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.

Wonderful street food tour
It was our first day in Egypt and we wanted a non- tourist, local view of Cairo. Shorouk did a wonderful job introducing us to Egyptian street food in the downtown core. My kids and I felt really comfortable and welcomed in all the stops and around the city. The food was delicious from breakfast food to learning about tahini production and dessert! Its a wonderful and delicious way to experience Egyptian culture.

Fabulous local food tour
We had a wonderful time doing the food tour with Ahmed and his family our first night in Egypt. We visited 5 (6?) different food vendors sampling different local specialties. Ahmed was a wonderful host educating us on the culture of Egypt and about Ramadan . He communicated with us via WhatsApp before our arrival and made us feel like we were dining with family we didn’t know we had in Cairo.
We were 2 couples plus another couple and single traveler, we enjoyed the small group experience. He sent us home with a box of dates and Ramadan keychains as reminders of our great dining experience. We are grateful for their hospitality and highly recommend the tour. The price was much less than other food tours we looked at and we couldn’t be more satisfied.

Tour to recommend
We took part in this food and wine tour through the streets of Cairo and it was a simply extraordinary experience. Our guide, Ahmed, proved to be extremely professional, competent and passionate. He didn't just let us taste typical dishes, but told us about the history, traditions and culture behind each specialty, making the tour engaging and authentic.
We discovered places we would never have found on our own, between small traditional bars and hidden corners of the city, tasting delicious and genuine food. Ahmed was able to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, making us feel comfortable and answering all our questions enthusiastically.
This tour is much more than just a gastronomic experience: it is a real journey into local culture. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know Cairo authentically, through its flavors and traditions. Thank you Ahmed for making this experience unforgettable.

We went to 6 different establishments and Ahmed was very informative about each food we tried and how and when this food
The tour exceeding my expectations, was organized in a fun and interesting way. Ahmed was engaging, sincere and his passion for his home and food was evident.

Can’t-miss food tour in Cairo!
We were warmly greeted by our hosts, Ahmed and Shorouk and their two daughters, and immediately felt welcomed and appreciated. Our tour began at a local juice bar and proceeded to six additional stops, each one featuring authentic and exciting Egyptian dishes. From small (tiny, really) restaurants to street food stands, and finally ending at a sweets shop/bakery, every stop was fantastic, educational and filling! The entire evening felt like a visit with family members, complete with excellent explanations of the food’s history and the connections with Egyptian culture. Highly recommended!!!
