Amazing all round experience made very special
Wow where can I start...
We started in Aswan where I was picked up directly from the station without any issues. I kept in constant contact with the tour organiser beforehand who was so helpful throughout - anything I needed or any concerns I had they dealt with quickly and easily through whatsapp.
My tour guide during the trip was Mohamed and was sooo accommodating and knowledgeable!! He joined us for the cruise so was always accessible when needed, at the same time he understood that personal time is always needed so we found a great balance between visiting sites and relaxation.
Regarding the cruise and tour itself it was very well structured but with Mohamed he always offered flexibility to ensure the experience was tailored to my desires. There were times where there were activities programmed however I was interested in seeing other things when it came down it. Without blinking he said sure we can make it happen - trying to make my visit as unique as possible for me. This for me was one of the best aspects of the trip. Speaking to some guests with other tour companies I didn't get the same impression that their tour guides had their best interests at heart.
For eg. the last night I wasnt interested in having dinner on the ship so he took me out for a traditional Egyptian dinner, shisha, took me around the local area showing me the local culture. He even bought me a present during the trip ahah!!
Before heading to Egypt I knew that tours were usually combined with sales opportunities and that the guides usually take a commission, however throughout the trip with Mohamed he didn't try to push anything onto me and made me feel as comfortable as possible.
Regarding the cruise was pleasant and relaxing with a good selection of food for meals and the rooms were maintained to a very good standard.
I must add that on the last day I had to catch a flight in the early afternoon, and then had to travel from Cairo airport to its main station Ramses for a train. I tried to book an uber but it wasnt working and so I asked Mohamed the tour operator if he could help. He mentioned a price but I said I really didnt have much money... After I explained my situation he said ok no problem at all and said that one of his representatives will be waiting for me in Cairo when I land and that I can pay them however much I want to/could. This for me was a level of service that went above and beyond and I honestly couldn't believe it!!
All in all an experience not to forget, and I would highly recommend going with this tour company.

Wow !
It was an amazing experience !
The visits was so interesting and our guide, Hemdan, really passionate. He told us all the stories with passion and kept our attention until the end. We learned a lot and we are so happy about that. Plus, he was really kind with us, listening to our needs and desires. The driver from Edfu to Luxor, Ahmed, was also super nice. He stayed with us all the day and mad the ways so comfortable. Thank you so much to both of them.
The plan of the visits was well organized. The pick up at the aerport and the drop off last day really easy. They also changed the plan for us due to our flight and everything was done in few hours only ! Like this we did all the visits.
The organisation was perfect. Everything was done to make us relax. Our only preoccupation? Enjoy our time !
About the boat : Wow. Room so clean and comfortable. Varied and tasty food, top service with funny employees and nice shows after dinner.
We recommend this company 100% !
Thank you so much for making our trip unforgettable.

Great tour guide
The private tour part of our tour was excellent. We felt taken care of and our guide Ahmed El Ansary really brought the history to life. The cruise part was a bit disappointing with unfriendly staff and having to pay for water. The food was alright though. Overall a good experience

Excellent to know Egypt
Excellent Service, since we got off the plane we were very well received, the guide accompanied us on each tour, with a very good Spanish and great knowledge of all Egyptian history, the Cruiser has a very good Service, the stops are ideal, and the weather in each place is perfect. We ended with a balloon flight that we loved. Very good organization. Agency highly recommended, would definitely travel with them again.

An amazing experience! Thank you Mohamed and Mostafa!
An incredible cruise with our super guide speaking French Mostafa. An extraordinary experience. We've taken a lot of eyes. We travel a lot abroad but this cruise was one of our best experiences.
We very much appreciated the passion of our guide Mostafa who passed on a lot to us. We spent 4 exceptional days with him. He took care of everything!
In addition to the cruise, we added 3 visits: the Nubian village, Abu Simbel and the hot air balloon. These 3 things must be done. I strongly advise you. Big crush especially for ballooning. It’s impressive to fly over so many beautiful things, especially the Valley of Kings!
As for the cruise ship, we were on the Steigenberger Royal! We were the only French. The boat is very beautiful. What we appreciate is the kindness of the staff. The food is also good. Drinks are not included, but they are still the cheapest when compared to the Egyptian hotel drinks we were able to make.
There is a swimming pool on the rooftop of the boat with plenty of sunbeds. You can relax there during the cruise and enjoy the scenery.
Little clarification: we chose the formula with private guide. This formula is ideal to have time for explanations but also take photos. It also allows you to have a vehicle with driver to go from one place to another. It avoids being packed into a bus full of tourists.
Regarding Covid, on board, the health rules are very well respected, there is no need to worry about this.
Thanks again to Mohamed, the director of the agency! He set it up. We arrived the day before the cruise at Aswan airport. Representative picked us up at the airport and then at our hotel the next day.
Before buying the cruise, I contacted Mohamed via What’s App to get more information. He always responded very quickly. He even checked in on us on the cruise. He is honest and will always offer you very competitive rates that stand out from his competitors. So a big thank you Mohamed, chukran! And see you soon, inchalla!

Amazing itinerary and the best guide!!!
We had a great time on the cruise and with our tour guide Ahmed. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and made sure we were comfortable with our tours and itinerary. He communicated the plan to us ahead of time and gave us great tips for each of the places we visited. We got to experience a lot in 4 days. We were never rushed. Ahmed would always make sure we were hydrated, had our hats, and would offer to stop to get cash or anything we may need before and after our tours. Ahmed also arranged a covid test for us which was very convenient. The test was taken in the cruise ship and we didn’t have to go to the hospital. We were pleasantly surprised with Ahmed attention and for being so courteous to us during our cruise. We not only highly recommend Egypt unlimited tours but our guide Ahmed.

Well facilitated with exceptional service
This tour package was my favorite of all the things we did while in Egypt. It was well facilitated and they even accommodated our additional needs (i.e. covid testing for departure.) Our guide Ahmed was awesome! Very knowledgeable, informative and easy going. Our organizer Mohamed was very helpful throughout the booking process and kept in touch throughout. Everything on the itinerary was laid out and transitioned well so there were no surprises on what to expect. It was above and beyond my expectations when comparing to other tours we did while in Egypt. I definitely recommend Egypt unlimited for booking all of your tours. We added the Abu Simbel tour onto our cruise and it was well worth it, my favorite temple on the itinerary. The cruise itself was a nice change of pace and very similar to American style cruising with very clean and spacious cabins and a great buffet and bar with spirits.

Egypt The most wonders of the world!
My experience with my guide Mohamed Badawy was excellent. We had a few days before my cruise and we toured the Aswan sites including Abu Simbel. His knowledge was amassing. It really helped me understand Egyptian history. Mohamed also accompanied me on my Nile cruise so at each stop I had an experienced guide. Our final cruise destination Luxor (Karnak) was certainly at the top of my highlights along with Abu Simbel. As for Covid he worn his mask the whole time! That in it’s self was heroic!
