Shorouk was amazing! Highly recommend - Shorouk was absolutely amazing and knew so much about the food. The behind the scene we got at some of the restaurants was unforgettable. The food was sooooo delicious. Highly recommend going on an empty stomach cause there is plenty of food to eat. Excellent value and an easy distance for walking.

More than just a food tour: Authentic, honest and with a lot of heart - In short: Highly recommended. Because the rest of our family was unfortunately sick - I went out alone with my son. Ahmed made this afternoon an absolute highlight of our trip for us.
Here are the reasons why you need to book this tour with Ahmed:
• Humanity & heart: Ahmed is a fantastic host who has the heart 100% in the right place.
• Real insights: We have learned so much about the country and people that you won't find in any guidebook. It was a deep insight into real life in Cairo.
• Support Local: I particularly loved Ahmed's targeted support for small, local businesses and family businesses. You can tell he really wants to make a difference here.
• No rip-off: In a city like Cairo, it’s worth the gold – Ahmed is absolutely honest, transparent and there are no hidden sales pitches. Just authentic experience.
• Time & enjoyment: We never felt like we were being rushed. Ahmed took an extremely long time for us. The food was fantastic everywhere and the impressions of the people and streets of Cairo will accompany us for a long time to come.
Tip: Comes with an empty stomach and an open heart. Ahmed will take care of the rest!
Thank you, Ahmed, for this special day.

Fabulous food tour! - We had a great food tour with Ahmed. He was passionate about teaching the group about Cairo, Egypt and the food. Eat stop was great and exposed us to different aspects of the food scene. We have done food tours in many countries and this ranks among our favorites!

Be sure to join - Our guide Ahmed was super nice, had a lot of information about life in Cairo and of course about food. First we went to a juice bar and tried 2 juices. Afterwards we went to 3 local restaurants where we ate different local dishes, and finally we had sweet pastries in a bakery.
Tip: make sure to arrive with great hunger, because there is a lot to eat, not just small tasting dishes, and everything was really extremely delicious. 2 people had allergies, even Ahmed took that into consideration and organized an alternative depending on the court. The tour is also suitable for vegetarians.
We were a small group of 6 people and it was very fun, an all-round successful evening. The tour is fully recommended, you should definitely have gone along with it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Food Tour Experience in Cairo! - I had an absolutely incredible time on this food tour in Cairo. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and authentic, with a fantastic variety of local dishes that I probably would never have discovered on my own. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and showcased the true flavors of the city. 🍽️🇪🇬
What really made the experience special was our tour guide, Ahmed— extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egyptian culture and cuisine. He shared fascinating history, local insights, and stories that made each bite even more meaningful. 🏺✨
The waiters and staff at each location were also warm, welcoming, and attentive, which added to the overall experience. You can truly feel the hospitality everywhere you go. 😊
If you’re visiting Cairo and want to experience authentic food while learning about the culture, I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of my trip and something I will remember for a long time!
Absolutely worth it — come hungry!!

Fantastic experience! - I had a wonderful experience with Ahmed on the food tour. His passion for Egypt, Cairo, and Egyptian cuisine is so obvious and it made the whole experience very engaging. Alongside the food he toured us around areas of Cairo I certainly would not have seen without his insight, and this allowed me to go back the next night to explore further. Most importantly though the food was amazing! Laziz! Each stop was portioned just right, and so I felt fed throughout whilst comfortably being able to everything on offer. Lastly, any untouched leftovers were donated to those in need. I would thoroughly recommend if you’re in Cairo and want to experience the culinary delights that the city has to offer!

Ahmed's tour was a great experience - Ahmed took us on a great 3 1/2 hour food tour - no rush and lots of food in old Cairo. 4 of us visited very authentic local restaurants - nothing fancy but exactly what the locals would eat. Ahmed has a real passion for meeting and talking to foreigners about his Egyptian food and culture. If you want a very personal tour this is the one. He and his wife run their own small tours and can accommodate any needs. 1 couple last night was in the coffee business so he added a special stop at an Egyptian coffee roaster so we could all buy local coffee beans.

A Cairo highlight amongst many highlights - This was an unexpected highlight of our 5 days in Cairo. We wanted to experience things through the eyes of local people & this tour was perfect. Ahmed, Sharouk & family were the perfect hosts. We were over during Ramadan so our tour was an education on whats eaten and drunk during the period, really interesting and helped give us an understanding of what was going on around us. We were taken to some amazing eateries (which we wouldnt have found ourselves) given information on the dishes as well as the culture. Both Ahmed & Sharouk were very warm hosts giving just the right amount of information to keep things interesting but never overwhelming. They and their kids were very good company. The food was delicious and plentyful with an left over going to those in need. We left the evening nicely stuffed & full of happiness for our experience. Highly recommend.

Authentic Egyptian Food Experience - We've done dozens of walking/food tours all over the world and this was unequivocally the best. Ahmed was incredibly passionate about showing us his perspective of Cairo and Egypt. We had wonderful food at truly local places that we would have never found otherwise, while learning a ton about modern Egyptian life and culture. It was easily the most authentic experience we had in Egypt. We would highly recommend!

Great food tour in downtown Cairo with Ahmed - We really enjoyed our tour with our local guide Ahmed.
He was passionate about Egyptian food. We visited local food stalls/eateries and sat amongst the local people. Everything was interesting and the food was great.
