real street live - The tour with Shorouk and Ahmed was great. They both are great entertainers. We tried food and visited places we would never try/visit on our own: real street live. Just do not eat to much at the beginning otherwise you will sufer with the food at the end . Dominik

Fantastic night with Ahmed trying local cuisine - We loved our tour with Ahmed, this is a must do in Cairo to see the real side of the local life and food! Ahmed was very kind and accomodating, it was great to spend time with him and learn about Egypt and its people. The establishments he took us too were authentic Egyptian restaurants and we had a great time trying the different tasty foods and were left very full at the end of the night. This is a must do experience and I can highly recommend Ahmed and his family to host!

YOU NEED TO DO THIS!! - An absolute must do when in Cairo. Ahmed and Shorouk are very knowledgeable and have lots of information about each dish, it's history, ingredients and place in Egyptian culture. Furthermore, you come as a tourist but leave as family.

MUST DO IN CAIRO - My sister and I started our trip to Egypt in Cairo with Shorouk. Shorouk is amazing and knows alot about local food. She took us to the best places and made us feel super safe. She also connected ys with some of her other tour guide friends so that we got the best and most tailored experiences everywhere we went! Oh and the food was AMAZING! We consider Shorouk a friend for life 💜💜💜

Delicious Cairo in the eyes of a friendly family that feels like old friends - My husband and I were huge foodies and we always make sure to join a food tour in every country we visit. We were glad to have picked this tour. Ahmed and Shorouk took us to places only locals go and introduced all the special dishes that the vendors do with great passion. We tried lots of different things and the portions were more than ample. It felt so special as if we had some local friends showing us around their neighborhood. They also stayed in touch after the tour and made sure we knew we could ask them anything about Cairo. We got some great restaurant recommendations from them as well and we went to try the local delicacy stuffed pigeons, which was super delicious. Would really recommend going on a tour with them first thing you get to Cairo!

Best Food Tour in Cairo - Shorouk’s food tour was nothing short of amazing! She provided great insight on the food and drinks that we sampled, showed us the best local spots for traditional Egyptian dishes, and allowed us to travel on the subway. To top things off, Shorouk also personalized my experience by providing a birthday treat and present to celebrate my special day. I could not have asked for a better food tour or guide!

Great tour!! - I met up with Ahmed only a few hours after my arrival in Cairo. He took my around downtown, and then to his neighbourhood by subway. I was able to sample many different local foods and traditional dishes. I was even able to participate in some juice making. Ahmed took me behind the scenes to see how the food was prepared, and explained where it originated from. Besides all that, he is a great person and a new friend for life.
