I was disappointed with this tour. I don't have any photos to post because we spent almost the entire time in the back of a van parked on the side of the street. While we were in the van, the tour guide visited several local food vendors and brought food back to the van. The food was mediocre. The van was cramped so it was not ideal for spending a long period of time. Near the end of the tour, we were taken to an authentic coffee shop where the tour guide left us after a few minutes. Before leaving, I inquired as to whether it was typical for women to visit these types of coffee shops and the

Really fun tour. Took us to places we would not have gone by ourselves. Great to get a local’s take on Cairo.

Our experience was great. There was a wide variety of food on the tour, we saw a multitude of different sights and this was a great introduction to Cairo. Would definitely recommend.

We were disappointed with the tour . We paid $70 each for a private driver and three meals which we later found could be purchased for 200 Le . We read the description and expected a walking tour plus explain nations for meals . Driver was good . Have heard nothing back from tour company since I asked to verify that we had the wrong tour .

Disappointing Guide for Food Tour Our guide did provide local dishes for us to try but was not as knowledgeable as we had hoped on various ingredients used. We also went to papyrus shop and perfume shop although that I as not our focus. We were pressured to provide a review before the tour even finished making us very uncomfortable with our guide. He also took several calls while with us not making us feel important. We lik the idea of this tour but not with this guide and even have concerns with writing this review he may seek us out.
