Magic Pyramids, unforgettable Cairo, impeccable tour! - We spent 4 days in Cairo and the Sun Pyramids organization was perfect! Excellent contact with Rana, who developed the proposal for the tour proposing the best solutions, excellent guides, Yunis and Mohamed, very prepared, punctual, kind and professional, as well as the drivers! Hotels also very well chosen (one with wonderful views of the pyramids, the other with beautiful views of the Nile)! We are excited about our tour, it was all impeccable and we will not only turn to Sun Pyramids again for upcoming visits to Egypt but will recommend it to all our acquaintances! Thank you Sun Pyramids for these wonderful days in Cairo, see you soon!

Fantastic tailor-made 4 day program for Cairo and Luxor - I booked an individual 4-day program with pyramids, Old Cairo, Luxor and museums. Rana from Sun Pyramids Tours helped me create an all-round, worry-free program tailored to my interests. She organized everything very professionally, from pick up to drop off at the airport gate. Everything perfectly as planned. Thanks to WhatsApp, I was always informed who exactly was waiting for me and where. Every day she asked for feedback if everything was meeting my expectations.
Rasha Yehia Mubarak was my tour guide in Cairo and Giza for 3 days together with driver Karim. She explained the history and culture of Egypt from the Pharaohs to the present very professionally and went into very deep details wherever I was interested. She organized the sightseeing exactly according to my interests, always showed me the best photo spots and took several pictures of me.
On the day trip to Luxor I was welcomed by Mohamed, the tour representative and Mohamed the driver. Eslam, my tour guide in Luxor, explained the history from the first to the last dynasty to me in a coherent and entertaining way, so that I could better understand the importance of the Luxor sights. This was a very entertaining and interesting day.
I can only recommend the whole team and will use them again for further visits.

10/10 highly recommend - We absolutely loved having Dalia as our private guide for three days in Cairo. She’s a wealth of knowledge and made our time in Cairo truly enjoyable.
She quickly picked up what mattered to us (architecture, religion, etc.) and shared knowledge accordingly. Dalia took us through each mosque answering questions thoughtfully and giving us context as we were curious about Islam.
We scheduled a day with her during a free day to visit the Coptic Area and she worked with the travel agency to get us a comped lunch overlooking the Giza Pyramids - the view was surreal. Then she efficiently and effectively walked us through the Cairo Museum, telling us where to spend time on highlights and where we could skip because we would see better examples later in our trip.
In addition to taking us around Cairo bringing history to life, she took care of everything else. She made sure we had a good meal, took us to reputable places for souvenirs, and was so patient as we debated which rug to purchase. (If you’re in the market for rugs the rug schools should not be missed, they are beautiful rugs with amazing techniques, and fair warning the can get quite expensive!)
On our last day together, my husband mentioned wanting to find/try Koshari (a traditional Egyptian comfort food). Later that afternoon on our way back to the hotel she and our driver Kahlil (who was fantastic in every way, even realizing I love gum, and brought a little packet of gum for me each morning) made a special stop and treated us to Koshari at a local hot spot - so unnecessary but demonstrative of their thoughtfulness.
We’ve had other guides and drivers, but none as fantastic as Dalia & Kahlil. They quickly felt like family and we’d be thrilled to spend time with them again!

Excellent time in Cairo. - We were lucky to be introduced to Sun Pyramid Tours. We wanted to see specific things while we were in Cairo, so I sent them what I wanted and they provided an itinerary that exactly matched my requirements. They gave supporting advice about the tours and we were greeted at the airport.
We had the same driver called Mohammed for all four days touring. To say he was excellent is an understatement. We felt safe with him on the chaotic Egyptian roads. His kindness and good nature added to the enjoyment of our visit.
Our guide for the four days was Mirrifat. She used to be an English teacher and so was clear in he explanations and she was incredibly knowledgeable concerning the sites we visited. Her kindness knew no bounds. I could not imagine having a better person to show us round.
Our tours can all be recommended. The Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara covers the most not to be missed sites. We then spent the evening on a Nile Cruise (Maxima) with dinner and entertainment. Well recommended with excellent food. The next day was Museums, the next Coptic Cairo etc and our final day was a visit to Alexandria, (a three hour journey each way but well worth it).
The benefit of having an itinerary by Sun Pyramid Tours is that you get your own car, driver and guide. We spent as much time as we wanted at each stop and we were taken door to door by our driver to ensure minimum walking. Lunch was included every day. We could stop if we wanted to see something not scheduled. We had pick up and drop off each day at our hotel and felt we could have had some flexibility in leaving times had we wanted.
This was a well organised break that we felt gave us value for money. We were lucky with the driver and guide we had. It would have been difficult to have got as much out of our short break without them
Very highly recommended.

My son and I take Cairo. - Had such an incredible, moment for life experience in Cairo. My son & I couldn’t have asked for a better company. We were treated with the utmost respect and kindness. We were given so much knowledge on the sites, textbook can’t compare. Mahmoud was a guide. He had such a sweet, energizing spirit which made us look forward to each day even more.

Cairo - I cannot recommend Mohamed Kafafy as a tour guide enough. Very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt. Catered to all our needs and even went beyond to ensure we had the best experience. As too were the wonderful driver's Mohamed Emad and Ahmed Nasser, who navigated through the roads of Egypt with ease and made it a most comfortable ride. Also very patient with us whilst we squeazed in some shopping. Overall organisation of Sun Pyramids tours was excellent
