Tons of food! - Ahmed was awesome! So much food is included too, it’s a miracle if you can finish it all. He really cares about your story and is great at small talk. Highly recommend

Recommended food and street tour - Excellent food tour - explaining the dishes and talking about people and places. A chance to see interesting streets and neighbourhoods on the edge of Downtown, guided by Ahmed and Shorouk with one of their daughters. You get a sense of the city street life at night. We went at the 7pm slot and it lasted about 3.5 hours, we didn’t count the number of stops but it was a great amount of food. Highly recommended!

Lovely food tour - Ahmed was fantastic at guiding us through a local and authentic journey of cairo food. We experienced many different types of food, entering restaurants or street stalls we would never have found by ourselves. The food was delicious. The owners very friendly. We learned a lot about culture and customs too. Thanks Ahmed for a great evening. Highly recommend

It was delicious and fun. - · Our guide Ahmed showed us around some of the locally rooted shops that regular travelers can't go to, and explained the history of the shops and the city. ・Everyone who participated was friendly and was able to participate without anxiety. ・They will introduce you to some of the shops that you are personally interested in about Cairo and Ahmed's recommendations, so you can ask people who are going to join them. ・I can’t disclose the contents, but I visit several shops, so please be careful if you eat small ^^

Amazing Experience - This was such a fun experience. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 teens. We loved our time on the tour. Our guide was kind, attentive and welcoming. Unfortunately, our daughter wasn't able to finish the tour and we ended up having to leave before the conclusion of the tour. We all would absolutely book this experience again.
