The Guide Makes the Adventure a Success for this Family
Wow. Sayed was the private tour guide for our family. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Egyptian history but he’s also a very interesting,engaging and informative teacher. We felt so connected to the lessons he taught us about the Egyptian gods, temples, tombs and kings. His humor and kindness made us feel that he was more like a friend than a guide.We had two young children (4 and 2) which made it a challenge for him to plan our days. He involved the children in our activities! Our cruise was a success because of Sayed and his guidance. We encourage you to ask for him specifically.

an Excellent guide is a must for any Egyptian tour
We took nile cruise for 4 nights and additional Abu Simbel tour on Day 5 . It was a family holiday with a difficult combination of young boy of 10 and a young lady of 19! We added a few ‘ top up ‘ excursions - Hot balloon on valley of Kings was an excellent experience for all .Trip to Nubian Village at sunset was romantic and out of the world !
However - one simple advise never travel in Egypt without a experienced tour guide . It makes a huge. huge difference ! Unless you can speak fluent Arabic you won’t be able to enjoy here . Tips are expected everywhere, better to talk to the guide how much to give .
we genuinely felt lucky and blessed to have Sayed Taie . He was with us for 5 days ! from 4:30 till mid night ! He even took the hassle to see us off at the Aswan Airport on our way back to Cairo .
At times we struggled to convince my young boy to see temples after temples ! Sayed kept him busy with his very friendly gossips and stories - My Uni going daughter admired Sayed’s management in crisis !!
What we liked about this man we sincerely tried to make our tour a memorable one and saved money in lot of venues - Sayed even helped to bargain in local bazars . His jokes and funny stories made us laughing during long journeys.
I genuinely recommend Sayed Taie specially if you are planning a family holiday to Egypt .
Our Cruise ship was Acmar which is a standard Luxury boat - you can choose any boat ( i believe all are of same standard )

We had a great positive experience with Egypt Unlimited Tours
Everything was great on the cruise ship: Food, service on board, cabin, friendliness, entertainment.
Visits of the sites were also great. We had a very good guide (egyptologist).
Mostly, we had an excellent service from Egypt Unlimited Tours. Mohamed was always ahead of our needs. He is the best, very professional and efficient. He has a very good team with him.
We highly recommand Egypt Unlimited Tours and do not hesitate to book with this agency.

An EPIC trip with a fantastic company and great guides
What an epic trip!
Mohammed who runs Egypt Unlimited organised for us the 5 day cruise + Abu Simbel with Egyptologist and a day trip to Giza & Saqqara with Egyptologist.
Both of these trips were fantastic from start to finish. We do not normally book through an agency preferring to travel on our own but we quickly realised the cruises are best booked through an agency who know the boats and guides and can help you navigate it.
5 day Cruise (Luxor to Aswan) + Balloon + Abu Simbel
We had our own private egyptologist guide Ahmed Salame who was just amazing, he was recommended to us by friends who did this trip earlier in the year. Ahmed quickly figured out how we liked to operate and rearranged itineraries and offered his suggestions on how to get the temples at the best times. Not only that he managed to get things to happen on time (a miracle we later realised in Egypt!), plus his knowledge of the archeological sites, and being able to read the hieroglyphs was astounding. We had a fantastic journey with him and highly recommend him to everyone!
Plus Ahmed and Mohammed managed to get us an upgraded boat and upgraded suite! It was the most amazing cruise I've ever been on!
TOP TIP: Add in an overnight stay in Aswan or Abu Simbel as the day trip out and back involves 7 hours of driving - eek!
Balloon ride - DO IT. We have done it before in Cappadocia but this was something special!! we were very happy we did it.
Giza + Saqqara Day Trip
Wonderful guide Ramadan took us to the pyramids with his very concise explanations and great suggestions it is no wonder he was named Guide of the year. Do request him if you can ; )
Again everything was organised incredibly well.
Final note: If I had to say anything it would be that I was a bit worried at the beginning because we only got email confirmations of things - no pdf itineraries or plane tickets until the last minute. But my worries were allayed as everything was perfectly planned and organised. We had trouble on our return flight as Egypt Air suddenly bumped a load of passengers to a later flight (grrrrr) but Mohammed was amazing at helping us out.

Exhilarating tour of Ancient Egypt
We arranged a 4 nights Nile cruise plus Abu Simbel tour, Valley of Kings balloon ride, and Giza/Saqqara guide with Egypt Unlimited. Mohammed and his team made this the trip of a lifetime. The guides were excellent and helped us make the best of each experience along the way. They are always available for help and advice and seem to really care about making the trip special. I would 100% recommend booking your tour with them.
We have never done a cruise or guided tour before, and it's not usually how we travel, but I wouldn't do this particular trip any other way due to the challenges in travelling independently around Egypt. It didn't feel like a 'package' at all, and we had flexibility to negotiate our schedules and activities. Having a private guide made a huge difference.

Exceptional experience
We had an amazing time on this trip. It was exceptional! Moustafa is absolutely wonderful! He’s an easy going tour guide that remained flexible with us throughout. We saw everything we wanted to see and even some extra. This is the best tour company we have experienced while traveling so far! I highly recommend both Moustafa and Egypt Unlimited:)

Great experience at your own pace
We were very pleased with Mustafa our guide. He graciously accepted our requests to modify timings of tours to minimize heat and crowds where possible. He adapted the pace and content of the tours to our interests. He kept us informed of the schedule and any changes to timings. He facilitated adding on a few additions to the package for reasonable fees. If you wish to see these sites at your own pace I highly recommend choosing this private tour option.

Great experience all round
The Nike river cruise was exceptional due to Ahmed Salama knowledge and passion of Ancient and Modern Egypt. In particular his skill to connect history and archaeology into an interesting story.
