Sayed the Great
The Nile cruise is an absolute must. You get to visit all the amazing places that make Egypt so magical. The boat was very clean and the staff kind.
It was an even more phenomenal experience due to our incredible tour guide Sayed!!
My friends and I had a blast. He truly went above and beyond. First, Sayed is so brilliant, he is a man who is proud of his culture and really stresses the importance of understanding why you visit each and every site. Being in the glory of the temples and witnessing something that been around for CENTURIES is such a beautiful sight to behold.
Sayed ALWAYS made sure we were well hydrated and was sooo patient whenever we needed anything (food, shopping, bathroom break). Even when the weather was especially hot he made sure we kept cool by buying us sugar cane juice and snacks.
Everywhere he went he would greet his friends with such admiration and was extremely honest about everything. Protective and knowledgeable making the whole trip that much more fun!!!
PLUS he’s an incredible photographer.
Thank you so much Sayed for being you. I’m so blessed to have gotten the opportunity to meet you. I will never forget you!

Amazing!
Mohamed was a great tour guide. So knowledgeable and so accommodating and very funny on top of that. Learned so much in such a short time. Definitely a tour I would recommend.

Crociera consigliata
Guida che parlava in italiano dedicata a noi veramente in gamba e preparata. Ottimo cibo. Tour che ha toccato i siti più importanti. Bisogna essere pronti a svegliarsi presto; si potrebbe migliorare qualcosa relativamente ai tempi (ad esempio al tempio di Kom Ombo abbiamo avuto poco tempo, a Luxor abbiamo attraccato a circa 30 min di macchina da centro). Comunque crociera consigliata

Expérience positive grâce à la beauté des sites visités, ne pas prendre l'option guide privé!
De manière générale, la croisière s'est bien passée avec une chambre de qualité, le personnel du bateau toujours agréable et la restauration variée et bonne. Le rythme est assez soutenu avec des visites très tôt le matin. Seulement une nuit de navigation, c'est dommage. Une première nuit à quai à Assouan et une troisième nuit à quai à Louxor.
Beaucoup de belles visites avec de magnifiques découvertes.
Nous avions pris l'option guide privé et quelle déception. Nous sommes déçus de celle-ci.
Les seuls points positifs sont la facilité de la logistique.
Passons aux points négatifs: guide privé sans plus value, visite rapide sur lieux, exemple de visite type: à l'arrivée explications rapides et brèves, non poussées. Il nous laisse un peu de temps pour prendre des photos en nous attendant à l'ombre sur un banc! Seulement trois visites détaillée, Philaé, Kom Ombo et Edfu. Loin de nos attentes!
Des propositions pour acheter du parfum, des papyrus et statues sur différents lieux, à fuir totalement, arnaque!!!!!!!! Dommage que ce soit notre propre guide privé qui nous propose cela! Visite du dernier jour très décevante car notre guide devait... prendre le train à 10h30!!!!! Nous avons donc fait tout très vite et même depuis la voiture avec des explications sans même sortir de la voiture! Vraiment nous ne recommandons pas de prendre l'option guide privé! Nous avons davantage appris avec le guide du routard!
Expérience générale globalement positif tout de même par la beauté des sites visités!

Not As Advertised
I did not get the cruise I selected and paid for. There was supposed to be belly dancing as entertainment. There was no entertainment at all! I purposely chose not to go to a belly dance show off ship because there was supposed to be a performance on ship. So I missed that opportunity. My guide even seemed puzzled about the lack of the entertainment.
The food was awful and very little to no Egyptian food offered. What Egyptian food offered was bland. Thank goodness I had traveled a week by myself without a tour group before the cruise or else I would have missed all the incredible food there is to eat in Egypt! It is amazing food! Some of the best street and local food there is!
I paid extra money to have a cabin to myself and was stuck in a grungy room that smelled like diesel fuel the whole time. I had headaches the whole time on board.
I got sick partly due to the smell and could not get hot water for a mint tea packet I had to ease my stomach nausea because hot water for drinking was only available during meal times in the dining room.
The only good thing about the cruise was my guide and drivers. Because I paid to have a private room, I got my own guide, who was the same the whole trip. This meant I had my own driver at each stop & excursion along the way. My guide and drivers were amazing. It was wonderful to get to know them. This also allowed me to spend more time at the sites and have a personalized tour based on my interests, which is not usually the same as others because I am not the typical touristy traveler.
If I ever get to return to Egypt, I would probably try a felucca or just travel by train and hire a guide & driver for the side trips separately if not part of the felucca reservation.

Amazing Egpyt Tour
Best trip, our guide Salama was honestly above what we expected, very knowledgeable, fun and friendly, took us to places that he told us about off tour that were so much better than you could imagine, also helped us out with anything we asked for from shopping, to getting a SIM card or escorting me to an atm, felt very safe and very welcomed in his company.
Thanks you for our great experience.

4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour with the best guide Hassan
My sister and I went on a Nile Cruise ,3nights-4 days on the Sonesta moon goddess. We booked through Laxor and Aswan Travel. They gave us a very good offer and all expectations were met. Our private tour was led by Hassan our tour guide, who made this trip all worthwhile. His knowledge, humor and reading our demeanor was spot on!!! I can recommend him to anyone wanting a tour guide for their trip. Just ask for him when you book to be your guide. Staying an extra day in Luxor is worthwhile as there are many things to see beside what was included in the cruise itinerary. Hassan planned our tours for this day as well and choose the most awesome sights to see. This cruise is definitely recommended with Hassan as your tour guide!

La chambre était bien et...
La chambre était bien et les lits confortable mais la climatisation beaucoup trop forte.
La salle à manger était peu agréable, la nourriture moyenne et les serveurs bien que gentils étaient parfois mêler. Pas beaucoup d'atmosphère en général. Bref correct.
Avis: augmenter un peu vos forfaits et incluer les breuvages (sauf alcool) dans le prix.
Enfin, notre guide privé était exceptionnel, il a fait oublié le négatif.

Ballades égyptiennes
Raja le guide privé qui nous a accompagné le long de la croisière, bateau vieillissant mais pas trop bruyant.

Nile Cruise with excellent tour and guide
This review is for Egypt Unlimited Tours and Saeed as a private tour guide, and we were a small group. We had a fantastic experience. Saeed is a very knowledgeable, personable tour guide who is passionate about sharing Egyptian history and culture and made everything fun and entertaining. Egypt Unlimited Tours is also excellent, being attentive to all your needs and requests, and is very responsive and easy to work with. Both Saeed and the tour company speak excellent English. We highly recommend both Egypt Unlimited and Saeed and would absolutely use them again any time.
