Informative and flexible guide on a beautiful cruise
This company made it really easy for us. We were in contact with the owner (Mohammed) very soon after booking. They picked us up from the airport and dropped us off at our hotel in Aswan and picked us up for our cruise two nights later. We had an awesome time with our guide (a different Monhammed). His passion for and education in archeology really came across for us. Even though every day we were up early (4:30am for optional Abu Simbel and 6am for the other days) his enthusiasm was always present and helped us to feel energized too. We are vegan and both Mohammeds (our guide and the owner of the company) made every effort to accommodate us including hiring a car instead of using horse carriages for our visits (please request this option if you can - the horses are clearly mistreated and overworked). Our guide helped us to buy tickets for the optional sites and tombs. He also had notebooks with pictures that he had put together to help explain the significance of certain aspects of the sites and show how the sites might have looked. Mohammed also seemed interested in the latest information archeologists had found and explained the significance of discoveries made as recently as a week ago. We asked a lot of questions about different sites and Egypt in general and Mohammed (our guide) happily answered them all. He was incredibly respectful and respectful to everyone including merchants, drivers, and other passengers on the cruise. We felt safe and taken care of the whole time. We had a wonderful time! We would recommend him to everyone! We're glad to have booked with this company :)

You can trust Mohamed
My husband and I loved the cruise from Aswan to Luxor! Our own private Egyptologist, Ahmed, was extremely knowledgeable about Abu Simbel, Edfu, Karnak, and everywhere in between.
I ended up booking my entire nine-day trip with Mohamed Mostafa of Trip Advisor after seeing that all of their day trips were so highly rated. I recommend doing it this way! He booked the domestic flights within Egypt, a Nile Cruise, and all the sights in Cairo and Giza for a reasonable price. I heartily recommend Mohamed. I felt like I had a travel agent on the ground both before and during the trip.
Notes on the MS Mayfair: We stayed in the Presidential Suite on the MS Mayfair. The room was huge, with a balcony. This morning I sat on the balcony watching the sunrise as the hot air balloons flew over the West Bank near Luxor. I also liked sitting on the sun deck in the cool of the evening. The boats all stack up when they dock at Aswan and Luxor, so we could not always open our curtains due to lack of privacy with the other boats so close. You have to walk through all the other boats when you get on and off the boat. It was fun to see the other boats; the Mayfair is not the newest of the boats, but I thought the accommodations were lovely. All the people working on the Mayfair were friendly and helpful. Absolutely top notch.

Gorgeous trip with best tour guide ever!!
We have done the four days Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with some additional tours (private day trip to Abu Simble, boat ride to Nubian village near Aswuan with Nile swimming). Everything was well organised, accommodation and service on the cruise ship were very pleasant (we even got a free cabin upgrade!) and we enjoyed the excellent food (in particular the regional dishes). But it was our tour guide Mahmoud "Russell" Raslan who made this journey unforgettable: He is a very amiable, knowledgeable, intelligent, warmhearted, smart guy who explained us each of the countless highlights, made the history of thousands of years vivid and colourful, and had an answer to virtually every question. Be it history, mythology, hieroglyphs, the country and its people (back then and today), he is on top of everything, always presenting in an entertaining and never teaching way. Last but not least, he gave us many tips what to do - and what NOT to do (so he prevented us from getting scammed, or even worse things). So ask for "Russell" when booking a tour!
Mahmoud, thank you so much, it was fascinating time and a great pleasure!!

4 spectacular days on the river Nile
After reading many reviews on trip advisor we finally narrowed down our tour with Egypt Unlimited and I must say it was the best decision. Mohamed ensured that all my queries were answered at the time of booking. We sailed on M/S Tamr Henna. The cabin was clean , food delectable and the staff ever so friendly. Me and my husband loved every bit of our stay. Our tour guide Mr. Mohamed is excellent at his job. He is highly knowledgeable and humorous least to say. He was always patient in answering all our (sometimes silly) questions, waiting for us to finish our photo session and kept us entertained throughout. I would highly recommend a private tour with EUT as they are best in their class.
Happy Travel !! :)

Wonderful Arrangements
It has been a magnificent journey.We enjoyed each and every moment. They were very much helpful and friendly. What they said in our itinerary, they provided the same. I would like to recommend them if someone wants to have a private tour in Egypt.

4 days 3 nights Nile Cruise
Egypt has always been in my bucket list and this year we managed and planned a trip of 17 days. One of our freinds reffered unlimited tours so we thought of contacting them. from Day 1 we were amazed by their behavior especially Mohamad with whom we planned everything. He was very organized and thought of every detail that a first time Egypt traveller would need. The Cruise he arranged was really good, all the sight seeings were private which we appreciated the most. The guide he tagged us with was very knowledgable and helpful too. Whatever he promised in the intinerary, he provided exactky the same or even more in cases. Would recommend him if anyone is planning a trip in Egypt.

Wonderful trip
My friend and I did a private guided tour in Aswan and Luxor. A tour guide Mostafa has experienced for 12years and he is super friendly and knowledgeable about ancient Egypt. He taught us lots of historical stories and offered us some opitional tours was strongly recommend to take those (Visiting to Abu-Simbel temple,Nubian villege and Balloon tour)
And also they made pick-up arrangements at the airport to our hotel,even after the private tour,they organized a car to the airport for next day after of the last day of the tour.
The Nile river cruise was one of my best momoeires of this tour.the view from the deck was incredibly beautiful which never get tired of seeing it.
The hospitality of the staffs was impressive.
Thank you for organizing everything for us and we had so much fun with you Mostafa. Hope to see you again in Japan

Best private tour ever!!!!
We visited Egypt for the first time without any knowledge on the Egyptian history. Our tour guide and now our friend Mostafa was very friendly and taught us not just surprisingly detailed histories behind countless temples we visited during the tour but also local cultures and traditions which we can’t easily reach out even through the internet.
Also the tour itself was so organized that we didn’t have to worry about anything. Cars were sparkling clean, the drivers always picked us on time with no issues, and we were able to enter the historic places and famous souvenir shops they recommend very smoothly. They helped us getting to the airport even though our flight was the day after the last day of the tour!
The view from the cruise ship was nothing like I’ve ever seen in my life and the services and hospitality provided by the staffs of this cruise were excellent.
Thank you all for making this trip invaluable and unforgettable and hope to see you again in the future, Mostafa.
