        Unforgettable
        A 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!

        Great people, good service
        Honestly, 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.

        Wonderful 4 days in the desert
        We had a very excellent trip in Fayoum and Baharyia Oasis, visiting wadi rayan and white and black desert. The organisation has been very accurate and we spent 4 days in amazing places through different landascpes, unique in the world. The package is a kind of all inclusive and you do not have extra surprise (of course consider tips on top), so this is a plus. We had different drivers all of them very good and experts but a special thanks goes to Fares our guide from Sun Pyramids Tours that stayed with us during the all tour taking care of every aspect of our program, he had a gentle and supportive attitude that let us live at best our desert our adventure.

        Best tour ever
        I reserved a tour guide for two days the first day I had the pleasure of taking a tour with Mohab, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts and stories that brought every location to life. It was clear that he has a deep passion for the history and culture of the area, and his enthusiasm was contagious. On the second day had an amazing experience with Dalia! Not only was she a fantastic tour guide, but she also had an incredible eye for photography. Thanks to Dalia I now have a collection of breathtaking photos to cherish for a lifetime. Beyond that, Dalia was warm, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed every moment.

        Wonderful New Year Eve in Cairo.
        This was our first time in Cairo and we wanted to be sure to spend a wonderful new years eve over there so we decided to book for 31st of December before leaving for Egypt. The girl Martina Magdi, was super nice, providing the best location and a nice and safe minivan to pick us up from our hotel and back. The guide, Mohamed (l'italiano) was very friendly, she stayed with us all the time and helped us with the photos, he even gave us his internet connection to his phone, because the restorant didn't have any wifi. The only thing is that the prices are a little bit too much!

        A family ride from the north to the south
        We took a 6-night trip: Cairo-(car)-Alexandria-(car)-Cairo-(train)-Aswan-(car)-Abu Simbel-(car)-Aswan-(train)-Luxor-(car)-Hurghada family tour (2 adults, 1 child). The agents picked us up at Sphinx airport, and the final destination of the trip was our hotel near Hurghada. We went to Cairo and then to the hotel, where we had a day just to sightsee the center of the capital. All the hotels the agency booked for us were great. In Cairo, it was the Cosmopolitan Hotel – an old and beautiful hotel with Victorian-style architecture. The next day, we went to Alexandria by car (2.5 hours one way). We visited Qaietbay citadel in Alexandria, Pompey’s Pillar, Alexandria Catacombs (amazing!) and Alexandria Library. Day 3 – we went to Giza to see the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. Then, we visited the Cairo Museum. The agency bought train tickets for us to Aswan from Giza for $70 per person. We really wanted to try Egyptian trains, but unfortunately, we weren't informed that this train was not a sleeper, with seats only. As I found out later, the sleeper one costs $90. The problem is that you cannot book it online, so thanks to the agency for buying the tickets for us. However, the 13-hour overnight train wasn't really comfortable – I couldn't sleep at all in those seats. The agency should have informed us about this issue. Day 4 – Aswan – 3-hour ride to Abu Simbel. We were exhausted but happy, thanks to Ahmed (our Aswan and Abu Simbel guide). We visited the High Dam. Aswan is in my heart! Hotel Citymax was in the city center and was also good. Day 5 – We visited Philae Temple and the unfinished obelisk. We also bought an extra boat trip to the Nubian Village ($120). Train to Luxor (3 hours). Day 6 – We stayed at Jolie Ville Resort, visited the Valley of the Kings, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, alabaster workshops, Luxor Temple, Colossi of Memnon and Karnak. After lunch, they gave us a ride to our hotel (4 hours). Thanks for the tour planning and all the work to Yosef Mahmoud and Mustafa Mohamed! The whole price of the tour is $2650. P.S. Tips in Egypt are a nightmare. Even a policeman can ask you for one. In our case, a policeman helped us not to miss our train (because there is no clear timetable at the station). Another man on the train set our case on the shelf and demanded $5 tips. I should have shown him the ticket price (the price for foreigners is much more expensive), but I bargained to 150 LE ($1.50). Really annoying. A tip against tips – don't let the locals help you if you don't need it – they will demand tips afterward.

        STAY AWAY
        THEY ARE A TOTAL SCUM!! We booked for a tour in Cairo and they sent us a "guide" that didnt speak well any language and he didn't know literally ANYTHING about egypt or egyptian culture. We called the agency and they said that a new guide will arrive, we waited by ourself for more than 4 hours, each time delaying and finding new excuses. Other than that we booked a nile dinner and it was absolutely not worth the price. STAY AWAY FROM THEM, choose another company or do it by yourself.

        Cairo city tour
        Mohammad Italiano was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and worked to create a unique experience for my private tour. He was engaging and helped me get out of my comfort for trying food, culture, and shopping. His haggling skills came in handy more than once out in town. I highly recommend this experience for anyone interested!

        Great tour - value for money
        We are a party of 4 and went on a slight customized tour covering the Coptic Quarter and the Bazaar. The tour guide and driver were very good. However, the vehicle while sufficiently large, is slightly old and stuffy - it could be a cleaner vehicle. Overall, it is an excellent tour considering the amount charged.

      I have used Sun Pyramids Tours to organize our 4 day short stay in Cairo and 2 day short stay in Alexandria. All arrangements have been well organized including domestic flights, sightseeing, transfers and more. It was a private touring with great tour guide, Mohamed Kafafy. His excellent knowledge of the history made our experience complete. He has gone above and beyond of his tour guide duty to make our experience more enjoyable. We had two fantastic drivers, Mohamed Emad and Ahmed Nasser. They were navigating at times difficult traffic in Cairo and Alexandria with such ease. I would highly recommend this company, guide and both drivers.

      This wasn't a vacation, it was an experience. It was an experience we will never forget and its all because of the professionalism of Sun Pyramid Tours. From the moment we got off the plane until the late nigt transfer back to the Airport, Sun Pyramis Tours took special care of us. We felt safe and secure and they wete attentuve to our needs. We aaw so much in such short time that looking back, i cant believe we packed it all in. The people of Egypt were so friendly that i felt i actually made new friends here. All i can say is that if you use Sun Pyramid Tours, you'll beglad you did. Thanks Abdo and Abdoa for you kindness towards us, we'll never forget it.
      Sincerely

      I had a wonderful time visiting Giza, Cairo, and Alexandria with my tour guide Yasser Arafa. He is a knowledgeable Egyptologist and an excellent guide. He took me to see everything requested, and ensured that I was able to purchase fine Egyptian gifts for my family and friends. He is very comical and fun to be around. I look forward to our next Egyptian visit and future tours with Yasser!

      My driver Yusri and tour representative Mostafa were also very helpful and great companions during my time in Egypt. They always arrived on time for pick up at the airport and hotel, ensuring that I made it safely and comfortably to each destination. They are amazing people and great ambassadors for Egyptian culture. Also, Mostafa taught me how to eat rice with the angels!

      I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to visit Egypt!

      I have in my 75 years traveled the world and am emphatic that this trip planned with Maram and guided by Mahmod Eman with driver Akmed ranks as "Fabulous, beyond comparison." The arrangements, communication, amazing guide, incomparable driver met and exceeded my dreams. Mahmod Eman not only has the answer to every off the gird question, is charming, and helpful with any personal needs such as getting a SIM card, getting a warm jacket because it was colder than I expected and treated me with the utmost courtesy. I felt privileged to have had the outstanding service in planning and experiences!

      The whole experience was fantastic. It included airport pick up and drop off, breakfast and lunch. Our driver, Yousry was amazing. He navigated the busy and crowded Cairo streets with ease. Our guide, Mervat was a gem. Very sweet and patient and very knowledgeable about everything Egypt. You can tell she is very proud and loves her country. She made us feel comfortable and answered all of our questions. Ahmed was fun. Funny guy who loves Spanish music. He made the trip fun in the night time and was also very well versed with information. Every person associated with this tour made us feel welcomed and was willing to accommodate us in anyway they could. I wish we could have stayed longer to do the tour at Luxor and Aswan, but whenever I come back to Egypt, I will definitely use this tour group again. 5 stars. 100/100. We had such a great time because of them and we got to see a lot in such a short amount of time.

      Had a great experience with our friends in Egypt earlier this month. Ahmed was our tour guide in Upper Egypt. Our group enjoyed learning from Ahmed - his knowledge as both an archaeologist and Egyptologist gave us many different background information of the places we visited. He also arranged for a hot air balloon ride that sone of our group participated in. He was funny and patient with us. In Cairo, Dalia was our guide. She was kind and her lovely smile was a balm during the heat of the day. Thanks sun pyramid for a great time in Egypt.

      I booked several tours with sun pyramids during my stay in Cairo . I booked the day tour to Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara ,The day tour to Egyptian Museum, Citadel and Old Cairo ,Alexandria day tour ,The Nile dinner cruise and Day use at Red Sea Stella De mare . I have to say sun pyramids was very professional and helpful to me from the beginning to the end . I was first contacted by Nada who helped me booked my tours before arriving in Cairo . She was very helpful in whatever I need and I always had prompt responses.
      During my tours I had a wonderful guide , her name was Gigi . She is very knowledgeable, calm and approachable in any questions we had . It was 3 of us .
      Our driver Yaseen was very nice and kind as well. You can tell he is a good person. My only thing is that I did think some of the tours was very expensive compared to what I found in other places but you do get what you pay for .
      We felt safe at all times . I would definitely recommend sun pyramids to anyone and I would definitely use them again ! I am a happy customer !
