Amazing all round experience made very special
Wow where can I start...
We started in Aswan where I was picked up directly from the station without any issues. I kept in constant contact with the tour organiser beforehand who was so helpful throughout - anything I needed or any concerns I had they dealt with quickly and easily through whatsapp.
My tour guide during the trip was Mohamed and was sooo accommodating and knowledgeable!! He joined us for the cruise so was always accessible when needed, at the same time he understood that personal time is always needed so we found a great balance between visiting sites and relaxation.
Regarding the cruise and tour itself it was very well structured but with Mohamed he always offered flexibility to ensure the experience was tailored to my desires. There were times where there were activities programmed however I was interested in seeing other things when it came down it. Without blinking he said sure we can make it happen - trying to make my visit as unique as possible for me. This for me was one of the best aspects of the trip. Speaking to some guests with other tour companies I didn't get the same impression that their tour guides had their best interests at heart.
For eg. the last night I wasnt interested in having dinner on the ship so he took me out for a traditional Egyptian dinner, shisha, took me around the local area showing me the local culture. He even bought me a present during the trip ahah!!
Before heading to Egypt I knew that tours were usually combined with sales opportunities and that the guides usually take a commission, however throughout the trip with Mohamed he didn't try to push anything onto me and made me feel as comfortable as possible.
Regarding the cruise was pleasant and relaxing with a good selection of food for meals and the rooms were maintained to a very good standard.
I must add that on the last day I had to catch a flight in the early afternoon, and then had to travel from Cairo airport to its main station Ramses for a train. I tried to book an uber but it wasnt working and so I asked Mohamed the tour operator if he could help. He mentioned a price but I said I really didnt have much money... After I explained my situation he said ok no problem at all and said that one of his representatives will be waiting for me in Cairo when I land and that I can pay them however much I want to/could. This for me was a level of service that went above and beyond and I honestly couldn't believe it!!
All in all an experience not to forget, and I would highly recommend going with this tour company.

Wow !
It was an amazing experience !
The visits was so interesting and our guide, Hemdan, really passionate. He told us all the stories with passion and kept our attention until the end. We learned a lot and we are so happy about that. Plus, he was really kind with us, listening to our needs and desires. The driver from Edfu to Luxor, Ahmed, was also super nice. He stayed with us all the day and mad the ways so comfortable. Thank you so much to both of them.
The plan of the visits was well organized. The pick up at the aerport and the drop off last day really easy. They also changed the plan for us due to our flight and everything was done in few hours only ! Like this we did all the visits.
The organisation was perfect. Everything was done to make us relax. Our only preoccupation? Enjoy our time !
About the boat : Wow. Room so clean and comfortable. Varied and tasty food, top service with funny employees and nice shows after dinner.
We recommend this company 100% !
Thank you so much for making our trip unforgettable.

Great tour guide
The private tour part of our tour was excellent. We felt taken care of and our guide Ahmed El Ansary really brought the history to life. The cruise part was a bit disappointing with unfriendly staff and having to pay for water. The food was alright though. Overall a good experience

Excelentes para conocer egipto
Excelente servicio, desde que bajamos del avión nos recibieron muy bien, el guía nos acompañó en cada tour, con un muy buen español y gran conocimiento de toda la historia egipcia, el Cruzero tiene un muy buen servicio, las paradas son ideales, y el tiempo en cada lugar es perfecto. Finalizamos con un vuelo en globo que nos encantó. Muy buena organización. Agencia totalmente recomendable, sin duda viajaría nuevamente con ellos.

Une expérience incroyable ! Merci Mohamed et Mostafa !
Une croisière incroyable avec notre super guide parlant français Mostafa. Une expérience hors du commun. Nous en avons pris plein les yeux. Nous voyageons beaucoup à l’étranger mais cette croisière fut l’une de nos meilleures expériences.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la passion de notre guide Mostafa qui nous a transmis énormément de choses. Nous avons passé 4 jours exceptionnels avec lui. Il s’est occupé de tout !
Nous avons ajouté en plus de la croisière 3 visites : le village nubien, Abu Simbel ainsi que la montgolfière. Ces 3 choses sont à faire absolument. Je vous le conseille fortement. Gros coup de cœur notamment pour le vol en montgolfière. C’est impressionnant de survoler autant de belles choses, notamment la vallée des rois !
Quant au bateau de croisière, nous étions sur le Steigenberger Royal ! Nous étions les seuls français. Le bateau est très beau. Ce que l’on apprécie c’est la gentillesse du personnel. La nourriture également est bonne. Les boissons ne sont pas comprises, mais elles restent les moins chères si on les compare aux boissons des hôtels égyptiens que nous avons pu faire.
Il y a une piscine sur le rooftop du bateau avec plein de transats. On peut s’y relaxer durant la croisière et ainsi profiter du paysage.
Petite précision: nous avions choisi la formule avec guide privé. Cette formule est idéale pour avoir le temps pour les explications mais aussi prendre des photos. Cela vous permet également d’avoir un véhicule avec chauffeur pour aller d’un endroit à l’autre. Ça évite d’être entassé dans un bus rempli de touristes.
Concernant le Covid, à bord, les règles sanitaires sont très bien respectées, il n’y a aucun souci à se faire sur ce point.
Encore merci à Mohamed, le directeur de l’agence ! Il a tout organisé. Nous sommes arrivés la veille de la croisière à l’aéroport d’Aswan. Un représentant est venu nous récupérer à l’aéroport puis à notre hôtel le lendemain.
Avant d’acheter la croisière, j’ai contacté Mohamed par What’s App afin d’avoir plus d’informations. Il a toujours répondu très vite. Il a même pris de nos nouvelles durant la croisière. Il est honnête et vous proposera toujours des tarifs très compétitifs et qui se démarquent de ses concurrents. Alors un grand merci Mohamed, choukran ! Et à bientôt, inchalla !

Amazing itinerary and the best guide!!!
We had a great time on the cruise and with our tour guide Ahmed. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and made sure we were comfortable with our tours and itinerary. He communicated the plan to us ahead of time and gave us great tips for each of the places we visited. We got to experience a lot in 4 days. We were never rushed. Ahmed would always make sure we were hydrated, had our hats, and would offer to stop to get cash or anything we may need before and after our tours. Ahmed also arranged a covid test for us which was very convenient. The test was taken in the cruise ship and we didn’t have to go to the hospital. We were pleasantly surprised with Ahmed attention and for being so courteous to us during our cruise. We not only highly recommend Egypt unlimited tours but our guide Ahmed.

Well facilitated with exceptional service
This tour package was my favorite of all the things we did while in Egypt. It was well facilitated and they even accommodated our additional needs (i.e. covid testing for departure.) Our guide Ahmed was awesome! Very knowledgeable, informative and easy going. Our organizer Mohamed was very helpful throughout the booking process and kept in touch throughout. Everything on the itinerary was laid out and transitioned well so there were no surprises on what to expect. It was above and beyond my expectations when comparing to other tours we did while in Egypt. I definitely recommend Egypt unlimited for booking all of your tours. We added the Abu Simbel tour onto our cruise and it was well worth it, my favorite temple on the itinerary. The cruise itself was a nice change of pace and very similar to American style cruising with very clean and spacious cabins and a great buffet and bar with spirits.

Egypt The most wonders of the world!
My experience with my guide Mohamed Badawy was excellent. We had a few days before my cruise and we toured the Aswan sites including Abu Simbel. His knowledge was amassing. It really helped me understand Egyptian history. Mohamed also accompanied me on my Nile cruise so at each stop I had an experienced guide. Our final cruise destination Luxor (Karnak) was certainly at the top of my highlights along with Abu Simbel. As for Covid he worn his mask the whole time! That in it’s self was heroic!
