Great sites plus great guide equals perfect vacation!
First and foremost, our guide Amro was superb. He was very professional and very knowledgeable about all the sites. He answered all our questions and provided more information that we had ever known about Egypt before. He kept us safe and led us to paths at the sites that were so informative. He was like family to us. From hotel pickup in Aswan all the way to Luxor, he made everything run so smooth and seamless. Such a great guide! Thank you Amro and Viator. All the best for you and your family.

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.

Lovely cruise with great tour guide
We had a wonderful time on the cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Very nice people, nice food and great excursions. Our private guide Adham knew a lot about everything we visited. He gave us enough free time and always let us decide how much time we needed. Communication with him was great and he really gave us a lot of tips on how to handle certain things in Egypt and on the boat. It was great not having to worry about anything for a few days and we would totally recommend this cruise and especially Adham as a tour guide!

A wonderful family adventure
We learnt so much about ancient Egypt and the history of the pharaohs and the Greco Roman era. Our guide, Mohammed Salman, was excellent - very learned and very kind and helpful. He was clearly well liked by everyone we met. The rooms were most comfortable and the buffet dinners and lunches were delicious. This is an excellent way to see many beautiful temples in a short period of time.

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.
