5 star Nile Cruise and Sightseeing
Mahmoud Noor was our tour guide for this trip and he was fabulous! He not only enthusiastically shared his extensive knowledge of Egypt's history and culture, he was instrumental in helping us get the right price for our souvenirs, helped us find and use ATMs, purchase water at a reasonable price, and even helped those who needed to stop at a pharmacy. Mahmood was so very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable that I can't imagine there being a better tour guide than him! Egypt Tours Portal made it very easy to add on extra activities which we were interested in doing and exceedingly helpful when my return flight home was canceled and I needed to add an extra night at a hotel and an extra day of sightseeing.

Amazing Family experience with lifelong memories!
Mohamed Abdelghany was our tour guide for our recent trip to Luxor and Aswan. He was absolutely amazing! Mohamed has a vast knowledge of Egyptian history and culture, and he was able to make the ancient temples and tombs come alive for us. He was also a great storyteller, and he kept us entertained with his tales of the pharaohs and their gods.
We especially enjoyed our visit to the Valley of the Kings, where Mohamed showed us the tombs of Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and other famous pharaohs. He was able to answer all of our questions about the tombs and share some of his favorite portions of the temple.
We also visited Karnak Temple and Edfu Temple, and Mohamed was able to give us a fascinating tour of both. He explained the symbolism of the temples, and he showed us some of the hidden chambers and pointed out so many things we would have missed on our own, not to mention some of the best places to take photographs!
Mohamed is a true Egyptologist, and he is passionate about his work. He is also a great people person, and he made us feel like we were part of his family. We highly recommend Mohamed Abdelghany as a tour guide, and we would love to go back to Egypt with him again someday.
Overall, Mohamed Abdelghany was an amazing tour guide. He is knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly. We highly recommend him to anyone who is planning a trip to Egypt.

Cruise Luxor Aswan
Very nice experience to take a cruise on the Nile. I recommend the use of a private guide that represents a real plus. Private minivan , explanations in French , flexibility in the planning. In short indispensable. Our guide Rajab was great.

Best 5 days ever spent on a tour
Loving every minute of this tour. Probably the best tour I’d ever done and I’d been to at least 26 countries so I’d done many tours. Our tour guide Sayed exceeded all expectations and is amazing, we never had to worry about anything and he took the best care of us, it was like going on vacation with a family. He also took us to Nubian village which we would never have found out by ourselves or even have known how to get there and it was one of my favorite parts of the tour, he even told us how much we should pay or tip so we never overpaid for anything. I loved the experience so much so I highly highly recommend it. Sayed is also very knowledgeable about the history and facts but he also allows us enough time to browse, take pictures and rest, he also has connections everywhere so we rarely ever have to wait for any attractions visits and we saw long lines of other people everywhere else, he’s made this trip perfect and I wouldn’t have had this level of experience if it wasn’t for him, so if you’re considering joining the tour 100% you should do it, better yet you should request Sayed when booking the tour specifically. I promise you won’t regret.

Definitely a 5-star cruise
Accommodation: The boat was definitely not a 5-star cruise. The photos are not at all representative of what you get in terms of accommodation and we were very disappointed from the moment we got on the boat as it was well below our expectations. What you get is more of a 3-star. The accommodation was still good, but we thought we were getting better. Also, I didn’t like that the boat had a clothing shop with the merchant asking you if you wanted to buy something every time you passed him on the way to your room…
Guide: Our guide Mahmoud was excellent. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to. The only thing I would have preferred is if he customized his style more to us rather than do it his own way. For example he often made us walk and listen to him talk before leaving us to explore freely. I’m a photographer and I would have preferred to have him accompany us throughout the complex and explain things as I’m shooting. I need the freedom to explore and ask questions - this is the reason I book private tours. Nevertheless, Mahmoud was an amazing guide.
Transportation: overall good transportation, but a few of the cars had tight legroom because they were sedans. A 5-star tour on Viator usually has an SUV.

Great tour with great guide
Amazing experience with a great guide who shared a lot of knowledge with us and also have us free time to explore at each site.
Food was good on the boat and rooms are clean and comfortable.

Experience the wonders of Egypt
Ancient Egypt is a source for many of childhood wonder. Pyramids, animal headed gods and temples. To actually experience the glory of this ancient civilization is something else. Modern Egypt maybe a juxtaposition of ancient majesty and modern deprivation but a more welcoming and hospitable people you will not find. Yes, you will need to tip for everything but that is the reality of a country that has been subjected to repeated colonial rule and home grown dictators! The people experience a great deal of hardship, so put yourself in their position and be generous! A 2-week tour of Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel allows you enough time to see these major sites but you will also leave out much of what this amazing country had to offer. To get the most out of your time there are 3 things I would recommend... 1 a thoroughly planned itinerary with every detail considered, to that end Egypt Unlimited should be your first choice. 2 take a cruise down the Nile. There are faster ways to see Egypt but there are none that are more evocative. The nile has been the source of life for Egypt for thousands of years and to understand that, you must experience the river. 3 a guide who knows the highlights, the context of history, and can bring to life stories that were first told 4000 years ago. That's Mo, his knowledge, humor and experience ensure that as his guest you will get the very most from your visit to Egypt.

A great trip on the Nile
I booked this trip because I had heard that it was amazing. The cruise was excellent, the service on the ship was very good. The guide assigned to me, named Samar Mansour, was wonderful. She is always willing to help me and answer all my questions about Egyptian monuments and culture. He knows a lot about the history of the monuments. Every day I was surprised by the energy I had, while fasting (I went in Ramadan). She is also an excellent photographer.
100% recommended the trip.

5 stars for adaptability efforts
We are not used to travelling with groups around us and in classic conditions.
However, we greatly appreciated the efforts of the boat manager, guide and tour operator to adapt to our pace of life.
The guide was very friendly and the private tours went very well.
The rooms were clean and furnished to feel comfortable.
The restaurant was well maintained and the produce, as well as the food of good quality.
The only problem was people who travel in a noisy and poorly educated group, but for 4 days you can take it.
