- onedap20250 contributionsGood 👍Very good photography and friendly thank you very much for the very beautiful experience I had with you and why should I serve youWritten February 5, 2025
- 815saurabhm0 contributionsCairo 2024We had a great time visiting cairo. The tour guide was great and explained us the history well . She also helped us exploring the hidden gems of the cityWritten February 4, 2025
- J5248HHestherm0 contributionsPeculiar tour, amazing guide!We've joined the Manial palace, Nilometer, city of deaths and Feluca ride tour. Our guide Mou was amazing, a very competent egyptologist and archeologist really informative and friendly, that made the difference in our day. I highly recommend this tour and guide to other tourists!Written February 4, 2025
- melissaoV4422WH0 contributionsAwesome TripAll the tours we took with Sun Pyramid were awesome. Our guide did a phenomenal job. From the time the company picked us up at the hotel until they dropped us back off each time and never left our side was customer service at its best. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is in Cairo or surrounding area.Written January 31, 2025
- hyuntaek260 contributionsThe best tour and guide that I've experienced.We did 5 days Siwa and Bahariya oasis tour with Mohab Elattmany. He was the best guide among our Egypt tour guides. He knows everything about Egypt (He has degrees for egytology) and is also a very responsible person. Even when he had a kind of food poisoning during the tour, he always took care of us with a smile. And of course our driver Nasser and Younis were good and professional. Siwa, bahariya, dessert, some historic sites and so on... Every moment of the tour was fantastic.(Well sometimes our guide explained too much ) Highly recommended!!Written January 29, 2025
- Cruiser290589646470 contributionsWOW!Mohab our tour guide was the absolute BEST one could have. No doubt! He's much more than just an EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE guide. Mohab is just amazing to be around and i consider him a friend now!❤️ Ahmed our driver for the week couldn't have been BETTER! He was absolutely amazing! Always friendly, always on time and always willing to adjust to fit our desires and change schedules.😍 MaRtina who coordinated the entire week was great to work with and always ensured we were accommodated and happy. 🧡 Overall our VIP private tour experience and all of the accommodations were exceptional thanks to everyone that helped coordinate and make this trip an amazing adventure! ❤️❤️❤️Written January 27, 2025
- afzalh9790 contributionsAwesome ExperienceWe had a great day with Sayed Hamdy and Ahmed Ramadan. Highly recommended due to the comfort with family and there hassle free arrangements . Thanks again to Menna as well.Written January 26, 2025
- 306yazg0 contributionsGood planning and organisation, personalised servicePyramid tours provide tailored itineraries for Egypt, with different options to needs, etc. I would recommend it. The itineraries do not vary much from other tour companies in Egypt. Rana Yasser from Pyramid tours was super helpful throughout the planning, booking and was very responsive during our tour in Egypt. She always provided confirmations, solutions and options when we were in Egypt. I would suggest exploring packages provided by Pyramid tours. Also, in terms of different tours offered in different languages, I think the tours in English are better than the ones in Spanish (but the routes are the same). If you really do not want to bother doing your own planning for the trip, it is a one stop solution for a tour and the planning hitting all the must see sites. We did a 9 day tour with a 4 day cruise from Answar to Luxor. We enjoyed the Cairo tour around the Giza Pyramids, and also enjoyed the Sound and Light show around one of the hotels in the Pyramids which included dinner and a great view.Written January 26, 2025
- Arleta1233450 contributionsAll you want can be true in EgyptWe highly recommend the SUN PYRAMIDS TOURS agency. We are from Poland, it was hard for us to trust a travel agency from Egypt. We agreed on all the details of the trips via WhatsApp, and through Booking.com we made reservations for two hotels with which the agency cooperates - Great Pyramid Inn and Royal Great Pyramid Inn. The benefit was mutual. We had really great rooms and food and the agency took care of us all the time during our stay. The representative on behalf of the agency was Mohamed Elnoby🌹 a man with great knowledge and joy of life, who showed us Egypt from this beautiful side - joyful, friendly and so oriental for us. We travel a lot to different corners of the world ourselves, but we have not experienced such great cordiality yet. Thank you Mohamed 🫶. We were together on 4 trips: 1. a whole day in Alexandria, where our driver was Shady. 2. one whole day in Wadi el Hitan and Fayoum Oasis and 3. one whole day in Cairo, where our driver was the great Ahmed Hamama - thanks to him and Mohamed Elnoby we saw as much in one day as regular tours offer for 2-3 days. 4. two-day trip to the White and Black Desert with an overnight stay under the open sky full of trillions of stars and with Bedouin music by the campfire. An amazing one-time experience - we have beautiful photos and warm memories. Everything took place as we agreed before the trip. We are very pleased and glad that we trusted Sun Pyramids Tours (arrangements on behalf of the agency were made with us by Reham Elsayed) but above all we are grateful that our guide was Mohamed ❤️because it is people who create the atmosphere and our perception of what we encounter.Written January 26, 2025
- alkistisa20250 contributionsNile Cruise Dream HolidayOur guide Eslam, is passionate about his work, he's a very knowledgable guy. You will love all the temples that they bring you too. Jaw-dropping scenes.Written January 24, 2025
- Julk1090 contributionsAmazing Desert Adventure with Mohamed ItalianoI had an incredible one-day trip to the White Desert with Mohamed Italiano. Everything was perfectly organized, from the transportation to the delicious meals. Mohamed is knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable with his stories and attention to detail. The scenery was breathtaking, especially the sunset over the unique rock formations. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Egypt!Written January 22, 2025
- ziphoz20250 contributionsBreathtakingEverything about their tours was incredible. They were also very punctual with picking us up and very patient when it came to us delaying. We can’t stop talking about the dinner overlooking the pyramids, such amazing views.Written January 21, 2025

- C5448IGpilarv0 contributionsUnforgettableA wonderful experience worth living. All very well organised. Kamalito gave us very good explanations making us relive what happened millennia ago. The driver of the 4x4 makes you live the desert!Written January 17, 2025
- Passenger7049740 contributionsGreat people, good serviceHonestly, it was good. I am glad that we decided to go with a tour operator (first time in my life) and me and my girlfriend decided to go with them. We planned a tour to the pyramids. Quite good, the guide was super fun and she took a lot of pictures of us. Then we went to siwa and spent the afternoon in the desert (totally worth it) And to the white and black desert, we camped there during the night. All personnel was great, all the drivers, the guides etc were patient. Only one comment: for longer trips some things are not well planned. Es. If you stop in Marsa Matruh, you won’t eat on the sea but at a not very attractive restaurant inside of the city. El Alamein museum is ok, nothing special. Food sometimes (especially if they will take you) it will be kind of the same all around. (We insisted to change scenarios sometimes). The best thing about this trip: the people we met and the scenery.Written January 16, 2025

Our trip of a lifetime was made so by Sun Pyramids. We never had to worry about anything...they took care of it all. The guides and drivers were always on time, took care of every little aspect, even up to the point of scheduling a wake-up call for us and texting the agenda of the next day to us the night before. They thought of things that we would never have expected. Also, when we asked our guide to allow us time for shopping and told him what we wanted to buy he made it happen and helped us get a good deal. One day we were so tired that we told the guide that we didn't want to go to the last activity (shopping at a bazaar) and he was totally understanding and took us back to our hotel. And Fatima, the agent at Sun Pyramids....wow....she checked in on us several times throughout the trip to make sure that everything was grand. They even provided a SIM card for the phone so that we could stay in contact. Well worth every penny!

Trip of a lifetime. Two of us and our kids 15 and 9 years old. Aya Yasser helped us to arrange everything. It was perfect from the start to the end. In Cairo pyramid view dinner with a help of Mustafa. Next day whole day tour in Cairo instead the Egyptian museum, pyramids, Sphinx camel ride around pyramids and very, very professional tour guide Dalia. On the Nile Cruise we had everything arranged also by Aya. In Aswan - Nubian village by boat, Edfu horse carriage to Edfu temple and Luxury hot air balloon and tour with very professional tour guide as well. Will totally recommend Sun Pyramids tour operator and Aya who is very professional with arranging everything. We will be back!! Egypt is one of the most friendly countries I have ever been to. Thank You Aye for making our dream come true. Thank You all our tour guides and drivers for your professional services.

I booked this holiday through Evaneos and the guys at Sun Pyramids were immediately super attentive to customizing my tour.
For the visit to Cairo our guide was the Egyptologist Akef, a person of great cultural depth who transmits passion and dedication to his work.
Once we boarded the Radamis II cruise, our guide was Mido and it was like traveling with a friend.
He accompanied us on this journey of discovery, helping us to understand even the most difficult concepts, transmitting to us his love for his work and the history of his country.
All the transfers were super precise and there were no, but I mean no failures.
I would recommend it to everyone, it's a beautiful trip!

Sun Pyramid Tours put together a three-day package tailored for what I wanted to see around Cairo. We did a night cruise with live entertainment, Giza pyramids including climbing deep inside one of the pyramids, a camel ride, the great sphinx, Memphis, Saccara, New Egyptian museum with over 30 mummies, the citadel, and a few other experiences along the way. They were easy to work with in building a package that worked really well. The drivers and guides were friendly and knowledgeable about just about anything we saw or questions I had. I loved every minute of the tours.

We had such an awesome time cruising the Nile river from Aswan to Luxor, visiting the Philae temple and High Dam in Aswan, Nubian village in Aswan, temples in Kom Ombo, Edfu, as well as the Luxor and Karnak temples in Luxor. Sunpyramids does an amazing job taking care of guest needs, checking in every once in a while. We had a gentleman of a person in Ehab Michael, who genuinely cares for his guests. He treated us like his family, ensured all our needs are taken care of, guiding us on the dos and donts all the time. He even kept in touch with us after finishing the cruise, checking in to make sure we are ok during other parts of our Egypt tour. Highly recommend Sunpyramids and Ehab Michael for the hospitality and excellent service.

We had the pleasure of being guided by Zakaria. He provided us with fabulous knowledge throughout the trip. He always ensured that we didn’t queue and found great photo opportunities. I unfortunately was not well and Zakaria was most concerned, he altered the tour to suit me, he offered what ever assistance he could to provide the upmost care. Zakaria always worked with polite and friendly drives to help make experience pleasant. We also enjoyed lots of interesting conversations generally about life in Egypt, he made sure we purchased our souvenirs at suitable prices. We recommend Zakaria to provide you a high quality tour and you will leave being friends.

We’ve loved our experience in Egypt. Our tour guides were excellent! Zakaria was very knowledgeable, patient and attentive! He guided us from Luxor to Aswan. He went over and beyond to help us with other things for our trip too.
Mary guided us in Cairo. She was excellent too! Knowledgeable and kind.
Our experience couldn’t have been better!
Thanks to their effort, we are considering to revisit Egypt after the new museum is open.

My trip was absolutely perfect. From the private driver at the airport to the very end. Everything was thoughtfully planned out. Eslam was a wonderful tour guide who worked with me and my sometimes difficult schedule. He made sure I got to see every site I could and was very detailed. I really enjoyed my time with him. Mr. Ahmed arranged an extra trip for me for a hot air balloon ride from my cruise and he did a great job as well. I highly recommend booking with Sun Pyramid and asked for Eslam.
