I was hosting a tour in Cairo, and the participants went on this tour. It was five American women, and they came back, absolutely raving about it. They had fun, loved the Tour Guide, and loved all the food. Was a great way for them to try local foods, see downtown, all with a Tour Guide!

It was my first time with them and for sure it won't be my last time. I tried the food walking tour in the beautiful downtown in city of Cairo with my family and friends and we all loved it.. The guide, the food & the walk through the hidden gems of the city was simply amazing.. We ended our walk on a famous café for dessert and tea with mint.. It was one of the best tours I've ever had and the best way to know more about the country. Thank you ☺️👌👌

We had such a great experience! Amina, our tour guide, was amazing. She took us to all these incredible places and had us try the most traditional Egyptian food—places I wouldn’t have gone to if it weren’t for her. I totally recommend this tour!

This is THE food experience that everyone visiting Cairo NEEDS to do. A fabulous introduction into the best traditional Egyptian tastes that are fulfilling and delicious. Emphasis is very much on the unique everyday foods that fuel Cairo, so you are able to tast and learn how the city really lives. Plus it's hosted by a knowledgable and passionate local who will take you to the most famous places, knows the staff and will describe for you the incredible history of these meals in Cairo. You will taste and walk a lot on this trip, and you won't be able to resist one more bite. My favorite food t

Eravamo titubanti per via del cibo che poteva non essere totalmente sicuro, ma la guida c’ha rassicurato subito spiegandoci che saremmo andati in posti controllati e totalmente sicuri, e così è stato. Il tour è perfetto, la nostra guida, Nouritta, è stata eccezionale, simpatica, disponibile, gentile, ci ha offerto da bere, ci ha accompagnato dove volevamo se avevamo qualche richiesta particolare. È stata fantastica: il che ha reso l’esperienza dieci volte piu bella. È un tour per chi vuole autenticità, provare pasti locali in modo sicuro, e vivere il vero cairo con il casino delle strade, il c
