- A great food tour in downtown Cairo. The tour is led by a very enthousiastic couple that have a lot to tell about traditional Egyptian food and culture. We have tasted a good variety of foods! They also came up with alternatives for a group member who is a vegetarian. Would definetly recommend this tour. Yalla bina!

Amazing experience in the heart of Cairo! - Where to even start….This was an AMAZING experience for our family in downtown Cairo. We spent the evening Ahmed walking around to different locations and trying the best local food we could find. He tailored the experience around what we wanted to try. The people were all so friendly and we had zero concerns about our safety. If you want to get the real Cairo experience and not just travel like a tourist, do this tour! We went on a Thursday night (the beginning of their weekend) and there were SO many people out and about. Being able to just feel the city and the people living their lives was something our son (and us) will never forget!! I can’t even put into words how great of an experience this was for us. Thank you so much Ahmed (and family).

Truly a Family Food Tour - I have done a lot of food tours in many countries and I have to say that this food tour with Ahmed is one of the BEST I have ever done. From the moment you book the tour Ahmed's excellent communication and kindness is apparent. Ahmed immediately puts you at ease, sharing interesting facts and stories, getting to know you and showing genuine care for people all around him. The food was amazing, you get so FULL and get to try lots of traditional dishes in local run restaurants. If you want a wonderful evening filled with great company, interesting conversation and fantastic food then look no further!

A Delicious, Authentic Evening in Cairo - This is the Cairo experience everyone needs. It’s the perfect way to explore the city, walking through real neighborhoods where everyday life unfolds, far from the typical tourist traps and souvenir stalls. There’s nothing staged or commercial here just an unforgettable evening with Ahmed and Shorouk, two genuinely warm and passionate people who love sharing their city and its incredibly underrated food scene. They treated us like family and were eager to share stories and listen to ours. The dishes were outstanding, but the company was even better. Highly recommended!

Fabulous tour! - This tour was great and one of the highlights of our time in Egypt. Ahmed and Shorouk were wonderful! We had the special experience of being there during Eid, but I'm sure the tour would be just as fun any time of year.
