This
will
be
a
long
review
of
my
experience
with
United
Tours
as
I
feel
it
deserves
one
for
anyone
looking
to
tour
Egypt;
this
tour
was
amazing
and
I'm
glad
I
experienced
Egypt
this
way.
I
decided
to
travel
to
Egypt
as
a
solo
female
from
Canada
over
Christmas.
Of
course,
like
many
people
who
are
probably
reading
this
review,
I
was
looking
for
a
reputable
company
with
good
reviews,
and
also
one
that
I
was
sure
was
real.
I
reached
out
to
United
tours
to
ask
about
their
8
day
Nile
cruise
round-
trip
from
Luxor.
Asmaa
was
very
quick
to
get
back
to
me
via
WhatsApp
and
answered
any
questions
I
had
with
regards
to
the
tours
and
itinerary.
I
booked
the
trip
and
I
was
told
all
my
tours
would
be
with
an
Egyptologist
-
which
sounded
amazing.
They
took
a
half
payment
initially
,
then
a
second
payment
was
due
so
they
could
secure
my
spot
on
the
cruise.
Just
a
tip,
I
had
to
call
my
credit
card
company
to
get
them
to
approve
the
transaction
as
it
was
initially
flagged-was
easy
after
that.
I
arrived
in
Luxor
-
the
starting
place
of
my
cruise
and
2
days
later,
my
guide
Sherif
picked
me
up
from
my
hotel
and
we
went
and
checked
into
the
boat.
I
was
surprised
to
learn
that
I
would
be
getting
one
on
one
tours
with
Sherif
my
entire
8
days
-
imagine
having
your
own
licensed
Egyptologist
for
your
entire
trip
-
at
an
affordable
cost.
Sherif
stayed
on
the
boat
as
well
for
the
whole
trip
so
It
was
really
nice
getting
to
know
him,
and
we
had
our
meals
together
so
I
could
ask
him
more
questions
about
Egypt
or
what
the
plan
was
for
the
day.
Egypt
is
beautiful
and
so
rich
with
history.
Each
tour
we
did,
the
transport
was
pre
arranged
and
I
travelled
in
my
own
private
car
or
private
boat
with
just
my
guide
Sherif
and
our
driver
for
the
day.
The
best
way
I
can
describe
Sherif,
it
was
like
travelling
Egypt
with
a
friend.
He
explained
the
history
of
Egypt
with
such
passion
that
it
pulled
you
into
the
story.
Any
questions
I
had
about
egyption
culture
he
would
freely
answer.
I
also
mentioned
to
him
I
wanted
to
see
more
of
the
local
culture
and
I
didn't
really
care
to
see
any
of
the
factories
or
shops
and
we
were
able
to
customise
what
I
wanted.
I
felt
comfortable
asking
him
questions
because
it
was
like
a
conversation
among
friends.
Sherif
is
a
SME
-
subject
matter
expert,
he's
also
kind,
professional
and
honest
and
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
guide
for
my
trip.
I
felt
safe
and
relaxed
the
entire
time.
I
plan
to
visit
Egypt
again
in
the
future
with
my
family
and
I'll
definitely
be
asking
for
Sherif
by
name.
Additionally,
United
tours
kept
in
contact
with
me
for
my
entire
trip,
if
I
had
a
question
they
would
also
respond
swiftly
or
if
I
wanted
quotes
on
additional
tours
they
would
give
me
realistic
prices.
I
really
valued
this.
I'm
glad
I
booked
my
trip
through
United
Tours
and
that
my
guide
was
Sherif.
Thank
you
🙏
Ps.
The
staff
on
the
MS
Sarah
were
really
fabulous
and
treated
me
well.
I'll
add
you
have
to
pay
for
any
beverages
you
have
and
you'll
want
to
use
the
egyption
pound
when
you
get
here
-
my
RBC
debit
card
worked
at
the
bank
machines
to
withdraw
cash.
You'll
have
to
pay
for
the
entrance
fees
for
the
temples
as
well
as
tipping
the
drivers,
cafes
etc.
Tipping
is
a
big
thing
here
much
like
Canada,
but
Sherif
will
help
you
with
all
that
so
don't
worry.
-Save
yourself
some
trouble
and
get
yourself
an
egyption
sim
card
for
internet.
I
got
mine
at
Orange
in
Luxor,
38
gigs
of
data
(only
data)
for
19$
CDN.
-Last
point
for
any
of
my
Canadians
with
allergies/
Asthma,
come
prepared
just
in
case
it's
a
dusty
day
😁
