⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Egypt Experience with Egypt Unlimited! Our trip to Egypt with Egypt Unlimited was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The entire experience was exceptionally well organized, thoughtfully planned, and truly exceeded our expectations. A very special thank you to our incredible guide, Ahmed, who was truly one of the highlights of our trip! As an Egyptologist, his depth of knowledge about Egypt’s fascinating history, culture, and ancient wonders was extraordinary. He had an amazing ability to bring history to life through his explanations and storytelling, making every site we visited even more meaningful and memorable. What made Ahmed particularly special was how wonderful he was with our children. He was patient, engaging, and knew exactly how to keep the kids interested and excited throughout the journey. His warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for Egypt made the entire experience so much more enjoyable for our whole family. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! The accommodations throughout our trip were top-notch, and every aspect of the journey was handled with professionalism and attention to detail. From the hotels to the Nile cruise and all the sightseeing arrangements, everything was beautifully coordinated. One of the things we appreciated most was Egypt Unlimited’s incredible flexibility. Traveling with children sometimes requires adjustments, and the team’s willingness and ability to pivot from our original itinerary to accommodate our family’s needs and the kids’ interests was truly impressive. They made these changes seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed or stressed.

The last remaining wonder of the ancient world; for nearly 4000 years, the extraordinary shape, impeccable geometry and sheer bulk of the Giza Pyramids have invited the obvious questions: ‘How were we built, and why?’.

Ahmed Gomaa our Egyptologist as well as our driver's and the men that met us at all our stops and at the airport made our trip delightful and easy. They took care of everything for us. All we had to do is have fun and take in the magic of all the historical places. Ask for Ahmed Gomaa to be your Egyptologist. He was absolutely amazing in teaching us of the ancient history of all the people and places we visited. He has such a warm friendly smile as well gracious personality that made you feel right at home. I will always remember this experience, this will definitely be a trip to remember, one that will have be come back one day. Thank you Egypt, thank you Ahmed and thank you Egypt Unlimited Tours! Gargi Patel, Toronto Canada
What an amazing experience! Ahmed was fantastic - he is warm, genuine, knowledgeable and a kind human being. He was able to navigate our group of small children and adults alike seamlesly. He helped to avoid lineups and crowds with impeccable timing without missing a beat. He has PhD level knowledge and was able to get into the fine details of egyptian culture and history. This trip was incredible without any friction. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Ahmed. Thanks again Ahmed for a trip of a lifetime!
My Luxor experience was made truly special by Ayman, my wonderful guide from Truly Egypt. His incredible knowledge, passion for Egyptian history and ability to bring every ancient site to life made our journey so much more meaningful. What really stood out was Ayman’s kindness, warmth and genuine care for everyone in the group. He went above and beyond to make me feel welcome — and even surprised me with birthday wishes, creating a beautiful memory I’ll always treasure. 🎂 If you’re booking a Nile cruise or visiting Luxor, I highly recommend requesting Ayman as your guide. Book with Truly Egypt and ask for Ayman — you won’t regret it! Thank you, Ayman, for making my trip so memorable. You were more than a guide — you became a special part of our Egyptian adventure. I won’t forget you! ❤️
The 8 day tour was jam packed with sites to be visited and material/information to be shared and digested. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and were trying hard to accommodate. They ofter spoke quite quickly as they had much information to share. Admission fees to listed sites were covered, one could choose extra's at one's choice. Crowds were less intense earlier in the day which on several occasions meant a 4-6 am departure from hotel. Some seniors (65 and up) may find the number of stairs in certain sites (tombs) a challenge as is the heat. Sometime trying to deal with the heat (especially those of us from northern climes) was a challenge.
What an amazing holiday which putting into words just won't do it justice, so hopefully the brief below will give an idea of what we did! First off the tour company and their guides thoroughly looked after us from start to finish. We were collected at all the airports by assisting managers who helped at security and immigration which was a huge bonus as it was rather chaotic at times, so being pointed in the right direction and explained where we needed to go sped things up getting through. The guides who took us out on our excursions were fantastic! They were all very knowledgeable and passionate in the excursions they took us on, also giving us some private time to wonder around the magnificent locations they took us too. We were taken to the Giza pyramids, Sphinx, and Grand museum whilst in Cairo. In Luxor we visited the 2 beautiful temples. On the river cruise from Luxor to Aswan we were taken to all the key temples along the way. Did a day tour in Aswan visiting the key sites. Flew from Aswan to Abu Simbel for a short visit to the temples before flying back to Aswan. From Aswan we sailed back to Luxor where we relaxed for the 2days. Back in Luxor we visited the Valley of King's after leaving the cruise and the following day did a hot air balloon trip watching the sun rise over the Valley of King's. As I said I can't really put into words just how special this trip was and with how well we were looked after.
Excellently managed and took the hassle out of doing all the booking separately. The service was very professional and well organised
Was a great experience! Egypt Unlimited Tours goes out of their way to make your visit to Egypt fun, interesting and memorable. Our guides were great!
We are experienced travelers and this trip has been phenomenal. It has been everything we were promised, and more we didn’t know we wanted to do until we got here. Sayed Taie, Egyptologist, met us in Aswan, and stayed with us for several days from Aswan through our touring of Luxor. Sayed was an exceptional tour guide. He took excellent care of us, including introducing us to Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Sharif Fathy. Recommend doing the sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Queens and every other available excursion. Tour the (new) Grand Egyptian Museum. It’s fabulous. Food on the boat wasn’t that good, but we weren’t there for the food.
As the title suggests, this tour covers most of the length of Egypt and takes in its fascinating culture over a broad range of excursions and experiences. This is my experience as a solo traveller. A word to the wise, the tour is pretty intense with some VERY early starts and multiple sights visited on some days. That said, you will leave with a good overview of ancient Egyptian culture, as well as some breathtaking memories and photos. You’ll also leave with a much lighter wallet. More on that later. Bring comfortable shoes, a hand fan and hand sanitizer. ‘La shukran’ (‘No thank you’) will become your new favourite phrase. TOUR GUIDES/SIGHTSEEING Positives: -The tour covers many temples and places of interest giving a broad introduction to a friend Egypt. Some of the locations are truly magical and just being there is enough to be able to enjoy it. -My two tour guides Rania (Cairo) and Mo (Aswan to Luxor) were both friendly and knowledgeable Egyptologists. They were easy to get along with and happily gave advice on Egyptian culture and other places to visit around the country. Alexandria seems to be a favourite spot. Many of the guides know each other and studied together, and it was fun seeing them bump into each other and catch up. Negatives: -There is a chance on this tour to become ancient Egypt exhausted. You visit so many temples and tombs that they can blur in to one and become slightly meaningless. Take each temple at face value. Look for what makes it unique and don’t worry too much about not understanding or missing the history. This tour is an overview of a vast culture, spread over thousands of years. You will never understand or fully appreciate it over 8 days so just enjoy being around antiquity, often during a beautiful sunrise or sunset. -You will be taken to places where the soul purpose of your visit is to try and sell you souvenirs, often at drastically high prices aimed at scamming tourists. This is an unfortunate part of the experience but one that is common when travelling. Don’t be afraid to speak to your guide and tell them that you do not want to visit these shops/craft stores if you are not comfortable with hard selling. ACCOMMODATION Sheraton Cairo Positives: -Nice, clean room with Nile views. -Good breakfast buffet with a wide range of choice. Negatives: The hotel has a casino and is often noisy and very busy. Nile cruise (The Alhambra) Positives: -The staff were pleasant and attentive. Negatives: -Not many English speaking staff, so communication was a little difficult and awkward. -The ship is rundown and needs refurbishment. It was advertised as a 5-star cruise and at best it’s 3. My room was comfortable, but the whole ship needs to be refitted and modernised. Depending on where you cabin is, there is a smell of diesel fumes in the air and sound/vibration from the ship’s movement. -The food onboard was average. The starters and mains varied in taste and quality. The desserts are all pre-made and defrosted and all taste the same. There are no drinks included at meal times, including water. All drinks come at an additional cost other than two bottles of water supplied in your cabin each time your room is serviced. -To call it a four day Nile cruise is not wholly accurate. You actually spend roughly half this time moored in Aswan and Luxor. The time it takes to cover the distance between these two places is only around half a day of actual cruising. -Tipping culture. It is expected you leave a tip at the end of your cruise to be divided among the crew. Depending on the level of service you have received and how many crew there are, this can be a difficult amount to calculate. Some guidance on tipping from the tour operator would have been appreciated as part of the information provided when booking this tour. TRANSPORT Positives: -Transport is organised in private cars or minivans, which are quicker and more comfortable than large coaches. -Airport transfers are handled quickly and efficiently. Negatives: -Tipping culture. As in many other situations, it is expected you tip your driver as well as your guide and whatever other services you use each day that expect a tip, this can drastically increase the costs of this tour. -Driving in Egypt is not for the faint-hearted. They use roads differently to many other countries and you will see a lot of unsafe driving and may experience it from your own drivers. Buckle up and don’t look out the window too much. TRIP SUMMARY Overall I enjoyed this trip. It’s not a relaxing holiday in the sun with a drink in hand. It’s a fast-paced tour with early starts and busy sights. You will leave having seen a large part of the country and having scratched your ancient Egyptian itch. There are two or three additional excursions, (each with an additional cost) and all of these were worthwhile, especially if this is a once in a lifetime trip. The sunrise hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings was especially beautiful and is a memory I will hold close for the rest of my life. The are two main negatives which I think are important to address. The first being tipping culture. This is obviously not something exclusive to this tour or Egypt. Some more guidance would have been appreciated when booking the tour such as breakdown of the different services that expect tipping and the rough amounts you can expect to give, especially for a solo traveller. Secondly, and unfortunately this can be linked to this tour specifically, are the ‘craft/workshop’ visits to see the authentic way papyrus paper is made, or how alabaster stone is carved etc. Often after visiting a site, you will be taken to a shop under the guise of being shown a traditional technique, when of course the main purpose is to try to sell you something, often for drastically inflated prices. I appreciate this is part of the culture, but these are essentially traps with a huge markup for unsuspecting tourists, and (for me) put a bit of a negative spin on the trip. Just remember, ‘La shukran’ (‘No thank you’).
I could not recommend this tour more highly. From meeting on arrival to leaving everything was perfect. The quality of the accommodation and cruise was five star as promised. The guides were so knowledgeable and helpful. It turned out I was the only person to book for the dates so I had a personal tour. Apparently they can arrange small group and solo tours if requested, great for the anti group tour people. When I got ill on the cruise my guide bought me medicine without request and refused reimbursement. I had arranged to stay for extra nights after the tour was over and the support and services offered by Egypt Unlimited Tours continued. I was able to book a driver for a day on short notice and for much less than the hotel would charge. They arranged a guide and driver to take me to Saqqara as it had been recommended. Do not hesitate to book this tour company and you will have a wonderful time. Solo female travellers will be very happy with the support offered.
Very reliable and punctual. Everything that is promised is delivered. Extremely professional, yet warm and approachable at the same time. And our guide, Abdul, was the icing on the cake: an incredibly knowledgeable Egyptologist, but also caring and funny.
This tour was amazing throughout our entire experience. From the beginning we had a representative meet us before customs and help us through the airport and hotel checkin making everything a breeze. Our tour guide in Cairo (Reem) and our guide through Aswan - Luxor on the Nile cruise (Mo) were both so knowledgeable and friendly the entire time. They made this experience one we will never forget and are both fantastic people to spend this trip with.
This trip exceeded my expectations. Everything was swift and well structured. Airport picks ups and transfers were efficient , and when traveling by car, cars were clean, on time and air coned and water was provided. The guides Sajed and Majid were absolutely fantastic, very kind and friendly. The information that they provided was in great detail. Going with guides made a world of a difference. They know their way around which makes things easier especially in peak heat. But also in explaining what you are looking at and its history. Tickets are bought upfront so generally, you don’t have to stand in long queues to get tickets. The boat cruise food, was really good and the room was good too. My guide and boat crew were amazing, surprised me with cake and a lovely singing and dancing on my birthday. Really enjoyed sailing on the Nile. The activities, from the Nubian village and Abu simbel in Aswan to Luxor and the temples, I enjoyed everything!! Hurghada was beeeaaautifuuul and much needed after the heat in Aswan, then head to Cairo. Very different energy from Luxor, Aswan and Hurghada, but it was awesome. From Giza, Coptic Cairo, the market Sakara, the GEM!! Honestly the best time! Oh the safari desert quad biking and star gazing were epic. Definitely value for money!!!! The guides were even kind enough to take pictures. All hotels used were very good. The food in generally was also really good. My only recommendation is that some details for transfer flights you get on last minute, so planning for extra activities is challenging if you don’t know flight times. But other than that, I’d highly recommend the guides and the tour!!
***Late review*** We travelled the first week of May, and I kept telling myself I would leave a review as we had such an amazing trip but kept forgetting…. We had such a great experience with this tour company and our guides. Viator made it easy to find a local company and from there Egypt Unlimited Tours were outstanding. Their itinerary already had most of the places and sites we wanted to see and when we inquired about adding certain activities, such as a hot air balloon ride, riding the camels while visiting the pyramids or visiting Abu Simbel, they were extremely accommodating and flexible. We were 3 women and having a private tour was incredible, we felt very safe everywhere we went, there was always someone there to meet us (airports, hotels, on the cruise). Our guides, Hamji and Mustapha (unsure if I’m spelling those correctly) were fantastic. Hamji was with us in Cairo and offered so much knowledge and was very excited to give us information and history at the sites and the museum which added so much to the visits and gave us a great foundation for the rest of our trip. He also took us to a papyrus store which was so much fun and had a great selection of art and the owner never made us feel pressured to buy anything. Mustapha was with us throughout the Nile cruise and also was very knowledgeable. One of the friends I was travelling with had a birthday during our trip and he really went out of his way to make it special, arranging a cake and the whole staff sang Happy Birthday. We all felt incredibly touched that they did something like that for her. I would definitely recommend this company and would book with them again in a heartbeat! They made us feel very safe and comfortable and I would recommend all the addons offered; you won’t regret it.
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.
1800 per person nile cruise the program
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.
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!
I saw their tour on Viator, then navigated to their website. I emailed to check the differences with the direct booking and Mohammad convinced me the direct trip was better, so I booked it. It was terrific. We were met at Cairo airport and driven to the Sheraton Bonvoy (VERY nice). The next morning our guide, Sharma, met us in the lobby. She took us to the Great Pyramid, Sphinx, and Saqqara Pyramids. Sharma was knowledgeable, personable, and a joy to be with. The next day we flew to Aswan on Cairo Air. I must say that Cairo Air is AWFUL. We were met by Mostafa, our private guide for the cruise (yes, just Mostafa and us two. For the entire cruise he was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The cruise ship was nice. Unfortunately it was quite chilly in January and the ship has no heat. Buffet meals were plentiful and delicious. The room was nice. We went to just about every attraction we could have imagined. Mostafa was able to skip the lines, and when we saw those groups of 20 or more people, we really appreciated it being just the 3 of us. After the cruise we flew back to Cairo and the last day Sharma met us again for our visit to the Cairo Museum. The entire trip exceeded our expectations and we enthusiastically recommend Mohammad and Eqypt Unlimited Tours!
An amazing tour. The sites of Egypt are mind blowing - it was even better than expected. But that is not purpose of the review - if you are looking at Egypt you probably already know it is spectacular! Summary: Do this trip, with this company. You will not regret it. This tour certainly gets you the highlights and the tour company are exceptional! We were family group of four (19/22 year old children) and thus private transfers and private guides for us throughout. Way better than big groups from bigger companies which looked a little soul destroying as they traipsed around in the heat. From meeting at airport on arrival (before immigration), to sorting all the transfers in good quality minivan, all the Service was superb - you are looked after for nearly all your time in Egypt. Best of all was the guides - they really make the whole thing come together - super knowledgeable and entertaining. Again it was all far better than I could have hoped for. We stayed in Cairo Sheraton (I don't think they always use same hotel but gives an indication of high quality). It was good standard international hotel with decent rooms and if you fancy easy evening then the top floor bar/restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Cocktails at sunset overlooking the Nile has a nice vibe. The cruise accommodation was good too. Boat had small swimming pool, a pool/games room and nice communal areas as well as comfortable rooms. Maybe not 5* food but perfectly fine and good range of options. There is not that much actual cruising but provides some classic Nile views. We did find that we had room that meant on 2 from 3 nights when alongside all you can see is the boat you are tied to which is a shame. Our Children had better views (so if your group needs two rooms ask for one on each side of boat to ensure at least one can see something). The cruise element means very early mornings. We had 4 or 4:30am alarms on three days. It is worth it, as needed to get stuff done, but with dinner sometimes late it is worth being prepared for. While it nearly broke our teenager you need to embrace it (and there is time to chill during the day). Do the extra Abu Simbel trip (one of the 0430 starts!). It is quite a lot extra (about $120 per person) but awesome. So overall excellent. With added bonus of being amazing value for money, especially compared to some big name tour operators.
We had a wonderful trip and experience in Egypt! Since the day we arrived in Egypt, everything was smooth and pleasant, with many thanks to Egypt Unlimited Tours! Mohamed did an excellent job to arrange and organize our trip! Tour guides ( Reem in Cairo & Noor in Aswan to Luxor), drivers and others. Everybody is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you wanted to Explore Egypt in the best way possible!
Amazing! Our local guides in Cairo and on the Nile Cruise were excellent. Both locations worked hard to accommodate one of the travelers who needed wheelchair assistance. Everything was included which makes the trip seem more expensive to begin with but when calculated out , a serious time and cost savings. The Sheraton Cairo was great. The Nile River boat was very good. And all transportation in AC vans were excellent. More than enough water was provided every day. I would highly recommend this small group, and I mean our group of four friends, to everyone. The airport meet and greet was amazing and appreciated as our flight from Luxor to Cairo was delayed several hours and yet there was Ali waiting for us. All in all a great tour!
This was the best way to experience Egypt. The food, the people, the places, and the culture. Everything was simply perfect. In just 8 days, you get the full picture of Egypt: the ancient, the historic, and the modern. We started in Cairo with visits to the pyramids and the GEM (the new Grand Egyptian Museum), which was incredible. Every flight and transfer was perfectly organized, and all the people helping us throughout the journey were kind, welcoming, and extremely supportive every step of the way. Then we traveled to Aswan, which was absolutely amazing. The private tours and the temples were unforgettable. The Nile cruise was a fantastic experience, with beautiful sunsets, excellent service, and an incredible suite that made the trip even more special. Luxor was my personal favorite because of its breathtaking temples, their massive scale, and the beautiful colors and details. Finally, we returned to Cairo for one last day to experience the religious side of the city and gain a deeper understanding of Egyptian culture. I recommend this tour 120%. Last but not least, our guides and drivers were outstanding. In Cairo, we met Shemma, and in Aswan and Luxor, we were accompanied by Sayed. They truly went above and beyond, giving us more than we ever expected. I hope to come back soon and continue discovering this mysterious and fascinating land.
If you want to visit or re-visit Egypt, do it immediately through Mohammed from Egypt Unlimited Tours & his team. They made our 1st Egyptian experience fenominal! From the time we arrived till the moment we left, we felt valued and special! It was as if we were the only 2 important tourist in Egypt! The representatives who met us at the airports guided us with patience & friendliness. The 3 Egyptologists Shaima, Mustafa & Shaymaa treated us like family and their knowledge of ancient Egypt was amazing! Shukran to magic Mo and his dream team for their meya meya service and one amazing tour itinerary across Egypt!♡ And lastly...shukran to the drivers that drove us safely to our destinations, you have amazing driving skills and we felt safe at all times!♡ We will never forget our Egyptian experience....it changed our lives for which we are immensely grateful! Ps...the food and the restaurants they chose for us...oh my goodness...we're absolutely amazing!♡ Warm Regards Greg & Delna Vague from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦
给我们的行程安排五星好评 一切都那么顺利和圆满, 从下飞机的那一刻开始我们就被照顾得非常周到。 行程安排也紧凑舒适。导游专业, 司机和车辆也都让我们满意👍。 特别要感谢阿斯旺的导游Noor,在我们遇到游轮推迟过大坝这天的行程无法进行时, 他临危不乱地更改计划在第二天早上早出发抢在送机前完成了所有行程安排的景点。 并且送我们一顿丰盛的午餐🍱。开罗的导游Reem有着深厚的历史知识储备, 她从上个世纪九十年代起就从事导游工作。 她的讲解让我们感到非常受益, 另外她知道所有的拍照最佳位置(虽然她的拍照技术有限)谢谢她给我们留下那么多美好回忆。 感谢旅行社的精心策划和热情接待。 希望你们的努力能够得到更多游客的喜爱 5 stars experience We were so lucky to join this tour. From the start landing in the airport we had been fully looking after all the way to the end of the tour. Both Cairo and Aswan tour guides: Reem and Noor, are super professional. They managed our itinerary very well. Noor even handed the incident so smoothly (the cruise ship delayed passing Dam because of bad weather, we had to cancelled whole day tour ), impressive. We didn’t miss any sights at all. Reem, she is very knowledgeable about history and she knows every good spot for photos. She is so sweet to us and others. Perfect tour ever. Highly recommend to my friends and family. Thanks again and Wish you all the best from Ruby and Lucy. Regardless Lucy from New Zealand
Fantastic trip! So well organized, got to see everything we wanted to, the best guide ever (Haman) so knowledgeable, personable, well spoken in English, went above and beyond in taking our photos, and gave us insights into the Egyptian current way of life.
Egypt Unlimited is a unique travel agency that organised everything for us in a 9 days private tour around Egypt, with Nile Cruise and then…. We spent 2 days in Cairo and today in Alexandria with our guide Rania Hussein who is really professional, extremely prepared and flexible to satisfy all our needs. Highly suggested by us! Thanks to Rania and Mohamed for this amazing travel experience
Exceptional experience! Egypt is such a underrated gem in the region. Throughout my entire trip, I was being well taken care of. My 2 main tour guides, Reem and Mostafa, were very knowledgeable egyptologists who were able to answer all of my queries. On top of that, they were sincere, genuine, and helpful in ensuring that I was safe. Both of them were always on time and give precise instructions. The cruise (Ms Medea Spring) was on another level! It was a brand new ship which far exceeded my expectations. The food onboard was fantastic and the crew went beyond the mile to deliver an exceptional service experience. For example, I was having a casual conversation with the head chef (Taha) that I was missing my homecooked style omelette. He asked me for the recipe and prepared for me the next day! The places were as described as in the itinerary. I will strongly recommend anyone who is considering a trip to Egypt to book this right away without a single doubt.
The 9days Private Tour was amazing. Perfect organisation by Mohamed, the Suntimes cruise was extremely pleasant with our guide Dia who made it an unforgettable deep dive into the past Egyptian Civilisation. The 2days in Cairo were extremely well organised, with our guide Rania who was very professional and nice. Highly suggested!
We loved Egypt Unlimited Tours! They were absolutely incredible. Mohamed was responsive to my questions and took care of everything, making the entire trip easy and stress-free. He arranged every pick up from the first airport to the last and even took care of the entry visas. Everything was thought of and organized perfectly.. Our guide, Abdul, was truly the best guide in all of Egypt. Literally, everywhere we went, other guides would stop to tell us how knowledgeable he was. He seemed to know everyone too! At every temple, tomb, and monument we learned so much about the thinking, stories and culture of the ancient past. We felt like we were travelling with a friend as we got to him personally and enjoy his sense of humor. We feel like we won the guide lottery but getting him assigned to us! The tour includes everything on our must see list and even discovered hidden gems we never would have known about on our own. The Nile cruise was a beautiful and relaxing way to cruise the country and not have to pack and unpack for each destination. I cannot recommend Egypt Unlimited Tours enough. If you want an unforgettable, first-class experience in Egypt, this is the company to book with!
What can I add to the previous reviews. Mohamed’s organization skills are excellent, with numerous messages checking your well being. His choice of drivers and guides is excellent. The drivers navigate the vagaries of Egyptian traffic with aplomb. Our guides Maged and Salama were very knowledgeable and good company. I would have no hesitation recommending Egypt Unlimited.
I enjoyed visiting Egypt. Our tour guide Hassan was very knowledgeable. We had fun and learned so much. In Jordan we again learned a lot from Muhammad.
We had a wonderful experience exploring Egypt with Mohammad and Harris. The entire trip was incredibly smooth and completely hassle free, which made it easy to just enjoy every moment. They were both very knowledgeable and shared so much history and insight that brought each place to life. From the pyramids to the temples, everything felt more meaningful because of their guidance. The food arrangements were also great, with good quality meals and thoughtful choices throughout the journey. What stood out the most was their care and attention to detail. They were always available, well organized, and made sure we were comfortable at every step. Their warm and friendly nature truly added to the experience. Highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Egypt. It made all the difference having such reliable and passionate guides.
It was amazing to be with unlimited travel, you will really feel unlimited in all aspects, it was the great service, i have ever experienced. Food, hospitality, travel everything was felt special. Guide and all the small things were also taken care of.
It was a very well planned tour We faced no difficulty at all. Harris helped us in all matters. Recommend all to book with them
Great trip! The accommodations were very nice, the food was very good on the ship and in the hotel, and my guides Radwa and Mahmoud were very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Also, the people who met me at the airport and the drivers were all helpful and courteous.
We recently returned from an incredible trip to Egypt organised by Mohamed M from Egypt Unlimited, and we were thoroughly impressed by how well everything was arranged. The accommodation was excellent throughout — especially the Sheraton Hotel in Cairo and the luxury cruise Miriam, both of which offered comfort, great service, and a truly memorable experience. During the trip, we were looked after by four different representatives who met us at the airports and ensured smooth arrivals and departures. We also had two knowledgeable tour guides — Sahar in Cairo and Mohamed A who accompanied us from Aswan to Luxor — both of whom added so much depth and insight to our journey. In addition, numerous drivers worked seamlessly behind the scenes to make every transfer easy and hassle‑free. The whole team contributed to a trip that felt organised, safe, and stress‑free from start to finish. The only area for improvement would be the timing of the domestic flights between Cairo–Aswan and Luxor–Cairo, which could have been arranged at more convenient times to make the travel days smoother. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would happily recommend Egypt Unlimited to anyone planning a trip to Egypt.
I had an exceptional experience with this travel company. The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful — answering questions quickly, adapting the itinerary to our interests, and handling all logistics smoothly. The tour itself was excellent: knowledgeable and friendly guide, comfortable transport, thoughtfully chosen accommodations, and well-paced visits that let us really appreciate the sights without feeling rushed. Highlights included expertly guided visits to amazing sites, the museums, and a beautifully organized Nile segment. Special mention to the company’s owner and guide who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and safe. We had an exceptional experience with this travel company.

From the moment we met Abdul and started our tour of Cairo, we knew that we were in great hands. He is passionate about the history and answered all our queries. We did a tour of 3 people and had our guide Abdul throughout. The explanations were in depth and fabulous from Giza Pyramids, our stops on the luxury Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, Abu Simbel and the Great Egyptian Museum. The accomodations were amazing with a special mention to the staff on our Nile Cruise and the drivers efficient and polite. We would highly recommend Egypt Unlimited you will be in safe hands from the moment you are collected from the airport - we felt safe the whole time. Mohamed was very responsive with our changing flights and quick to answer any queries. We are now on the Jordan leg of our tour and will post about this after we are finished!
This tour was absolutely amazing and excellent value for money. It was well organised: we did early mornings and late afternoons to avoid the heat of the day and we still had time to enjoy the cruise. Our guide Hassan was brilliant. His knowledge was excellent; he always managed to avoid crowds and queues; and the car was always there when we needed it. He is passionate about Egyptian history and was good at reading when we wanted more info or when we had had enough. The cruise ship and hotels were excellent. I highly recommend Egypt Unlimited Tours, it was absolutely fantastic.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Egypt Unlimited Tours, travelling with my parents on what turned out to be a truly memorable trip. From the moment we arrived in Cairo to the day we left, everything was exceptionally well organised. The team took care of every detail, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. Transfers, accommodation, visits... everything ran smoothly, and we always felt well looked after. The staff were incredibly friendly, responsive, and professional throughout. They were always available to answer any questions and provided clear information at every stage, which gave us great confidence and allowed us to fully enjoy the trip without any concerns. A special thank you to our tour guide, Ahmed Salama, who was outstanding. He looked after us throughout the journey with great care, professionalism, and warmth. His knowledge and enthusiasm really enhanced the experience. We would also like to thank Mohamed for organising everything behind the scenes and for always being responsive and helpful whenever needed. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable trip to Egypt.
Nothing but great things to say about our 7 night tour with this group party of 8. Everything was incredibly smooth and the accommodations were amazing. Hyatt, Sheraton, and 5 star luxury boat down the nine. We had a private guide Mo and he was perfect as well. Highly highly recommend.
Had an amazing experience with Egypt Unlimited Tours! Everything was all organized the moment we arrived until we departed! Great accommodations in Cairo Hotel and Nile Cruise! Our guide Ahmed was terrific, knowledgeable, funny and friendly , and accommodated our requests, would highly recommend him! Would book again with them in the future!
We went for a family holiday to Egypt and booked through Egypt Unlimited Tours. From the very beginning it was a very smooth experience including the booking process and responses to all queries. From the moment of arrival in Cairo airport everything was taken care of and we did not have to worry about anything. The hotels in Cairo as well as the Nile Cruise was of a very good standard. Our guides were very knowledgeable Egyptologists and provided us with detailed information at every step. In Cairo our guide was Amal and for the Nile Cruise it was Hassan. They were really exceptional and helpful and we cannot thank them enough for the guidance they have provided. I would also like to mention the other staff like Hussain, Hassan and Amir who guided us at the airport and hotels in Cairo. All the drivers were also very good. I also need to mention about Mohammed who I was always in touch with during the last few weeks. Overall it was an excellent experience for the whole family and myself. I would thoroughly recommend Egypt Unlimited Tours to anybody for an amazing, hassle-free experience for touring Egypt where everything would be taken care of from start to finish. It was certainly a five-star service.
This tour was fantastic!! From the moment we landed to when we left, they took care of us every minute. The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. All the places they took us were incredible! We highly recommend this company.
Egypt Unlimited Tours is one of the best tour operators I've ever come across. They are extremely detailed and work to make their guests feel special. Our experience was fantastic, and I would highly recommend this company.
