About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- michelasK561NO0 contributionsWonderful 4 days in the desertWe 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.Written January 11, 2025
- D8953GMyasmina0 contributionsBest tour everI 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.Written January 9, 2025
- g0riziad0 contributionsWonderful 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!Written January 9, 2025
- horsemf0 contributionsA family ride from the north to the southWe 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.Written January 7, 2025
- Y3199OXlucaf0 contributionsSTAY AWAYTHEY 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.Written January 6, 2025
- T7328IJnadiner0 contributionsPerfect organization and wonderful tour!!!We had a wonderful private tour organized by Sun Pyramids Tour! Unforgetable memories that we will cherish for a long time. Hoda was our first contact, that organized the whole tour as we requested including all the sites we wanted to visit and the guides in Cairo, Sayed, and Mohammed in Luxor were kind and qualified guide, it was a great pleasure to liste to them explaining us the history of acient Egypt. Do not hesitate to contact this agency if you want a perfect tour without having to worry about anything! Big compliments to Sun Pyramids TourWritten January 6, 2025
- 376greggj0 contributionsCairo city tourMohammad 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!Written January 5, 2025
- EL2015cruise0 contributionsGreat tour - value for moneyWe 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.Written January 4, 2025

The experience in southern Egypt has been amazing, the cruise amazing, very attentive everyone, friendly and careful.
As for the guides, it has been incredible, in space my friend ahmed, an excellent guide, very wise, with a gift to explain and teach but above all better person.
The only problem and that I do not recommend is in case you move somewhere in Egypt do not take train since the train is very shocking and not comfortable, better the plane.
