Choose a better tour company.
Sights were fantastic, but our tour guides were not. Both had fairly heavy accents. One spoke so fast it was hard to take in. The other had trouble understanding our questions; had to repeat or rephrase several times. He would quickly run through some highlights of a site and then leave us on our own to"expore" for most of the time. Not sure whether he was just checked out or simply had very limited knowledge of the attractions. Also, the food on the boat, although plentiful, was mediocre, especially the desserts all bland.

Amazing tour!
We had a wonderful experience with Egypt Unlimited Tours. It truly was a 5 star tour. They took care of us providing personalized service from the time we stepped off the plane in Cairo until we boarded for our return home. Accommodations were all 5 star including our Nile cruise ship MS Medea. There were four of us and we were so happy that we chose this tour when we saw the large crowds on other tours jostling each other to get close to the major attractions. We were able to tailor our days to our specific interests. Our guides were the best. We had Harris with us in Cairo and Mustafa with us starting in Aswan until we boarded the plane in Luxor for our return to Cairo. We learned so much not just about the history but also the spiritual relevance of the sites we visited. We also were treated to the favorite local cuisines of our guides and best shopping areas. Our grand finale was after hours private entry to all chambers inside the Great Pyramid that Mohammed was able to arrange for us at our cost. If you want a personalized 5 star experience and to learn more than just the facts about the pyramids of Egypt we highly recommend this tour.

A fuir, je ne recommande pas
Compagnie très chère qui change le programme de base. Nous devions faire la descente du Nil dans le bateau Miriam (ce qui justifiait vaguement le prix de l'agence), mais au final, nous avons fini dans un bateau de bien moindre qualité et un équipage peu aimable (sauf un des chefs cuisiniers)
Au niveau des guides, sur tout le séjour, nous en avons eu trois différents : deux excellents et une qui récitait juste le livre d'histoire et était relativement méprisante. Le bémol des guides des agences, c'est qu'ils nous orientent toujours vers des commerces souvent en lien avec eux et aux tarifs bien plus élevés qu'à d'autres endroits.
Le conseil que je pourrais donner, c'est de fuir les agences. Les transports ne sont pas chers et sont faciles d'accès (Uber, navette via les hôtels ou des tours directement sur place). Les entrées ne sont pas chères sur place ou via Internet. Et au niveau des guides, vous pouvez les trouver sur Internet eux aussi.
Cela vous évitera des conflits au téléphone pour essayer de les motiver à respecter le programme et cela évitera que votre portefeuille se vide sans réelle raison. Et ça évitera aussi d'être pris pour des idiots avec des excuses douteuses juste pour justifier leurs arnaques ou leur incompétence.

Iconic Egypt, flawlessly executed!
Visiting Egypt to see the magnificent sights has been a lifelong dream of mine and my experiece with Egypt Unlimited Tours and our Egyptologist guide, Salama, was absolutely exceptional. Traveling with my son from California, the coordination navigating from arrival to return to the airport and everything in between to explore and experience Egypt’s most iconic sights was executed smoothly and flawlessly and our guide, Salama, brought the history to life in a way that illuminated what we were seeing with relateable context. My son and I are still buzzing from the trip and feel forever touched and grateful to have had this experience. I highly recommend Egypt Unlimited Tours and Salama to guide you through an unforgettable journey that will literally change your life!

Amazing guided tour
This was an incredible visit! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, the river cruise very enjoyable, and we learned so much. We arrived a day early to acclimate, and got a tour of the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum. Great value for money.

Unforgettable Trip to Egypt
From the minute I contacted Mohamed he was responsive, helpful and incredibly professional. We are a family of 4 (children aged 17 and 14) and did a 9 day/8 night tour of Egypt with 4 nights in Cairo and 4 nights on a Nile River Cruise from Luxor to Aswan. The itinerary was customised for us, taking the things we wanted to see into account and covered everything you could possibly want to see, The hotel accommodation (Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons) was outstanding and the cruise ship (Sonesta) was excellent (especially the food). The trip was also excellent value for money - we could not have arranged it ourselves for the same price. Our guide Ahmed (Friday) has a masters in hieroglyphics and is working towards his PhD. He was extremely knowledgeable and brought the sites to life for us with a great mix of explanation and free time to explore. He also taught us some Arabic - our favourite phrase - "Yalla Bina " (Let's go!) Amongst the many many highlights, hot air ballooning in Luxor was once-in-a lifetime - don't miss this! We could not recommend Mohamed and Egypt Unlimited Tours more highly! One note is to make sure you budget for tips - there are a lot of people that help along the way including meet/greet at the airport, drivers, transportation (boats/feluccas/horse and carriage), as well as the guide of course.

Unforgettable 6-star tailor-made tour!
I can't rate Odynovo and the local guides and helpers highly enough! From the initial tailoring of our 10-day Cairo, Luxor, Nile River Cruise, Aswan, Abu Simbel tour with our travel consultant, Ms Maple Zheng, to our final flight home, we received 6-star service and support. Everything went off without a hitch. Upon arrival, the local airport rep, Mr Ramy Salah, whisked us through the immigration process, avoiding very long lines. The local reps at the airports helped us with the check-in process and even checked us into our local flights online. Our guides provided fast access to all of the sites. Cudos to our two amazing guides; Ms Nihal Nabil in Cairo and Mr Ahmed Youssri from Luxor to Aswan.
Our initial stay was at the historic Marriott Mena House over New Year's with a stunning view of the pyramids, which I can highly recommend. The Nile river cruise on the Movenpick MS Sunray was top-notch, and the food was incredible, with different themes each night. Our final stay was at the beautiful Movenpick Resort on Elephantine Island, with a panoramic restaurant overlooking Aswan.
I recommend flying to Abu Simbel vs driving 3 hours through the desert.

Shukran, Egypt Unlimited!
We enjoyed our tour thoroughly-the Egypt Unlimited team is prompt, professional and personable, and we received 5-star service from arrival to departure.
Covering historical, religious and cultural sites spanning five millennia(Pharoahs) to five decades(Cave Church) is a lot for an 8-day tour! Both our guides(thanks Sheema and Mostafa) were responsive to and respectful of our preferences and priorities.
What we did not expect (on the plus side) - optional and add-on tours definitely enhanced and enriched the entire experience. Abu Simbel in Aswan, Grand Egyptian Museum(GEM) in Cairo, day-trip to Alexandria showcase ancient wonders and modern marvels of engineering and art, while El Moezz/El Khalili streets and Coptic Churches of Cairo are living history and architecture museums.
What we did not expect (on the minus side) - early morning departures for transfers and tours, abrupt sandstorms that shut down towns and activities, noisy and crowded temples with only a fraction of peak-season visitors.
What to expect in Egypt - be prepared for extensive bargaining and frequent tipping.
We arrived in Egypt curious and cautious, enjoyed our 2-night extended stay beyond the 8-day tour and left contented and celebrating Egypt, past and present.

Organisation correcte mais plusieurs déceptions majeures
Nous avons réservé un circuit de 8 jours en Égypte via Viator, incluant les déplacements, les hébergements, la croisière sur le Nil et les visites guidées. Si certains aspects logistiques ont été bien gérés, l’expérience globale n’a pas été conforme à nos attentes ni à ce qui était annoncé.
Points positifs :
- Les transferts entre les villes ont été assurés comme prévu.
- Les hôtels et la croisière correspondaient globalement au niveau attendu.
- Certains guides étaient compétents et ponctuels.
Points négatifs :
1. Supplément Nouvel An (200 USD par personne)
Bien que ce supplément ait été mentionné à l’avance, nous n’avions pas été informés de l’intensité du programme autour de cette soirée :
- Le 31 décembre, nous avons pris un vol à 6h00 du matin depuis Le Caire vers Assouan, avec un départ de l’hôtel à 3h30.
- Le 1er janvier, nous avons dû partir à 5h00 pour l’excursion à Abou Simbel.
Épuisés, nous avons quitté la soirée du Nouvel An à 22h00, sans pouvoir assister au passage à la nouvelle année — une première pour nous. Ce supplément nous semble donc injustifié dans ces conditions.
2. Retour tardif et activité perdue le 4 janvier
Le retour de Louxor au Caire a été extrêmement tardif : nous sommes arrivés à l’hôtel à 3h30 du matin. Nous avons dû annuler l’activité prévue ce jour-là, sans possibilité de remboursement ou d’alternative.
3. Manque de transparence sur le programme réel
Plusieurs horaires clés (vols très matinaux, retours nocturnes) ne nous ont été communiqués qu’au dernier moment. Cela a affecté notre capacité à profiter pleinement du voyage. De plus, nous n’étions pas en position de contester sur place, de peur de compromettre la suite du programme.
Conclusion :
Ce voyage aurait pu être une belle expérience, mais il a été entaché par un manque de clarté sur l’organisation réelle et par des frais supplémentaires peu justifiés. Nous espérons que Viator tiendra compte de ces remarques pour améliorer la transparence et la qualité des prestations proposées.

Amazing experience in Egypt!
This tour is such a great way to see the main attractions throughout Egypt. It covered so many things in just 1 week. Having private tour guides was amazing. Rania in Cairo and Salama throughout the time on the cruise were perfect for us. They were so welcoming, knowledgeable, and enjoyable to be around. They made us feel at home. Egypt Unlimited Tours had everything covered from the day we arrived to the day we departed. The only suggestion I’d have is to give a little more advanced notice about pickup times, who we’re going to meet with, etc a little bit further in advance. We generally didn’t know what to expect for the next day until the day before, so was a little difficult to plan. But everything always ended up working out as we were told. Thanks for an amazing experience! Would definitely recommend this tour and tour company.
