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

Thank you for making our last day in Cairo hassle free. Our driver was great and he made sure that all our needs were met to the best of his ability. The vehicle was comfortable and the company ensured that we got an English speaking driver which made communication so much easier.

Waleed Elmangalify was a very knowledgeable guide and great fun. We had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. With Waleed’s help, we got some great photos and came away with lots of happy memories.

Mina our driver was the best person I could possibly ask for. He provided knowledge, interacted and helped with everything. Will definitely use this again when I next visit. Big thanks to the main man Mina
