Great and delicious
Momo was great. We zipped through the downtown area and managed to eat at 8 different stops. They were filling. Carb on carb. But tried dishes that you'd typically find in egypt.
Stops can vary and he asks what you like to eat and are interested in.
So my experience could be different.
We tried, falafel, koshary, fried mixed shawarma, Egypt sweet pie almost like a baked crepe in sugar/milk, ice cream, drinks (tamarino?), liver sandwiches, and one other dessert.
You'll be full by the end of this! Come hungry

A brilliant day in Alexandria
We had an absolutely brilliant day with Momo , who met us at our hotel and flexibly asked us what we wanted the day to consist of. We wanted to learn about Egyptian food , and taste the flavours rather than eat quantity , and understand the culture of Alexandria too.
We achieved all of that , a cumquat stall , milk & honey , sweet pastries , shawarma , a beautiful mezze style plate , delicious spiced liver in finger rolls , sweet pancakes , and finished off with fresh sugar cane juice. Along the way , we visited some beautiful cultural and religious sites , which were stunning.
Don't hesitate with this trip , Momo's English is excellent , he is affable and knowledgeable , and it was worth every penny.

Amazing tour!
Wow what an awesome tour walking, driving and eating my way through Alexandria! Guide Momo is super friendly and knowledgeable and took great care of me while we wandered the streets and alleys of the city. The food was amazing and the highest quality. You can choose between sit down restaurants, take out and sidewalk food carts. I did a little of each.
The tour is customizable so at one point I saw an interesting area full of small alleys with lots of stores. Momo took me walking through there and it was a fascinating slice of city life. We ended the tour visiting a large and beautiful mosque. I want to give a shoutout to the driver Ahmed. Driving through Alexandria is very challenging but he did it flawlessly. I give this tour and the people who run it the highest marks.

A must do while in Alexandria!
Our tour guide, Mahmoud, was excellent and immersed us in the Egyptian culture. He shared many traditional Egyptian dishes with us as we toured the city. He was very accommodating and worked with us regarding how adventurous we wanted to be regarding the food. We typical don’t eat liver or sweet breads, so those weren’t on our menu. However, if you enjoy those foods plus other more adventurous foods, Mahmoud will find it for you! He was also willing to take us to the museums and other tourists spots. So, come prepared with a personalized itinerary to fill your time and be ready for Mahmoud to tell you all the facts about the amazing sights and tastes of this wonderful city: Alexandria! Thanks, Mahmoud for a wonderful day! Cheers!

Great introduction to Egyptian cuisine
Jean, our food guide, did a wonderful job introducing us to some authentic dishes in Alexandria. At the same time we got to see some of the very interesting sights of this vibrant city.
Each dish was very tasty, some familiar, some new. In the end, we were all very full. A form of bread or dough is part of almost every dish, so don't bother if you are gluten intolerant.
Definitely a recommendation for those who aren't afraid to try something new and different.
