Egypt Tour- Trip of a Lifetime!
Our 8 day Egypt tour with airfare and Nile Cruise through Here Egypt Tours was everything I dreamed of. Our guide, Mohammed, in Cairo made us feel right at home. Our tour of the Sphinx and Great Pyramids was fascinating and a wonderful introduction to Egypt. Mohammed took us to his favorite lunch spot in Giza and ordered several local dishes for us to try- all delicious! The next morning we flew to Luxor to begin our Nile cruise with tours of the great temples of the pharaohs. Our guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history and taught us so much about each temple, its construction, the artistry, the sculptures, and the lives of the pharaohs and the queens they were built to honor. Michael was also very caring and helpful in getting us aid when my wife injured her knee. The Nile cruise ship was very comfortable, good food and great service. My favorite excursions were the safe, incredible hot air balloon flight over the Valley of the Queens and Kings- sunrise over the Nile-WOW, and the fascinating excursion to Abu Simbel ! Don't miss these! And Michael did a great job preparing us for the wonders to be found in the tours into a few of the kings tombs in the Valley of the Kings. The sculptures are well preserved and the colorful hieroglyphics on the walls are perfectly preserved to tell us the story of their lives. Be prepared for lots of walking and carry plenty of bottled water with you. Here Egypt Tours did a great job organizing the trip but especially finding tour guides Mohammed and Michael!

Avec la prise en charge extraordinaire depuis la descente de l’avion. Très utile lorsque la valise n’arrive pas du transit !!! Un grand merci à Hussein. Et grâce à notre super guide Mohamed pour les visites d’Assouan en toc-toc tous les 3… 👍 avec une précision dans ses commentaires des lieux, une écoute pour toutes les questions que nous lui posions. Vraiment il est super super top. Un peu moins bien (plus scolaire) pour la visite du Caire islamique et copte. Mais globalement une expérience époustouflante et une agence égyptienne aux petits soins même quand un avion intérieur a du retard et qu’ils organisent au pied levé une visite du musée de Louxor qui n’était pas prévue dans le programme.
Dommage pour le son et lumière des pyramides annulé au dernier moment, parce que c’est ramadan… C’est notre seul regret.
On repartirait bien dès demain.

Experience of a Lifetime
Amazing and unforgettable to see the great pyramid and Sphinx, as well as cruising the Nile to visit the Valley of the Kings. Our guides Hussein, Ahmed, & Mohammed were professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable on ancient and current Egypt, which was wonderful for my brother and I who were in the country for the first time. We had so much fun discovering and discussing the ancient gods and pharaohs, seeing the temples they built as well as where they were put when they died as they waited for the afterlife. We really enjoyed the day trip to a Nubian village where we swam in the Nile and it to hold a live crocodile. I’m so glad we took this fantastic top notch tour!

An efficient to see Egypt highlights for first timer.
This tour is a hassle free compact way to see highlights of Egypt, especially for first time visitors.
Our guide for Nile cruise, Yousef, was resourceful at beating the crowd, and he made ancient Egyptian history and hieroglyphs come alive for us with engaging stories. Our guide at Cairo, Harris, and Mr Hussein at Cairo airport were equally efficient and knowledgeable.
Crowd at Abu Simbel is hard to get around on this tour, unless you add a night there. Light and sound show at Cairo do not seem to run everyday so you may miss it. Luxor appears to be a nice walkable city that one can explore. We had dinner twice at the revolving restaurant at top of Grand Nile Tower hotel and we really liked it. Make sure you request a non smoking room at Cairo hotels, we were given a smoking room first then switched to non smoking.
Mr Mohamed, the owner? responded to our questions very quickly before and during the tour. In a complex tour like this in Egypt, thing may occasionally go off track a bit briefly, outside of tour organizer direct control, but Mr Mohamed addressed them very quickly when we reached out to him.

Exceeded our expectations
My husband and I participated in the Wonders of Egypt 9 Days/8 Nights Egypt Private Tour including 4 night Nile cruise organized by Egypt Unlimited Tours. We booked this tour based on excellent reviews we found on Tripadvisor. We did not know anyone that had used this tour company so we were a bit nervous but decided to take a chance and were very pleased that we did. We usually make all our own arrangements but knew that we could not do that efficiently in Egypt so handing the reigns to someone else and being part of a private tour was a very different experience for us. I dealt with the owner via email and he responded within 24 hours to my many inquiries. Once in Egypt we communicated using WhatsApp and again he was very receptive. They took care of all the details involving hotels (excellent choices - Sheraton & Le Meridien), domestic transportation (cars, planes, cruise, felucca, motor boats) and entrance fees - the only thing we did was buy our international airfare and visas. The tours guides, Mr. Ahmed and Mr. Mohammed were knowledgeable, friendly and experts in their fields, The representatives that picked us up at the airports were prompt, courteous and very efficient - thank you Mr. Hussein! The drivers expertly navigated the crazy traffic and got us to our destinations safely. All in all, a fantastic trip with memories that we will treasure forever and highly recommend Mohamed and his team at Egypt Unlimited Tours!

Egypt Unlimited - the best of Egypt!
Egypt is a top destination and Egypt Unlimited is the top-tier tour group. We found nothing but Egyptian smiles, acts of kindness and friendship across our visit.
From the beginning to end of our 8 day tour, Mohamed and his team facilitated every movement, short cut, entrance, possible additional things to do or see with a team that are professional Egyptologists, considered insiders by the locals, experts on past and present Egyptian culture, and care about you and your precious vacation time in Egypt.
I could go on about the entire tour, but I want to highlight a few things here:
- Mohamed will upgrade you in the most pleasant of ways! We had the best hotel room at the Nile Tower, first class tickets to Aswan, the best room on the boat, he booked us a hotel day room in Luxor when the winds prevented our balloon ride – this gave us additional time at the Valley of the Kings that day before our flight back to Cairo. Mohamed was in constant contact and quickly relayed praise we had given him about his team – he truly cares about you and his team!
- Hussein was our first contact. He met us at the Visa counter ($25 US per – cash) and whisked us past about a hundred or so people who were waiting in the customs line. We were probably in our hotel room before the people we were talking to on our flight made it through that line – impressive!!
- Magdy was our Cairo guide – both on the front and end. He helped us navigate the museum, pyramids, Mosque and Churches, allowing us time to take a zillion pictures while providing excellent commentary on the sites – overall perfect! We didn’t waste a moment getting to the important viewing points, cultural highlights, and significance of each site. His recommendations for restaurants were perfect. Please ask him for Koshary restaurant if able!
- Nora (Cairo) and Ahmed (Aswan) helped us get to the airport and other sites. Similar to Hussein, but for in country movements. They either met us at the hotel lobby and got us into the flight or greeted us on the other end. Both Nora and Ahmed on our second meeting gave us a small gift. Their kindness was sincere and without any conditions – we think they are both awesome young people!
- Ahmed our guide in Upper Egypt (Aswan, Abu Simbel, and every site to Luxor) is one of the finest persons we have ever met. Somehow, Ahmed picked up on our family’s humor on the first day and became more of a friend than guide! As an Egyptologist his skills are first class – seriously he is better than anything you have ever seen on National Geographic or Discovery. Ahmed’s presentation is flawless and his ability to surf the crowds and get you to the secret spots were evident. We snapped way too many pictures on free time and then asked Ahmed to help us figure out what was represented – he was always eager to help. Ahmed is a very proud family man and some of our favorite Egyptian memories were with him on the sunset felucca sail, and both Kom Ombo and Luxor at twilight. Ahmed has texted us since our departure to make sure we made it home safely – a true, genuine ambassador of Egypt!
Traveler tips: add WhatsApp for easy texts between team and Mohamed, get a VPN for your phone – leave in Airplane mode, no Wi-Fi available on boat while moving – a small fee in lobby when docked, it’s a long day to and from Abu Simbel - do not skip this opportunity, bring small candies for the kids, expect to be tired – this is so worth it!

Perfect holiday indeed :-)
This was the first time we visited Egypt. I traveled together with my two kids (14 and 16 years old) and I must say that we all had fabulous time. The service provided by Mohamed was perfect. The whole organisation of the 8 day holiday was smooth and flawless. Mohamed was always ready to help or answer any of our questions.
Our guides were very, very good with deep knowledge of egyptian history. Cruise was also very good and the hotel we stayed in was better than we expected.
Throughout our stay we felt looked after all the time. I can really recommend to use this company if you want to experience Egypt with great guides, focus just at the beauty of the the sights and have no worries about anything else. Thank you Mohamed!

Eight day trip (plus one)
Outstanding tour by Unlimited. Expert guides, seamless transfers airport/cruises/land.
Mohamed's team even handled some optional requests by adapting with a Sakarra trip. Also great additions of hot air ballooning over Valley pf Kings. Finally he handled a real curve ball when I had an extra day by arranging a 4x4 desert tour to Wadi el Hitan. Highly recommend

Could not imagine traveling to Egypt without this company!
First off, I asked 8 different companies in Egypt for a custom tour. Out of all the companies not only was this one the best, but it was also private. Anytime I had a question Mohammad would get back to me within 24 hours and was assisting 1 month before the trip and during the trip. The owner truly wants you to have a memorable time in Egypt. This package also has a hotel upgrade available, which I highly suggest. The Ritz Carlton was a great place to stay in Cairo. When we ran into an issue on the trip, this company stood by their product and upgraded us when they did not have to. Truly the best customer experience.
Now we have to talk about the amazing guide, the doctor. I have only been to Egypt once, but I could not imagine a better guide than Friday! He was incredible!! He was knowledgeable, answered so many of our questions, and was with us the whole trip. This company got a tier one guide. After our tour, he was off to a National Geographic tour which was probably triple the price we paid. He was an absolute delight to have. If I had to rank the best parts of the trip, he would be in the top 3.
If you are going to Egypt, the reviews of this company speak for themself. It is 5 stars, and it felt 5 stars. Thank you Egypt Unlimited for making the most memorable Egypt experience!
P.S. if you want my trip which I planned with Mohammad, ask for Kyle’s trip. I know I am a voice on the internet but I travel a ton, and when I travel I make sure to do everything!
