Sun Pyramid Tours - Our Tour to Alexandria was outstanding. Our guide Mevrat was Fantastic and was very informative. We had Mevrat for all 4 of our tours. From the Pyramids, to the Museums and the Churches. I highly recommend Sun Pyramid Tours and will use them again when I return

Great trip and great guide! - Yesser was very helpful and very knowledgeable. We learned a great deal. It was not just telling us what we were looking at but actually explaining the history of Egypt and how the different cities and sites are connected. I would definitely recommend this and of the Egypt trips with this company and ask for Yesser. Abdsalam was our driver and was quick efficient and polite!

Egypt on the Sea is a Must See! - This tour was breathtaking! Seeing Alexandria was worth the trip to the coast to see the mix of Greek and Egyptian influence meld. The Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop to the Citadel was gorgeous. The catacombs were amazing to see. Mahmud as the guide was again full of incredible knowledge about the history but also answered our questions about the countryside along the way. The hospitality the he and Mahmud the driver showed were above and beyond. There is no way to describe the skills of driving Mahmud possesses and how comfortable the car time is even when it is congested and tight in the streets. I’m so thankful to have booked all our week of tours with Sun Pyramids because the levels of service is phenomenal from Mahmud, Mahmud, and Ahmed! All three generations of my family have had a great time and that says a lot! I’m beyond grateful for how they have made my son feel special and a part of each tour! Thank you!
