We had such a wonderful time exploring the Cairo food scene with Sameh! The food was plentiful and delicious. We got to try so many local places that we would have never found walking around on our own. The tour itself was very well organized - the walking portions were easy and safe, and the little extras like the felucca and tuktuk rides were special additions. Sameh was knowledgeable and so friendly. I even got to learn some Egyptian dance moves while letting the food in been stops settle. Definitely do this tour!! It was one of my favorite things in all of Cairo.
Amazing guide made it super fun. Lots of different foods and activities. Everything was planned out perfectly
We had a great food tour with Samesh. He’s quite a character - lots of laughter and energy. He took us to quite a wide variety places - some quick stops and some longer plus going into the kitchens! You’ve got to be a bit adventurous as the three of us hopped into a Tut Tut at one point and also one of the stops was a quite shabby food stall. All good though. A very memorable evening. 👍🏼👍🏼
Fill up on the Koshary. I went back the very next day! It really is incredible. The rest of the stuff you can take small samples of or else you will overstuff yourself to the point of feeling bad. Happy to report that none of the food make me sick, which of course is a concern in Egypt. The guide is very smiley and energentic. He got us taxis when one person had issues walking. Do this your first full day!
We’ve probably done about 30 food tours at this point and I think this might have been the best one. I think the food was good but the thing that made the tour amazing was Sameh. It felt like we were on a night out with an old friend. So many unexpected delights.
Amazing experience. Highly recommend this tour around Cairo to learn and taste at the same time. Thank you
