My daughter and I had an excellent day with our guide, Abdelrahman Samy and our driver, Ibrahim Tantawy from Sun Pyramids Tours. I booked the tour on short notice at 2:30am and they were at the hotel lobby at 8:30am to pick us up. The driver handled the hectic streets of Cairo like a pro, which went a long way to making us comfortable. They took us to the regular scheduled locations for our Coptic Cairo tour and a felucca ride on the Nile. They were also happy to take us to a couple of other church locations which I personally requested. Included with the tour was a meal which we thoroughly enjoyed, at Bonne Soirée Restaurant.(Just the food was included but I was happy to pay for the coke & coffees.) At the end of the day they returned my daughter and I safely to our hotel. I wish we had more time for another guided tour with these 2 gentlemen. If in Cairo and you need help planning a tour contact Sun Pyramids Tours I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Sincerely, Peter MacLean Canada

Luckily enough for a second day here in Cairo, I was able to have again Amir as my tour guide and Adham as my photographer for this tour. And again, in my opinion they did phenomenally well as my tour guide/photographer. They accommodated my vegan dietary needs and took me to a place where believe it or not I had wanted to try from seeing on YouTube. I HIGHLY recommend this duo. You will not be disappointed.

The tour guide was very knowledgable, spoke very good English and he was very protective of our group which is necessary when dealing with hagglers and shop owners. He was very accommodating and was able to help us find everything we needed. The photographer was also very professional and made sure we got some great shots which were sent to us 2 days after our tour.

The best!! Hassan was wonderful!! He was so knowledgeable and kind and friendly. He told us all about old Cairo and then got us a tour two days later of the Citadel and museum. We felt like we knew him after a 2-day tour with him. The tour itself was perfect too and we learned a lot. I recommend it 100%!!

I was very pleased with the tour and with the knowledge of the tour guide. He started with a brief of Egypt which was very helpful. I had plenty of time to see things in depth and yet we covered a lot of locations. I would definitely recommend Hassan and the driver to anyone going to Cairo
