Aswan to Luxor Cruise and private guide - exceptional experience
If we could give this tour package more than 5 stars we would. The cruise ship (M/S Medea) and staff were friendly, attentive and went out of their way to ensure our trip exceeded expectations. Our private tour guide Mohamed Badawy was truly one of a kind. We have travelled extensively to many countries, and enjoyed all our tours, however Mohamed Badawy was hands down the best we have ever experienced. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, very organized and attentive. We felt very lucky to have Mohamed Badawy as our private guide. We would not have had the same experience with anyone else. We highly recommend this tour and to request Mohamed Badawy. We will be recommending Mohamed and this cruise experience to our family and friends.

4 day 3 night Aswan to Luxor Cruise
Just finished 4 day 3 night cruise and are now waiting for plane back to Cairo. All the days were up early and long, but we learned so much about Egypt and so many temples. We had a private guide who helped us every day, his name is Sayed. Thank you Sayed for all your help, and great knowledge on all the temples. I would recommend Sayed and this tour group. Cheers 🍻

Mixed reviews
Mustafa was our guide and he was really great and helpful. I rate him 5/5. The admin from Egypt Tours Online was not the best. 2/5. It was difficult to communicate with the company as you could only communicate via the Viator app. This resulted in incorrect internal flights as the tour operator gave us incorrect information. Mustafa helped by helping us sort out the flights which was really kind.
We only found out on the day after being picked up by Mustafa and the driver which cruise we were going on, Nile Style. The cruise is not five stars. Rooms are very small and not as pictured. The cruise ship is in desperate need of a revamp. The bathrooms were not cleaned 100% from previous use. It would have been helpful if we knew which cruise we were going on first so I could have upgraded the room or chosen another cruise ship. Bed was hard and there were patches and pieces of wood covering the walls in the room obviously where there were holes or dents. The walls are very thin and with the engine constantly running, you hear everything. WiFi hardly works on the ship. Food is great and being a vegetarian the staff were very accommodating.
Carry lots of small change as you have to tip everyone.
The private tours itself provided by the company were great. Mustafa gave us plenty of free time and provided cold water on arrival. His retelling of ancient Egyptian history was commendable and enjoyable.
Not mentioned on the list is also a visit to a perfume gallery, alabaster factory and papyrus factory.

Outstanding cruise and efficient communication with Mohammed
Mohammed was outstanding. After booking through Viator, I wanted to confirm everything that was in the package and his responses were prompt. Everything which was promised was delivered to perfection. Absolutely loved the cruise and our private guide (worth paying extra and getting a private guide). They are focused on your family no one else throughout the journey of the trip and they ensure everything runs smoothly as there are many destinations to visit. I also had a last minute flight cancellation to Abu Simbel and I had to find a way to get their with a private car. I contacted Mohammed and he arranged the private transfer and a private guide at Abu Simbel for a decent price. Highly recommend this company. Mohammed made this part of our 2-week trip to Egypt one of the highlights!

Amazing.
Unlimited Tours organized our cruise and tours to many highlights of Ancient Egypt with perfection. Every logistic aspect was taken care extremely well. Our private Egyptologist Ahmed Salama was exceptional, very knowledgeable and pleasant. We were traveling with our two boys (9 and 12 years old), and Ahmed was a success with all of us. The cruise was amazing, the boat modern and super comfortable, and the food very good. Every transportation from the boat to the landmarks was punctual, comfortable, with A/C. We fully recommend Unlimited Tours, the cruise and Ahmed Salama.

Stellar Experience on the Nile with Amro, The Best Guide you Could Have!!!
This was the trip of a lifetime for us and we had just the tour to match.
To start off with, we booked the 4 Day, 3 Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor with Egypt Unlimited through Viator. Right after booking, Mohamed contacted me to confirm details and welcome us. all through the process, he was very helpful and prompt with his replies. He also set up a couple of amazing extra tours as well.
I highly recomend Abu Simbel tour and the Luxor Hot Air Balloon ride. Do both of these outside of cruise, as the cruise is a packed itinerary.
All of the tours were top notch and that is thanks to our amazing tour guide, Amro. I would recommend asking for him by name if you can. He is extremely knowledgable, patient and kind. It was fabulous having him lead us through Egypt and its history. Not only was he well versed and studied ancient Egyptian culture, we could tell that he loved his countries past and enjoyed sharing it with us. I'm just sad that it was complete overload with all of the sites, temples and tombs that we visited.I only remember the high points. I should have recorded his presentations.
Amro was very patient and helpful in so many ways. We were travelling with two friends who are mobility challenged. Amro was always there to assist, adjusted our pace to match. He also helped us book busses, meals and gave us sage advice on shopping. He made it clear that his first priority was our happiness and not a schedule or commissions. He also made changes on the fly to match our tastes. Instead of going to the High Dam, we wanted to visit the Nubian Village, and he made it happen. It was so worth it.
Once again, ask for Amro. He will make your vacation an over the top experience.
Lastly, our cruise ship. We did not know what ship we would be travelling on until the last moment. This is standard for the Nile Cruises. I did a lot of research and it is very difficult to book a specific ship. In this case, Mohamed came through and booked us aboard the Concerto II. It is one of the best ships I came across in my research. the rooms were great, the food fantastic and the crew, extremely helpful. We could't have had it any better.
The entire trip on the Nile came together beautifully due to Amro and Mohamed. We are extremely grateful for everything you have done for us.
Thanks one again, we miss you already....

Amazing 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour
Great touring for Temples at Aswan and Luxor. We were so happy to have Nahmoud as our guide and explained the archeological histories of the temples we visited.The cruise was well organized and the scenery along the Niles river are magnificent. Cruise members are extremely wonderful to their guests and we enjoyed the dancing Egyptian dance party with no downtime. Food are awesome as well as a relaxation treat with the massage.
