Night in middle of Giza area. - We’ve been with Rafaat for one night through Gisa area. With him, we’ve visited different shop and eat on different place specials Egyptian street food. We ended up the tour, with tea and water pipe in bar in middle of local people. We’ve spent a good evening.

Great Food Tour! - Raafat was a great guide for us! He is very nice and kind with a great smile! He drove us to many places where we learned about the Egyptian culture. We also sampled many food like Shawarma, Flaffel, and Koshry. All the food was delicious! We would do this again if we come back to Cairo.

Not a walking tour, it’s a hopping in and out of a car food tour. - Raafat my guide was in time and was very friendly. He is NOT the reason why I gave 3 stars. As soon as I booked, I received 14 messages from the tour operator pushing me more tours which I found very annoying. I almost cancelled the tour right away just because of the level of insistence. I did a lot of food tours in my life (and in different countries around the world) and it was not at all what I was expected. You get picked up in a car and the guide drives you around the city to try food. The guide also wants you to stop at other touristy spots like a spice market, papyrus museum, etc.. which was odd since it is labeled as a FOOD tour. I asked the guide to not stop and he was totally okay but be aware that it is apparently not just a food tour. There’s no walking around, it is literally just hopping in and out of the car to grab food. The food was delicious but there was no history or culture shared throughout the tour like the other food tours I did. Maybe it was the language barrier but I was expecting to learn more about the Egyptian culture, especially during a food tour. I don’t think I would recommend this tour simply because it didn’t meet my expectations.

Beware! Dishonest company! - Our guide was exceptional, but the company is dishonest and not trustworthy. They bring us to businesses that scam tourists and charge 3-4 times the right price for jewellery and souvenirs. Trying to bargain and you still end up paying much more than the proper value of any item. That's too bad because our experience would have been great otherwise.... Beware! I recommend starting away and find other more honest businesses.
