We had a wonderful time. Hajer was an excellent driver and guide. She took us to a number of out of the way places for food and some shopping. We felt very safe and comfortable as she maneuvered her way through the heavy Cairo traffic and always seemed to find a parking spot. Very knowledgeable about her city and provided a lot of interesting information. Would definitely recommend her.
Ibrahim was great! We walked through downtown Cairo and he took us to the best places for koshari and flafel. He is very friendly and we talked about everything from architecture and history to our family and dreams. He's one of the best guides I've had on any tour.
Manar was a great guide. We went on a walking tour in Cairo’s downtown area and sampled food popular with the locals: koshari, felafel, shawarma, ice cream and rice pudding (my favorite). Highly recommended!
Tourguidie Manar and Driver John were very nice. We felt very safe. Manar's choices for foods were delicious and she explained everything to us. She even looked at my lists of foods I wanted to try and made sure we tried all of them! John navigated safely through the streets which were sometimes chaos!
The experience was absolutely fantastic! Ibo was such a friendly, generous, and well experienced guide. The food was definitely the highlight (as you would expect for a food tour) and bountiful!! What ever you do, make sure you come hungry!! Put this tour on your Must-Do List while in Cairo 👌
We had a wonderful day with Hend and her driver. We were introduced to very typical Egyptian food with the finale at Koshari Abou Tarek world famous koshary. We not only got a food tour, but a small history of Cairo and to my wife’s delight, a little bit of shopping
