Great tour, lovely guide, tasty food! - Ahmed is friendly, and is a great conversationalist, knowledgable about culture and languages, besides Egyptian cuisine. He went that extra bit to help us explore and enjoy the food tour even more. Highly recommended!

5 Star!!! - What a great experience of local food and sites, Ahmed was an amazing guide, full of local knowledge and a great sense of humour. We were able to access places you would never dream of finding, forget the pyramids go on the tour and get to meet the locals! Five star.

Great fun, tasty and educational! - Such a lovely experience, great way to meet new people and the two guides are just such lovely people. Would recommend this to solo travellers as well as solo females - you will have an amazing time, learn lots about Egypt and leave with a very very full belly. We must have visited four restaurants in total and one desert place. Bring walking shoes!

Best food tour ever! Truly local experience!! - Ahmed was an amazing guide! It was just the two of us on the tour, so it felt more like a conversation between friends. He took me to some really local spots (family-run businesses, street stalls, a local market) and shared a variety of food with me to taste. It was all delicious! I got full quickly, but Ahmed assured me that any leftover food would be donated. I learned a great deal about Egyptian food and culture. Highly recommend this tour if you love food and culture!

Eating your way through Cairo with an Egyptian couple - Both Ahmed and Shorouk’s passion for showcasing the authentic side of Egypt, its food, culture, and local way of life, is truly infectious. Be prepared to eat and learn. This isn’t about polished, tourist-friendly restaurants. Instead, you’ll be guided to hidden gems: roadside stalls, tiny hole-in-the-wall eateries, and family-run spots you would never consider stepping into on your own. You come as a guest and leave as a friend.

Streetfood tour - The street food tour was a great experience. We had a wonderful evening with Ahmad and his wife who were the most friendly, hospitable and generous hosts. In their company we had a great night out in Cairo. Thanks a lot :-)

A Must Do Food Tour and Cultural Experience - We meet Ahmed at a smoothie bar where we tried a few traditional Egyptian drinks which started our food tour off with a sweet touch! We then moved to a close by restaurant for several dishes meant for the evening meal in Egypt, things we'd never necessarily order without the expertise and knowledge from Ahmed, we didn't just have food though.. Ahmed is extremely knowledgeable on the history of Egypt, not just the food either, this guy has a wealth of knowledge which we soaked up all evening! We chatted along the way to the 3rd spot for morning and afternoon meals, followed by a traditional snack, Egyptian BBQ and finally the most tasty dessert I've had since being here! During our time with Ahmed he was incredibly welcoming, friendly and made us feel so comfortable. This wasn't just a food tour it was an experience with the best host! We left with mangos in hand, which were bought during the experience and Ahmed even treated us to our first ever tuktuk ride back to our meeting spot to grab a taxi back to our hotel. My brother and I couldnt recommend his food tour/experience enough, it'll be an experience we talk about for a long time and suggest to anyone we know that makes the visit to such an incredible country!

Good food and good company - Ahmad is such a nice and passionate person, his passion about Egypt, it's culture and it's food is immediately noticeable. I had the pleasure of going to this by myself and was immediately made to feel incredibly welcome. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about Egyptian food or culture. Be prepared to eat lots of tasty food and be given great recommendations. I had an issue with my shoes and Ahmad with his kind soul took me to a shoe repair shop with his own time meaning the rest of my trip went very well. I would like to thank Ahmad for such a lovely time!
