Great - I booked a trip with them to Cairo with a cruise from Luxor to Aswan. It was a beautiful and complete trip in all aspects, from cleanliness to choosing places and prices. It was an unforgettable trip. All thanks to Martina. She organized the entire trip from A to Z. She was a wonderful person in the truest sense of the word. She advised me to choose the best hotels and the best tourist places. She was with me all the time to help me and answer all my questions and inquiries. I advise everyone to deal with her. Thank you very much

Fun with the pharaohs - I did the West Bank (Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut Temple) & evening Karnak light show tour. Enjoyed it all, worth it, lunch was good. My history guide Samah was excellent, knows the sites very well, helped make it come alive. I did a second day tour with her also, to Edfu & Kom Ombo tenples in Southern Nile Valley, also recommended. Sun Pyramids are pros, been doing this a long time, not the cheapest but not a ripoff either.

Great time in Luxor - I like sun pyramids agency, they gave me an amazing tour guide for 2 days who I loved. Her name is Samah Ahmed and she was incredible. She has so much knowledge about Egypt. We went to the Valley of the Kings to see the tombs of Ramses I, Ramses IV and Ramses IX, Colossi of Memnon, Temple of Hatshepsut, and Luxor temple all in 1 day. Luxor weather is really harsh compared to Cairo and the sun hit much harder but Samah helped a lot. Every time there was a line to go anywhere, Samah told me and my girlfriend to sit in the shade while she stood on line. That was an incredible gesture, I saw many tour guides just sitting on the side while tourists were in line but Samah sparred me the sun. There was a long car ride to Denbara Temple on the 2nd day with her and she spoke to us explaining everything we saw along the way. Samah was very patient and polite when answering all my questions about Egyptian history and culture. I am in the United States and information here is not always reliable but Samah was helped me understand the people of Egypt and their culture. I booked Sun Pyramids for a sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor, and they confirmed everything with me beforehand. The train ride, the taxi pickup to and from my hotel in Cairo and Luxor. The best part is the guide they chose for me. When I return to Egypt in the future I will choose Samah and Sun Pyramids again. I will recommend Sun Pyramids to anyone traveling to Egypt.

Unforgettable trip, totally recommended - We have spent 10 days in Egypt and it has been an unforgettable experience. From Luxor to Asuan we were with the guide Wael who treated us phenomenally, always attentive to our needs and with whom we visited the temples of Karnak, Luxor, Abusimbel among others, he has immense knowledge and the explanations are very enjoyable. Later we were in Cairo with Sayed and he was also a success, always attentive to our needs and making the visits very pleasant. We organized the trip with Menna Helmy and she was very attentive to us at all times and adapted the trip when we requested it. Without a doubt to repeat!

Eslam has to be the best tour guide in Luxor! - I purchased the package where you fly from Cairo and have a full day private tour of Luxor. The day in Luxor was the highlight of my trip. My tour guide’s name was Eslam. He was very knowledgeable and patient. He showed me the entire city of Luxor and I felt like everything was done in a time frame that truly allowed me to soak everything in. The Valley of the Kings was breathtaking and I still cannot the magnificence of what I witnessed while there. If you purchased a tour in Luxor I would definitely recommend requesting Eslam.

Amazing day in Luxor - Absolutely had one of the most perfect day in my life in a private tour through the East and West Nile. A full packed day that started at 7:30 and finished around 17:00 pm with my guide Ghada and driver Mahmoud. The went on and beyond to make this trip enjoyable for me. Ghada is very knowledgeable and took time to answer my questions and it never felt rushed. Mamhoud always opening the door for me and made sure i felt comfortable while in the car. I highly recommend this tour and is a must while traveling through Egypt.
