Hi! The experience with Sun Pyramids in Cairo has been fantastic. We have spent a few unforgettable days. Since arriving at Cairo airport we have always been very well accompanied and have helped us in everything. The guides have been fantastic and very professional.

Everything organized, from picking you up at the airport to private museum tours. The hotels, the cruise, the service... all out of 10. But a special mention to Menna that was from planning the trip, to counseling and every detail I needed. Always attentive and very predisposed. A real genius. He even sent me mjes as he had arrived at my house, once the tour was completely over. Thank you Menna.

We are delighted to know that you enjoyed your trip to Egypt with Sun Pyramids Tours, and we look forward to welcoming you again, whether here in Egypt or at any of our global destinations. We are also proud that our tour operator, Menna, met your expectations and helped make your experience truly exceptional.
We had a wonderful 2 week trip in Egypt. Hagar and Ezzat have planned every little detail perfectly. The care by Ezzat was trusting and always helpful. We had two great guides, Mohammed and Walid. They brought us closer to the history of Egypt and were very friendly and supportive. Thanks for this great experience!!
We are so grateful for your kind words, Mrs. Katharina, and for taking the time to rate us
Great Guides and Great Service! Thanks and Mohamed and Said, very prepared and organized guides! Mai and Yunis were excellent referents!
Really nice experience!! Abdo was super nice and helpful! He explained everything in perfect Italian and also helped us in the markets to negotiate with prices! Thank you so much, we hope to see you soon , inshallah!! 🥰
Private car with accompanied by the very good local guides (Mahmoud and Karam) and excellent driver(Ahmed). We have done Alexandrea and pyramids day tours and we have thoroughly enjoyed and had wonderful time. I strongly recommend Thanks Datla
Such an amazing trip, I am so glad I booked with sun pyramids tours they ensure thru out the trip to stay in contact to ensure I arrived safely. The drivers were all very good drivers and always had bottled water and sweets for me, the tour guilds were amazing very good English and took there time when explaining all the different things we went to see, would recommend for any tour
It's been a wonderful journey since its programming. At this stage we met Rana Yasser of the Sun Pyramids Tours Agency who, in addition to speaking and writing perfectly in Italian, constantly followed us in planning the trip in all its details and meeting all our needs with great attention, courtesy and professionalism. Not only that but also throughout the trip, despite being perfectly assisted by the guides, all perfectly speaking Italian, and the drivers, she was always in contact until our return to Italy. Rana has become for us a friend and our guardian angel in Egypt. But we would also like to go into detail about the trip and express our gratitude and gratitude to all the staff we knew and with whom we had daily relationship. We are referring to Guide Mohamed Moawad, Egyptologist of great competence, knowledge and experience who took us in the two phases of the visit to Lower Egypt to Memphis, Sakkara, Giza, Cairo Citadel, Khan El Khalili Point of Sale and Egyptian Museum. And we also refer to Guide Mohamed Hussein who guided us along the long tour of upper Egypt with great competence, knowledge and patience. He accompanied us to Abu Symbel, Aswan, the splendid light and sound show of the Philae temple dedicated to the cult of Isis, the great dam and the visit of the site of the unfinished obelisk, full of mystery and incredible hypotheses. Then along the Nile cruise, on the comfortable and cozy ship Steigenberger Regency, with visits to the temples of Kom-Ombo, dating back to the Ptolemaic period and sacred to the crocodile god Sobek with the museum of the mummies of this reptile, and Edfu temple of the ancient kingdom dedicated to the worship of the hawk god Horus son of Osiris and Isis, to the east bank of the temples of Luxor and Karnak and to the west bank of the Valley of the Kings, the temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the behemoths of Mennon. On all days of the cruise he followed and supported us with great patience in all our needs and answered competently all our questions and doubts. Yes, because the path of the history of ancient Egypt raises so many doubts and questions about the extraordinary abilities and incredible development of the Egyptian people in all fields of knowledge! Then the relaxing time on the Red Sea at Mercure Hurghada Hotel allowed us to admire the beauty of the tropical sea with beautiful excursions to Giftun Island with its turquoise Orange Bay and diving to admire the fauna and flora of the coral reef. The stay at the Mercure Hotel was very pleasant and met all our expectations. A special thanks is also due to the Guide Abdelrahman Azmy who with his perfect Italian and great professionalism accompanied us in moving between hotels in Giza and Cairo and the airport and also within Cairo to dinners with the light and sound show in Giza at the Great Pyramid Inn and on the Cairo Tower. Both unforgettable events for the spectacular and unique views. We really recommend not to leave out these experiences in addition to all the sites mentioned in order to have at least a general knowledge of the history of this great people. We also name the luxurious hotels of the Steigenberger and Tolip chains that have allowed us to spend moments of rest with every comfort. Finally, a special thanks also to the Cairo driver and Giza Abdelgalil who with great capacity and safety accompanied us in the chaotic traffic of lower Egypt. We focused in this review on the organizational skills, skills and human qualities of all members of Sun Pyramids Tours because they all impressed us and left a mark on our hearts. But another equally important sign they managed to leave in our knowledge and memories stimulating a very strong desire to return to Egypt and visit others of the many archaeological sites and other cities to discover new details and new mysteries of this great civilization. Needless to say, if you had the patience to read our review so far you also understood that Sun Pyramids Tours was a wonderful discovery that allowed us to discover the immeasurable treasure of this country.
