative, and transportation was well planned. When we went to each temple, we went right through with no waiting. I can't say enough great things about our guide Mustafa. He managed our trip perfectly and cared about our experience. The next time we visit Egypt, we are hiring Egypt Unlimited Tours again!!! 100%

Egypt Unlimited Tours (Nile Cruise: Aswan-Luxor + Guided Tours Cairo)
My husband and I had the most wonderful trip to Egypt through Egypt Unlimited Tours. We booked for a Nile Cruise (Aswan to Luxor) (four days and three nights) and then a full day in Cairo to see the Giza Pyramids and the Museum of Antiquities. We had three guides: Ashraf, Maria and Khaled for each of the three main locations. All three were lovely and fantastically interesting people, and so knowledgeable about the history of Egypt. We packed so much into seven days and enjoyed every minute of our time. Going through Egypt Unlimited was also MUCH less expensive than booking through UK tour companies and based on the people we spoke to on the cruise, our experience was almost certainly the better one. Could not recommend them more. They sorted everything out that we wanted to see and nothing was too much trouble.

What an experience! Also book this private guide...
We had the best guide! Ahmed Salama a proper Egyptologist and encyclopedia whose knowledge and passion really connected us to what we were seeing around us on a whole new level. So good I'm coming back. Bringing my family next time.

Best Egyptologist guide on the Nile
We booked a cruise on the Nile from Luxor to Aswan and it was utterly magical. The boat exceeded all expectations with the room and views, but most of all, our Egyptologist guide Ahmed Salama, who was with us for the entire trip, made our experience absolutely mind blowing! I would go as far as to say, one of the best times of my life. My partner and me were totally captivated with his knowledge, passion and true to tell an amazing story and I’ve come away just wanting my family to do the same. Thank you so much Ahmed, we are forever grateful. Hollie and Phil x

Magical Nile Adventure with Amr!
I can’t say enough about our magical adventure with Amr Al Shakairy. This was by far our best excursion in Egypt and without a doubt Amr was our top guide. He is extremely intelligent, kind, expressive, passionate and accommodating. He went out of his way for us, ensuring we always had everything we needed for a safe, comfortable, enjoyable trip. His historical knowledge is incredibly impressive and inspiring. I can’t believe how much I learned on this trip while having so much fun. I highly recommend this company and if you’re lucky enough to have Amr as your guide and friend, you are guaranteed the trip of a lifetime. Thank you Amr, Thank you very, very, very much!

You need Mustafa
We took this tour as it has always been my partner’s dream to visit the breath taking ancient Egyptian monuments and to cruise down the Nile. All of the staff went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing time, and the facilities were perfect (except for the cruise ship wifi, but we had an Egyptian sim for internet as a backup).
We were also lucky to have our amazing tour guide, Mustafa. He was friendly, funny, very knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited (and ancient Egyptian history in general), and he made sure we had an amazing trip. If you want a tour guide who takes extra care to make sure you see the best of Egypt, then you need Mustafa!

Amazing Tour with a Guide that really took care of us!
Our tour with Egypt Unlimited Tours was amazing and very professional! We were met at the train station as soon as we got off our train by a driver who took us to our cruise boat. He spoke very good English and was very nice and professional. He checked us into our room and introduced us to Mohammad, our tour guide for the rest of the trip. Mohammad was a fantastic tour guide. He not only explained to us the historical information around the sights, but he went above and beyond by explaining to us how the cruise works, gave us advice (which I absolutely trusted), helped me translate, and helped negotiate prices. Also, when my wife was feeling sick, he took us to the pharmacy twice to get medicine for her. He really took care of us from the very beginning to the very end. I absolutely recommend Egypt Unlimited Tours.

2 DIFFERENT REVIEWS!!!!
So this is 2 different reviews for this package.
First is for the tour guide and all of the sites we saw along the way:
100/10.
Our tour guide was Ahmed. Best tour guide I've had traveling to over 50+ countries. His knowledge is next level and he knows how to read a room. Some people want to spend 5 min seeing things others 5 hours, he lets you go at your own pace while explaining everything along the way. Also was able to let us know when to tip/how much as well as meeting us all along the way, which for him could be up to 3 hours or more from his home town. Helped us negotiate prices of things we wanted to buy and showed us his favourite local spots to hit up to eat. The 3 of us unanimously agreed he was the bees knees. Couldn't recommend him more!!
Second part of review.... the boat.
So we didn't get much info about which boat we were traveling on before the cruise, so be it, came into it with an open mind. Our boat was pretty outdated, service was decent, and food was beyond bland. Wasn't expecting a mega cruise ship and all its modern amenities, but we saw some other boats along the nile that seemed much nicer, and it would be great if this tour company would allow you to choose your own boat, could charge more don't care about that, to make sure your expectations met your experience. Keep in mind this portion of the review has nothing to do with the actual sites/tour guide just the boat, of which the tour company has no true affiliation with besides partnering up for the cruising portion of this package. Wi-Fi was non existent, drinks on board are 4-5X as much as they would be on land. (buy a bottle or two in duty free at aswan airport, if that's where you're flying into first, if not stop at a drinkies in luxor to bring some booze at a way lower price point on board the ship. You have a fridge and are allowed to bring on your own supplies.) Linens and towels were "Clean" but always looked and seemed dirty and rooms/doors are very thin so you hear everything in the hallways and above you. If you can choose, try to get a room on the 2nd or 4th floor, not the third. People were making a lot of noise on early morning excursions ie 4:30am so bring some industry standard ear plugs if you are not joining those optional early morning excursions. Other than that the boat floated, sun was out and was an enjoyable transportation option to get you in between cities/sites.

Great cruise!
Before my trip to Egypt I was in doubt if I wanted to book a cruise or not. I went for it though and I was so happy that I've chose this one. Everything was perfect! Our tour was very small, just me and another passenger, which made it so much more personal. Mostafa was a great guide, he has so much knowledge about the history of Ancient Egypt and can answer any question. The cruise was wonderful, on the Blue Shadow ship. The room was great as well. I liked that every day there was something going on on board, from afternoon tea on the sun deck to specialised parties and belly dancers. One evening we had Egyptian food in the restaurant, which was a great way to taste the local dishes.
