Travellers should be...
Travellers should be advised of extreme weather ie high temperatures and it is not suitable for the elderly and people that have high blood pressure and heart conditions.We were aware of the optional tours ( Abu Simbel and hot air balloon) start very early. Although we were advised that all other tours start at 8 am ,we had to leave at 4.30 am for Edfu temple. There are too many tours crammed into the 4 day cruise. Travellers should be advised of additional costs for some tours eg visiting other tombs , unnecessary tipping at the tour sites and high prices of food and cool drinks for tourists.
There are no safety measures in place in case of an emergency at the tour sites.There was no safety briefing on the boat prior to leaving Aswan .

A pleasant experience.
Good vessel. Very pleasant sailing. Well organized on board. Decent food. Clean cabin. We had a problem with a water leak from the shower, and they ended up changing our cabin. Small pool, but it is appreciated. Bar next to the pool. The first day the boat stays docked in Aswan, and the visit for this day ends at 12:00 PM, so, unless you book an activity for the afternoon, you stay on the boat all day. This did not seem logical to us. The guide, decent.

This tour was definitely...
This tour was definitely worth it to not have to worry about navigating on our own. I feel it was the best way to see all the temples on our list. It was also great having a private guide. The staff on the cruise were all very friendly and professional. The food didn’t agree with us but overall for a little cruise ship it wasn’t bad. I would recommend this if you want to see a lot of temples and just for the experience of cruising the Nile river.

Amazing!!
Mohamad was an amazing guide. His English is excellent and his knowledge about the sites we visited was great. He tended to the safety and requirements of our group of women with grace and kindness.

Our guide Sam made the trip worthwhile
The trip started with a meet and greet at Aswan airport. The river boat representative was there to meet us and to hard us off to our private guide.
The river boat was nice with a lounge and bar and also a pool/spa on the top deck. Breakfast/lunch and dinner was buffet style on a lower deck. Food was mostly local menus. The cabin was good size and the bathroom was reasonable size. The shower was hot and strong pressure.
The tours Itenerary were arranged by tour boat company. Our guide Sam, was with us for all tours, arranged for the tickets. He was very knowledgeable about all the Egyptian temples that we visited and provided not only the historical facts, but all the back-stories.he was funny and engaging. He also arranged the private car and drivers for the excursions, including the boat ride to visit the Temple of Philae.

Wonderful Family Nile Cruise!
We had a fabulous four-day, three-night cruise experience aboard the Lady Mary. From the very beginning, Rania was incredibly helpful with organizing everything. She was always prompt, responsive, and helped us put together an itinerary that worked perfectly for our family.
Our guide, Ahmed, was absolutely amazing with the kids and quickly became like a real friend to us during the trip. We asked if we could have a slightly different touring style to better accommodate our family and the way we travel with children, and he was extremely understanding and accommodating. He truly helped make the entire experience enjoyable and fun for the kids.
The Lady Mary itself was a beautiful boat, and our suite was lovely with stunning views with openable windows. The crew was fabulous. The pacing of the cruise was excellent, and we really enjoyed all of the places we visited along the way.
Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience, and we would highly recommend this four-day, three-night cruise.

Egypt classic, amazing experience
Mohammed and Egypt Unlimited Tours planned our travel along Upper Nile region and Cairo. We’d like to pinpoint something that could have gone better, just to make this review sound more authentic and to contribute in an improvement but we can’t find out anything.
The assistance from booking, to airport formalities and then all along the trip was absolutely spotless.
Our guides, Ahmed for the Nile region and Amal for Cairo, were not only very professional. Apart from all the interesting notions they shared with us, they were the most nice people to spend time with and to talk about culture and daily life.
We should also mention that the local food we tasted was simply delicious.
We absolutely recommend Egypt Unlimited Tours for your visit. Egypt is an amazing country and the recent opening of GEM museum in Cairo is the perfect excuse to start planning a trip.
Daniela and Filippo
Ps. A short note on the current unstable international situation (we are in May 2026) Egypt is a perfectly safe Country to travel to, as Mohamed assured us before leaving.

Highly recommended private guide
Boat in general: do not expect super luxury because it is not, but overall it is quite good.
Room: prettier than the rest of the boat and of very good size. Like any hotel room.
Buffet: not very varied but quite tasty
⭐️Guide: We chose the private guide option and it was the best decision. It was super comfortable because we had a car just for us and our guide Salama was excellent.
Overall, I highly recommend it; I do not see how to make this trip without an agency.
Tip: do not carry cash dollars to pay for optional tours, like Abu Simbel, as they require the bills to be in perfect condition. It is better to pay with a card.

The experience.om the...
The experience.om the boat was wonderful, truly top notch. But our tour guide was terrible. He was abrasive, condescending, and not particularly informed. I would have been better served with a pre-taped audio guide.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE
Unforgettable experience, we truly learned about the wonders of Egypt and its history thanks to our guide, Mohamed, who dedicated all his time to us, generously sharing his knowledge, and we visited many sites and temples we never imagined. Thank you very much, you deserve a 10/10
