Cairo street food - The trip was great :) 😊 everybody enjoyed the selection of dishes. We were in three local restaurants and a juice bar with sugar cane juice press and a dessert spot. I have never eaten so much in my entire life!

Tremendous Insider's Look at the Tastes of Cairo - To echo the sentiments of others, there is almost no way you will go wrong with this tour. Ahmed is a gracious host / representative for his city and land and has, without giving away all the secrets and surprises, concocted a charming trip through the streets of Cairo... all the while exploring in perhaps the greatest way possible... by way of our stomach! The outing is stitched together in a most thoughtful way and includes several awesome surprises along the way. Cannot recommend this experience and the folks associated with it enough. Make sure to arrive hungry! You won't be disappointed.

Great Family Local Experience! - This was a great experience! What a great way to experience Cairo and the local cuisine. First off the communication from Ahmed and Shorouk was great. They stayed in touch from the time of the booking all the way through the tour. They were amazing hosts. Their knowledge of their city and food were top notch. They also have great energy and genuinely came off as loving what they do. We met Ahmed, Shorouk and their 2 daughters at a juice bar in downtown Cairo and from there we visited several local food spots. They were very accommodating to our group of 4 as a couple of us are vegetarian. One of the highlights was a visiting a local falafel joint where they showed us how they make the falafels from scratch and then we got to enjoy the fresh, warm, crispy, tasty falafels. We were full at the end of the tour and had to start splitting our food because of how full we were. Everything was really good! Would recommend this tour if you are staying in Cairo!

Fantastic food tour! - Not all tours are created equal. It’s only as good as the tour guide. Ahmed and Souk have carefully chosen places known by locals. I was lucky to have a solo tour with Ahmed. Every place we went, he was welcomed like family. He was genuine, friendly and generous. I had an amazing experience. He was knowledgeable and good humoured. I highly recommend this tour just to meet him.

Wonderful experience - Thank you Ahmed for a wonderful food tour in downtown Cairo. The tour includes a mix of street food stalls and family-run eateries covering breakfast, lunch, dinner and sweet foods typical for the locals. It connects you to modern Misr through food culture that can sometimes be overshadowed by more touristy Ancient Egypt. Ahmed was an excellent guide, knowledgable, hospitable and accommodating for dietary restrictions (plenty of vegetarian options to have!). A must tour for anyone visiting Cairo - it's a lot of food, so be prepared! Thank you again Ahmed and all the best to you and your family.
