Good trip, but I would not book again or recommend them to anyone. The company will change its name, disappear soon, and start operating under a new name. The post is misleading to the point of fraud - no hot air balloon, no Nile cruise. Sunset activity turned into 1 night. They don't operate the tour - they subcontract to other companies that hire their own tour guides and bus drivers, book places, etc. 7 days was really 2.5 days of activities and the rest was logistics. You still paid for all the expensive things in Cairo, they only covered some cheap meals and cheap attractions. The 7-day tour was closer to: Day 1 - airport pickup Day 2 - guided tour - hotel breakfast, free buffet lunch (pay for your own drinks), 3 hours at the pyramids, 1 hour at the museum, and two "shopping destinations" - you pay for your own tickets, no dinner Day 3 - bus ride to Siwa & dinner Day 4 - see the three ruins sites in Siwa (cost less than $5 per person) & desert SUV ride, cold breakfast, decent lunch, decent dinner. Day 5 - half day - free swim in hot spring and salt lakes. Same lunch and same dinner. Day 6 - bus back to Cairo Day 7 - bus to airport. The place was less than $75 a night if you booked yourself, and for them to upgrade to a 5-star hotel - upcharge $150 a night per person - $3,000 for two people. So double the cost of the tour. Every time would have cost 40-50% less if you booked yourself. You're paying TourRadar to pay this company to pay another company to book everything and the tour guides. Do it yourself or find tours when you get there - it's cheaper.
Egyptian Treasures: 7 Day Journey from Pyramids to Siwa Oasis - C
Caitlin • traveled in October, 2025
This tour was incredible! Omar was my driver out to Siwa, and he was fantastic. The local guides in Siwa were very knowledgeable, and friendly. There is so much to see and do out there. The landscape was breathtaking. Accommodation was very good. Especially enjoyed the desert camp. The traditional Bedouin cousine was a great experience. As a female travelling on my own, I felt very safe the entire time and was well looked after by my driver and guides. Highly recommend this tour.
4 Days 3 Nights SIWA oasis From Cairo – Desert Safari Egypt - J
Jacco • traveled in April
The tour was advertised with English speaking guide, however the Sun Pyramid representative didn't speak English. Mahmoud was a nice guy and drove me around for the 7 days, but he certainly was not a guide, and I didn't receive any information about the places we visited.The itinerary and destinations were amazing, but the fact I couldn't communicate with the driver (again, should be guide) had a big impact on my experience, hence not a 5 star review. Also, it was disappointing that after writing to Sun Pyramid tours with my feedback they did not reply.
