Cairo at the top - We had the opportunity to visit Cairo and its beauties with Omar (for the city and its culinary treasures) and Walid for the historical/artistic part! Both lovely people, speak excellent Italian and allow you to better appreciate these special places! Absolutely recommended! Thanks to Omar and Walid;)

Wonderful Cairo night - I would like to thank the organizers of my trip to Cairo and especially to Omar Saleh, the Sun Pyramid Tours representative in Cairo. He was very supportive and friendly and planned a Cairo tour with a delicious koshari dinner. I definitely recommend Sun Pyramid Tours and Omar Saleh.

Unforgettable Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor – Thank you Ahmed Eid! - We had a magical experience with the Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, a trip we recommend to anyone who wants to discover the soul of Ancient Egypt. Our guide Ahmed Eid was impeccable: highly trained, passionate and always attentive to the needs of the group. He was able to turn every visit into a real time travel. The route along the Nile, the river that was the lifeblood of ancient Egyptian civilization, allowed us to explore wonderful temples such as Philae in Aswan, dedicated to the goddess Isis, and the magnificent Temple of Kom Ombo, unique in its kind because it is dedicated to two gods at the same time: Sobek and Horus. Arriving in Luxor, the ancient Thebes, we were speechless in front of the temples of Karnak and Luxor, masterpieces of Egyptian architecture, and the visit to the Valley of the Kings was exciting, a touching moment among the tombs of the pharaohs, including that of Tutankhamun. The ship was comfortable, with impeccable service and breathtaking sunset views. But what made everything really special was the professionalism and passion of Ahmed Eid, who guided us with a perfect balance between culture, curiosity and sympathy. A unique experience in the heart of eternal Egypt. Thank you Ahmed Eid for making everything unforgettable! Would you also like to add a star rating or some details about the type of boat or company?

The agency to live a dream - Superlative travel agency and absolutely recommended! They made us experience dream days, perfectly organizing all the trips and even the internal flight to Luxor. A special mention to Israa, who organized everything to perfection and was very helpful and kind for the entire duration of the trip, as well as being able to include all the fundamental stages, despite the little time available; to Yunis who was a very thoughtful and nice companion. And finally the guide is Emad, with incredible competence as well as his great friendliness and friendliness. Highly recommended to better experience this fantastic land that is Egypt!

Breathtaking private tour from Cairo to Luxor - I recently traveled with Sun Pyramids in Egypt, a private tour from Cairo to Luxor, and everything went fine, with great hotels and overall organization. The guides, both in Cairo (Emi) and in Luxor (Mido), were extremely professional and helpful. The drivers as well. I highly recommend this agency for your trip organization.

Woooow …. Remarkable and Breathtaking - I traveled to Egypt with several friends from Texas. This was my first tour to Egypt and what a fantastic tour it was! Sun pyramids tours was our organizer for over a week as we visited the pyramids, Nile and the surrounding areas. Golden was exceptional in their knowledge of the history of all the places we visited. They were professional in their behavior, appearance and dialect; in fact, they made the tour fun and enjoyable for us! I highly recommend using their company, you won't be disappointed!

Lights and shadows in Egypt - I contacted the Sun Pyramids Tour agency via the Evaneos website. With the operator Ahmed we immediately agreed well thanks to the fact that he speaks and writes in good Italian. He met my requests trying to satisfy them and we built a 7 day trip with 3 nights in Cairo in a good hotel (Hilton Zamalek that I also recommend for dinner), 1 night in Luxor in a great hotel on the Nile (Iberotel) and finally one night in Alexandria in a bad 4 star hotel-Cherry Marysky (very worn, unironed sheets, lack of western standardizzod, sigh!) that I promptly reported to the agency. We were two couples of friends always accompanied by a guide who spoke Italian with a car with a private driver. The trip included guided tours to Cairo (Pyramids, Museum, Saqqara, Melfi, Citadel, Coptic Quarter, Grand Bazaar..), Luxor (Temples, Tombs..), Alexandria (Citadel, Library, Pompey Site, Catacombs), Half Board Service and Cairo-Luxor domestic flight to/from Cairo. Overall all at a great price! However, there were some unforgivable shortcomings: -The Italian guide in Cairo was quite old and struggled to move but above all spoke a stunted Italian with limited knowledge - Twice at the airport (arrival from Italy and return from Luxor) the person who was supposed to welcome us on our arrival was not present (this is not pleasant...) and arrived only after our reports to the agency - The car that took us from Cairo to Alexandria halfway to the broke down and we were two hours late waiting for the replacement car. But let's say that it can happen .. is that put together with the other flaws meant that the evaluation was not excellent. Of course the country is not simple and life is difficult, certain standards are not easy to obtain. Let's hope they improve!
