Sun Pyramids Professionalism - Great people from Sun Pyramids, Mohamed Hussein was waiting for us at the airport until an hour late because of the airline and ready to provide us with whatever we needed on arrival in Cairo.
We made a visit with Sun Pyramids to Sakkara, Dashur, Memphis, and Giza Pyramids, the program was the most appropriate, guided tours with an Egyptologist like Nasser-Victor always attentive to everything and close with the whole group was a magnificent experience, driver Ahmed quite a Pro.
Thank you to Sun Pyramids Managers Mohamed Hussein and Riham Shabam, Nasser and Ahmed for this good and Pro service.

A UNIQUE experience ✨ - We contacted the agency for the organization of the Piramidi - Saqqara - Dashur Tour with an Italian-speaking guide and after seeing how much care and professionalism Israa had planned everything for us, we also asked for the organization of the airport-hotel transfers and opted for further tour (Citadel - Khan el-Khalili - Cairo Tower with dinner).
They couldn't have made a better choice 🙏🏻
Israa provided us with the contact details of the people who would come to pick us up and punctuality was always excellent.
We had the honor of being accompanied by the guide Walid on both tours, a truly qualified person with an exceptional knowledge of ancient and modern history (the subject of his degree as well as in Italian). He always had the answer to every question we asked him by perfectly contextualizing what we were visiting with the history of that period. Truly EXCEPTIONAL!
We were then accompanied by Karim to visit the tower and then to the booked dinner in the rotating restaurant with a breathtaking view of the city! It was very interesting because with him we discussed the habits and customs of the new generation and there was a nice exchange 😊
Finally, a big thank you to our driver "Schumacher" for his excellent and safe driving, not at all a given given the chaotic traffic of the city.
When traveling it is important to have the support of an organization on site, it makes the experience authentic, safe and unforgettable.
Trust their agency and you won't go wrong 😊

Fantastic time in Cairo - We cannot recommend Sun Pyramids Tours enough. From Eslam at headoffice to Mohammad our driver and in particular Taifuk, our egyptologist guide, it was a dream come true. Taifuk made it an interesting and most of all fun experience for all ages and all levels of knowledge, is super knowledgeable, chose superb lunch spots and excellent souvenir providers, while Mohammad steered us safely and promptly through the unique traffic in Cairo. All the while Eslam had the organisational particulars under control, provided all information in a more than timely manner and was super accommodating and helpful. All in all, Sun Pyramids went above and beyond every single minute of every single day we went touring with them which, luckily for us, was a total of three times.
We cannot wait to book with them again!

Excellent Tour and Guide great way to spend the day in Cairo - What a GREAT tour. Excellent day out with Sun Pyramids. Family tour.
We asked to add in a visit to the kings chamber, so interesting. I really loved the camel ride and the views from the south to the pyramids made for some beautiful pictures.
Afternoon tasty lunch, saqqara pyramid and Memphis was so interesting also. Really great day and way to spend time in Cairo.
We loved our guide Dalia. She was
Loved the fact that we had our own driver Ahmed also. So we got dropped off, picked up and so well looked after.

Best Time on the Private Tour --Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, Sakkara and Dahshur - We had a really good visit on this particular Tour to the Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, Sakkara and Dahshur. I would recommend the "Private Tour". When going in the Pyramids, it is better in smaller groups, and our Tour Guide, Dalia Mahoud timed everything out just right so we would hit the pyramids with the lesser crowds. Dalia was also very knowledgeable--we learned a lot through her and the driver Ahkmed was super nice. They were flexible on the "Private Tour" as their was just us and another couple. We were also able to take pictures with the Camels which Dalia arranged when we got to the Pyramids. Make sure you go in all the recommended Pyramids, as they are all very different. The Bent Pyramid was the most challenging, but definitely worth it! Thank you Sun Pyramids Tours! What a great time we will never forget!

Best experience in Egypt!!! I’ll do it again! - It’s my privilege to write a review for the amazing job that TAMER MOSBAH and MAHMOUD EMAM (representing Sun Pyramids, in Egypt) did for our tour group! Tamer is the best Tour Leader ever!!! From the very moment he picked us up at the airport to the moment we said goodbye, he was not only trying to please all our needs as a group, but he was always ahead of things. Tamer and Mahmoud are very professional, caring, friendly, knowledgeable, and they made our trip to Egypt surpass our expectations. I will recommend Sun Pyramids to all my friends and relatives due to the amazing job that Tamer, Mahmoud and their team did for us. There is so much to do in Egypt that we didn’t even know.
We felt like we had friends giving us a tour around Egypt, more than travel agents. Thank you Tamer, Mahmoud and Sun Pyramids for the amazing experience!!!

Amazing pyramid tour - Both myself and my wife Dianne absolutely loved this tour. The guide Mahmoud Emam was amazing. His knowledge of the history of the sights we visited was superb insightful and so very educational. He acted like a shield for the street vendors so we weren't hassled. He escorted my wife to the bathroom to avoid any undue attention. The driver Mohamed deserves his nickname "Vin Diesel", his driving skills were amazing. We felt very safe and secure with him behind the wheel. I recommend these guys 100% if you are doing a tour which involves the magnificent pyramids of Cairo. Great job guys thanks so very much for making our stay in Cairo so very memorable

Best Tour guide ever - We have spent two times, a half day with the best guide of Cairo. Actually the best guide of whole of Egypt ; Sayed Amin.
We originally planned to book the day trip to the pyramids of Giseh and Sakarra. But since it is the middle of July, we were a bit afraid of spending too much time outside in the hot weather.
So, we asked Sun Pyramids tour to organise 2 half days.
One to visit the pyramids of Giseh and the other half day to visit Sakkara and Mephis. If you have enough time in Cairo, we can highly recommend to split your visit like we did.
But the best tip we can give you is to ask for Sayed Amin as your guide. We enjoyed every second of spending time with Sayed. He has such a wonderful personality and he has a fantastic energy around him.
I can’t imagine any other guide to be more passionate as Sayed to share his knowledge with all his guests. You will not just learn facts and data from him. He really tries to bring you back in time and submerse you in the way of thinking of people in Ancient Egypt. His deep knowledge of both the history, but also the spiritual way of thinking of Egyptians in ancient times, made a lasting impression on us.
But most above all, he managed to get our 15 year old teenager to be impressed from everything he learned from Sayed and from what he saw at the fantastic historical sites. If you can get a teenager who is traveling only with ‘his old folks’ excited, your are definitely ‘next-level-guide’.
Sayed and our driver were super nice and caring people. A special thank you for our driver too as he managed to concur Cairo traffic as a professional !
We laughed a lot, we learned a lot and we will enjoyed every minute.
Thank you Sayed, our driver and Sun Pyramid Tours for a fantastic time in Cairo.

Thank you Sun Pyramids and Mr. Okasha - We hired Sun pyramids Tours for with my family when we visited Cairo. We were assigned Mr. Okasha as our coordinator and contact person
Mr. Okasha went always the more than the “extra mile” helping us with everything we needed well beyond his scope, he help us with currency exchange, reservations, to find our train at the train station , always taking care of our well being and safety
I strongly recommend the company but specially Mr Okasha
