Best experience ever with Sun Pyramid Tours. They made everything so easy from start to finish. I didn’t have to think about anything, they took care of every detail, all I had to do was show up! I booked a tour to the pyramids, sphinx, Saqqara and the old city of Memphis. I expected a mini bus filled with other hotel guest on the same tour. It turns out it was not that at all. It was literally a private tour, I was the only one on it. I got a air conditioned minivan, professional driver, and local Egyptologist tour guide all to myself!! It was incredible. Dahlia was the BEST guide ever. She handled everything for me, stood in all the lines, got all the tickets, and walked next to me answering every question. She pointed out every detail and added hilarious anecdotes that kept me locked in and engaged all day. She also took about a million photos of me standing in front of everything and, perhaps the best service of all, she protected me from the attacking zombie movie street vendors. Her English was extraordinary and easy to understand. Dahlia sorted through the incredible volumes of historical information and told me only the important parts, while also explaining their significance to history and the development of Egyptian culture. She made the information interesting, not presenting the knowledge as a boring textbook lecture, but rather as colorful, personal and alive. By the end of the tour I felt completely connected to the sites and the history. She is amazing. Perhaps the best part of the trip was not just looking at ancient historical sites but also watching her face as she lit up with excitement when sharing her knowledge. She told me she’s been a tour guide for over 20 years but I saw her being still completely. amazed by the magic of this incredible place. Her passion for Egypt was infectious. I felt as if we both were discovering the wonders of Egypt together for the very first time. If you’re coming to Cairo definitely book with Sun Pyramid tours and request Dahlia as your guide. You will not be disappointed.
