Must do to see Real Cairo! - Wonderful chance to experience traditional comfort foods of Cairo and see the vibrant streets off the beaten tourist path. Our guide, Sama was a great ambassador to guide us through the inner streets of Cairo and explain about the food, culture and people of modern Egypt.

Food walking tour in Cairo - It was my first time with them and for sure it won't be my last time. I tried the food walking tour in the beautiful downtown in city of Cairo with my family and friends and we all loved it.. The guide, the food & the walk through the hidden gems of the city was simply amazing.. We ended our walk on a famous café for dessert and tea with mint.. It was one of the best tours I've ever had and the best way to know more about the country. Thank you ☺️👌👌

The most traditional Egyptian food - We had such a great experience! Amina, our tour guide, was amazing. She took us to all these incredible places and had us try the most traditional Egyptian food—places I wouldn’t have gone to if it weren’t for her. I totally recommend this tour!

Take this tour because you don't know what you're missing. - This is THE food experience that everyone visiting Cairo NEEDS to do. A fabulous introduction into the best traditional Egyptian tastes that are fulfilling and delicious. Emphasis is very much on the unique everyday foods that fuel Cairo, so you are able to tast and learn how the city really lives. Plus it's hosted by a knowledgable and passionate local who will take you to the most famous places, knows the staff and will describe for you the incredible history of these meals in Cairo. You will taste and walk a lot on this trip, and you won't be able to resist one more bite. My favorite food tour. Take it.

TO DO DEFINITELY - We were hesitant because of the food that might not be totally safe, but the guide reassured us immediately explaining that we would go to controlled and totally safe places, and so it was. The tour is perfect, our guide, Nouritta, was exceptional, nice, helpful, kind, offered us a drink, accompanied us where we wanted if we had any special request. It was fantastic, which made the experience ten times better. It is a tour for those who want authenticity, try local meals safely, and live the real cairo with the mess of the streets, the typical food, but without risks, and thus managing to fully appreciate the experience. Of all the activities we booked this was the one for which we had the least expectations, and instead it turned out to be the most beautiful we did, the guide was really like a friend, we chatted about the differences between our culture and his, he explained all the dishes, he immediately put us at ease from the first minutes involving us with questions. I simply recommend not eating anything before doing this activity because you eat a lot, and be light at lunch. It was worth it! How many characters is that?

I traveled to Cairo by... - I traveled to Cairo by myself and stayed in downtown Cairo in an air b&b. I arrived and night and as an American was a bit overwhelmed. I showed up for the tour and LuLu my tour guide was amazing. I was the only one on the tour so I basically had a private tour of the city. She is spoke perfect English, she’s so bright and new the ins and outs of the city. She made me immediately feel comfortable for the rest of the trip and the food and her knowledge was amazing. More people should explore this beautiful city.
