We took the local family dinner & cooking experience. We loved this experience! Being able to go to a local house and enjoy authentic home cooked food was great!
Many thanks for your delightful words. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your trip to Egypt with Sun Pyramids and look forward to welcoming you back to Egypt.
It was a really good experience with a great guide. We had feared chaos and intrusive traders when we were to visit the market. It wasn't at all - and our guide was patient when we wanted in the stores, and always helpful with dealing on prices. He told many interesting stories and facts along the way. Very recommended!
Mohamed Khames (Mo) was an absolute legend tour guide- he was so enthusiastic, had a genuine passion and good knowledge on Egyptian culture and history. We did a tour of the markets with him and despite us booking last minute, he communicated promptly and was so accommodating. Our driver, Mariam, and Mo picked us up in a clean car, and Mo thoroughly briefed us on what to expect when going through the spice markets, and Khan el Khalili to stay safe. We enjoyed all the information on the architecture, he gave us plenty time to browse at our own pace, and enjoyed the tour of the mosque. Mo was so kind, attentive, and had great local suggestions, got us some amazing sugarcane juice, and overall had amazing English and was very well spoken. He curated a tour that was well suited to our interests and we would definitely recommend him as a tour guide!

The most AMAZING Tour Guides and Experience. Even took pictures of us in gorgeous locations and carried our packages. Negotiated for us and always made sure we were safe and well cared for. Could not recommend Mustafa and Mary enough! ❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU! Trip of a Lifetime! Egypt is BREATHTAKING!
Kareim is a very good tour guide and knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He also knew the right places to shop for souvenirs and protected me from being harassed. His driver was also very good and I felt safe with him driving through the busy streets downtown. I highly recommend this tour.
I requested a female guide. My guide was a 25 year old male who spoke too loudly and hovered over me. I felt suffocated. I do not feel he was a professional tour agent. I requested that I end my experience early and they took me back to my hotel.
My tour guide Hamad was very helpful and knowledgeable. I felt very safe as he showed me the different sites during my private tour. I did not feel pressured to buy things or rush. He had great recommendations and tips for shops to go to and avoid. He gave an interesting history of the mosques we visited and of Al-Moez Street. Highly recommend this for a quiet and organized shopping trip.
Your Safety is very important to us, and we appreciate your allowing us to assist you, Mrs. Khadijah. Also, we appreciate your kind words regarding the driver and representative staff, and we hope to see you again soon.
This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Cairo. Mahmoud was an excellent tour guide—extremely knowledgeable, kind, and someone who made me feel safe throughout the entire experience. I learned so much about the history, local cuisine, and the architecture of the markets across different eras.
Your Safety is very important to us, and we appreciate your allowing us to assist you, Ms. Ashlee. Also, we appreciate your kind words regarding our tour leader, Mahmoud, and we hope to see you again soon.
