5.00Outstanding tour! Guides were enthusiastic, highly knowledgeable, and fun. Accommodations were top notch. Cruise was comfortable and exciting. Most of all, the logistics were seamless and easy. My wife and I were treated as VIPs at every turn. I highly recommend this for couples who just want to take in the culture, history, and beauty- and leave the logistics to a dedicated team of guides and handlers.
Group Tour was unfortunately a private tour

3.00I booked the tour as a group tour - unfortunately I was alone, which I thought was a great pity as the experience in the group would have been much more entertaining. In addition, my (subsequently private) guide and I did not get along so well - his stories were not very factual and very personally colored (one-sided conservatively colored understanding of history). The ship MS Salicia, the crew, the program basically and also the food were excellent. I have nothing to complain about here. Also, the composition of the guests on the ship (many more groups or people with their own guides) was very great and mixed from all corners of the world.
Cruise excellent in the quiet of the Nile

5.00The Tower Prestige Cruise is quite new, the rooms are spacious and the service very careful and pleasant. The chef who is on the plate very nice and helpful, helps you in everything. I only have one doubt that I will have to solve with Viator and that is that they tell me at the purchase that they give me 2 bottles of water per day and person and on the boat they tell me that it is only the first day and 1 bottle per person. I don't understand this difference and I hope Viator will give me a solution.

5.00The itinerary was excellent. It includes all the top sites. The ship was lovely with good food and enjoyable evening entertainment. The option of having a private guide made our experience even better.
Egypt stole my heart. I enjoyed every minute of the day. The two-week vacation was too short. Thank you!

5.00Wow what an experience. Combined sightseeing and relaxation in sunshine . Recommend private tour-Salama was brilliant - great communicator in perfect English and on WhatsApp. Got us into sights early to beat the crowds . Nice balance of walking and explaining next to us but also giving us space to explore on our own . Superb itinerary . Some early starts but it meant we were there to see the dawn and avoid the heat and most crowded times . Helpful to bring a handheld fan even in November. For us, the evening/sunset excursions were particularly beautiful with the lighting in Luxor and Kom Ombo temples. The ship, Solaris 1 for us , was really nice ( first cruise for us), no motion sickness at all . Staff and other guests were friendly and helpful. Overall an amazing memorable experience.
Wonderful Experience

5.00Mohamed with Egypt Unlimited Tours was our guide on our 4 day 3 night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor. He is extremely professional and also very personable. He made us feel very comfortable throughout our trip. He is always punctual and prompt. As an egyptologist he is marvellous, and has a deep knowledge of the subject and is very passionate about it. While giving information on the sites, he keeps it interesting and takes care to avoid information overload, but is always ready for questions and clarifications. He also takes care to let guests have their own free time to explore the sites after his explanations, so you don't feel like you're being hurried along without a chance to absorb the feel of the places we saw. We would definitely recommend him and Egypt Unlimited Tours for a great experience in Egypt!
Great tour from start to finish.

5.00Great tour from start to finish, a great guide (Mustafa) was knowledgable, able to answer any questions, and helped us get the tipping right. Very organised allowing the maximum time at the sites, all the drivers were always ready. Lovely staff on the Nile cruise too. The same comments for the Cairo stage of our tour too, (guide Khaled). Thankyou for making our trip memorable.
Simply Amazing

5.00After watching YouTube videos we were back and forth with the river cruise. However, the cruise was exceptional and the hot air balloon ride was over the top! A must do!
