We recommend this 4 day 3 night Nile cruise.
We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise from Aswan to Luxor and can fully recommend it.
We had a private guide, Adham, who was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and who answered all our endless questions. Adham and Egypt Unlimited took care of everything from the moment we arrived at Aswan airport, to the organization of our transfer to the Red Sea at the end of the cruise. The drivers were very professional and were always punctual.
Our cabin on the boat was good and so was the food which was quite varied. The staff were all extremely helpful and very nice.
The only thing we would say is that the visit to Edfu temple was too short and did not do this magnificent temple justice.
We had a great time, we would like to thank Adham and Egypt Unlimited.

Recommend!
Was on this cruise in Oct 2024, from Aswan to Luxor. Here is my review of a few aspects:
Guide: Our private guide was Sayed. He has been doing this job for 15+ years and it shows. He proposed a formula we liked which was visit a place, give us the history and point out notable features, then let us take pictures for 20-30 mins. He was able to tailor the experience based on our interests. He knew a lot of shortcuts and stuff as well that made the experience all the better. Before the trip, we had read a lot from other reviews that people get scammed or pay way too much for stuff - we felt our experience with our guide was reasonable and could have been much worse.
Food: Food was good. I can see why people have mixed reviews, but it’s really a preference. I didn’t have any issues. There is a lot of food (buffet style) and it has variety.
Boat/cabin/deck: The decor was a bit old style, but the boat was clean and so was our cabin. For a boat cabin, it was big enough too. We got hot water in the shower. Cabin was well insulated.
The deck had a small pool, lots of lounging chairs and tables/chairs to eat. Was spacious.
Service on boat: Great service. The waiters, manager, cooks, everyone was polite and helpful.
Overall: Overall, I recommend this tour. It has options to add more activities if you want to ($) and we did not feel rushed and felt we had time to rest. We really appreciated that the tickets for the locations and experiences were included so that we didn’t have to stand in line each time and add that separately to the cost.

Crucero encantador con gran Guía Turístico
Tuvimos un tiempo maravilloso en el crucero de Asuán a Luxor. Gente muy agradable, buena comida y grandes excursiones. Nuestro Guía privado Adham sabía mucho sobre todo lo que visitamos. Nos dio suficiente tiempo libre y siempre nos dejó decidir cuánto tiempo necesitábamos. La comunicación con él era genial y realmente nos dio un montón de consejos sobre cómo manejar ciertas cosas en Egipto y en el barco. Fue genial no tener que preocuparse por nada durante unos días y recomendaría totalmente este crucero y especialmente Adham como Guía turístico!

Una maravillosa aventura familiar
Aprendimos mucho sobre el antiguo Egipto y la historia de los faraones y la era greco-romana. Nuestro Guía, Mohammed Salman, fue excelente - muy aprendido y muy amable y servicial. Claramente era muy querido por todos los que conocimos. Las habitaciones eran muy cómodas y las cenas buffet y almuerzos eran deliciosos. Esta es una excelente manera de ver muchos templos hermosos en un corto período de tiempo.

Muy recomendable Le Fayen
El Le Fayen es fabuloso en todos los sentidos, incluyendo la calidad de la construcción de habitaciones decoradas
La comida es buena y estilo buffet con variedad caliente y frío
Comparado con los otros barcos que vimos este barco es de primera clase

Memorable Experience
We had a very memorable experience on the Nile Cruise. Our guide Ahmed Salaama was very punctual from the time he picked us up at our hotel till drop off at the end of the trip. He was very knowledgeable, eloquent and provided good humour throughout the trip. We are very glad we got him as a guide on this trip as some of the other guides we had prior to the cruise weren’t as good.
We found booking the experience with Egypt Unlimited easy and the package is tailored perfectly to manage all the highlights needed between Aswan and Luxor. I would definitely recommend booking the optional Abu Simbel. The site is extraordinary and could very well be our favourite.

Amazing Tour!
The tour was fantastic. Everything on the itinerary was covered in great detail and we really enjoyed our time. Our tour guide, Amr looked after us for the entire trip and he was one of the best tour guides that we have ever had! His knowledge of Egyptian history was incredible and we learned so much. His English was also great and there was no issue at all with communication. Amr also made sure we were safe and comfortable during the trip. I would absolutely recommend Amr to any other tourists visiting Egypt.

Egypt's greatest hits without the hassle!
This is an excellent tour for anyone wanting to see all the main sights of ancient Egypt within a short time frame. We booked a private tour and our guide Sayed was brilliant - he clearly had a deep knowledge of Egyptology and seemed to know all the hidden tips n tricks at each of the tomb sights. We also really appreciated that he tailored the tour to our style - allowing us time to walk the sites by ourselves and at our own pace after first providing a thorough overview. There was also zero pressure to buy anything during one of the shop stops. Given there is very little information provided at most of the main sites beyond the occasional billboard - having someone like Sayed is essential.
