8-Day Private Tour Cairo, Aswan, Luxor and Nile Cruise Including Air Fare

On the barge, the staff speaks little English, mostly Arabic and French. I had problems with food for celiacs and I was very sick because they didn't know how to tell me well which meats or fish were gluten-free and the first few days they didn't serve me gluten-free bread. Then the guide intervened because he understood the situation better and everything went better. The cabins were noisy (we were on the engine) and had a foul smell...otherwise the guide was very knowledgeable and helped me a lot when he understood the situation well.

Let me start by saying this trip was very good. First of all our flight that we booked changed and it had us arriving at 2:50 in the morning where originally we were supposed to arrive at 8 AM. I informed them of the change and they were very accommodating. When we arrived, there was someone there holding up a sign with our names on it, and he was able to help us get through immigrations very easily. The entire trip was very informative. The guides gave us so much information and debunked a lot of myths that we came there with. I also wanted to mention the flight from Cairo to Aswan was awesome. They actually put us in first class, however on the return flight, we did have to fly Coach, but it was still a great experience.

My strong recommendation for our advisor Amal, who guided us from the beginning and was attentive to our trip, to our tour leader Karim, who accompanied us from the moment we arrived in Egypt and attended to us 100% professionally and exceeded what we had imagined this tour would be; we are truly surprised by the attention and commitment of every part and guide we had, to our guide at the pyramids and the Cairo museum, Mai, who accompanied us and explained in detail, and the DWA cruise, highly recommended as well, as well as the guide from Aswan to Luxor, Yehia Juan el Gizawy, who gave us one of the best experiences we have had; honestly, I highly recommend this tour.

We had a 10 day, 9 nights tour in the second half of June and it was absolutely wonderful. All 3 of us wanted to visit Egypt for a long time and this tour blew our expectations, it was really well planned and there were literally no problems. At any point on the journey there was someone present to assist and during the tour we always had a driver and a tour guide. For our time in Cairo and Alexandria we had Sheema as the guide, she was lovely and took her time to answer our questions and add her view and experience to the facts. It was really fun to explore Cairo with her. For Luxor and the Nile Cruise we had Ahmed as the guide. He was super nice, knowledgeable and very competent and went outside his way to make the journey the best he could. For example, he suggested to change plans a little bit so that there would be less visitors and we could sleep a little longer. We were amazed that he could explain every single carving or figure in any temple and answer any questions we had. He definitely went above and beyond to make this trip as memorable and exciting for us as he could. Overall the structure of the tour was very well designed, at each location the first 5-30 minutes (depending on the location) were spent for the guide to show us the most interesting things, afterwards, we got some free time ranging from 10-60 minutes (again depending on the location) to walk around, take pictures or just take in the atmosphere (which we definitely recommend, especially in Karnak or Abu Simbel). We found this rhythm very pleasant. The representatives at the airports were also always nice and helpful and made the entire process a lot smoother and relaxing. Overall this tour was perfect and we had the best time exploring Egypt and its ancient wonders. Thank you very much Egypt Unlimited Tours and specifically Sheema and Ahmed for this unforgettable adventure!

It was an amazing experience. The admission fee was reasonable. I would have like to stay a little longer in Egypt. The ambience was refreshing. The only thing that was a problem was we did too much shopping. I think it broke our piggy 🐷 bank.

I highly recommend this experience. Everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived in Cairo until the moment we left. (tour guides, shuttle service to all attractions, food, etc.). We had our own private tour guides while in Caro and on the Nile River Cruise. Migo was our tour guide in Caro and he was so fun and personable. Sayed was our tour guide for the varios stops on yhe Nile River Cruise. He was amazing. Our family trip to Egypt was amazing on behalf of this experience.

Extremely safe Egypt, an incredible adventure to see the pyramids, the temples, and the mythical Nile River!!!!

We had a wonderful time on our Egypt adventure! As a country I always wanted to visit, it didn't disappoint as a milestone birthday destination. It was surreal, standing in the shadow of the pyramids that up until this trip had only been landmarks in school textbooks. To be there, touring inside a structure whose construction to this day still awes the world, was truly an experience for the ages. The camels that dot the landscape are massive but gentle creatures and it is a delight to be in their company. We visited two immersive museums (one is included in the package; we did the other on our own) with stunning artifacts and unbelievable mummified remains of numerous kings and queens. We toured Coptic Old Cairo, where the monotheistic faiths live in harmony. We walked around the area of our hotel to get the vibe of the bustling city of Cairo. You would be wise to follow the lead of locals in crossing streets filled with drivers who don't allow space for pedestrians. Be aware there will be residents who petition you to 'hire' them as city guides when they really aren't, but overall the people were easy going and went about their business as busy city residents do. There is a large stray animal population, but they don't bother anyone. Those with ear tags have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated under a government program, which we hope is being robustly administered as the number of them was heartbreaking to see. The Nile River cruise was another layer of engagement and the stops were awe-inspiring. Michaelangelo is revered for painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling while on his back, but Egyptians adorned their temples with beautiful paint after they carved stories into the stone, also on their backs. In Valley of the Kings in Luxor, you can enter the burial chamber and stand next to the body of King Tut! The Egypt Unlimited Egyptologists who accompanied our group are fantastic representatives of their country: proud, educated, communicative, passionate, engaged. They were invested in their charges' experiences and spared no detail in explaining what we were witnessing during each visit and the significance of it in time and place. It wouldn't have been the same without their input, their story telling, their understanding of what these temples and tombs, river and dams, deities and royalty, families and citizens mean to the culture and history of their beloved country. We came away with a new appreciation of a place I already knew I wanted to experience.

We had such a fantastic time on our recent trip to Egypt! Egypt Unlimited Tours did such a great job at everything from meeting us at the airport, providing transportation, all the way to the end helping us navigate the airport. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Hassan El Shazly was so knowledgeable about Egypt and its history. He helped us learn so much about Egypt. Not only its history, but also its culture, language, and people. He coordinated so many aspects of the trip, from the best times to see things to making sure we could avoid crowds, etc. If we ever return to Egypt, we’ll definitely ask for him - Habibi!
