Amazing from start to finish
What an amazing trip from start to finish. We got picked up in a small 3 row van that was very spacious and had working AC. Our first stop was a delicious breakfast in a very clean and friendly restaurant. Along the tour we were able to try an array of different spices, tea and had a to go box of Egyptian desserts for later. We tried two other restaurants that were also very yummy, clean and super friendly. Amira was very informative, friendly and passionate. We had an amazing time and couldn’t ask for a better guide or driver. Thanks for such an amazing tour!!

Fun and tasteful Food Tour of Cairo
What a great time we had with Sugar Queen on this fun foody tour of Cairo. It's great to have someone like Sugar Queen and a local driver take you to some of the best local restaurants to enjoy Egyptian food. The first place we went to was early in the morning so we got to experience an Egyptian breakfast. Falafel, hommos, vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and lot of fresh breads. Really tasty! For lunch we went to a large Egyptian restaurant beside a lovely lake where we enjoy a huge assortment of different foods like barbequed chicken multiple vegetables, olives, cheeses and salads. Again very tasty! Our last stop was the rooftop restaurant of a hotel overlooking the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx where we had coffee and desserts. Needless to say we were pleasantly full after a full day of touring and eating. I highly recommend this private tour and ask for Sugar Queen.

Big Day Out
Ok so second last day in Egypt and I have a private tour the itinerary was arranged between myself and Muhammad.
From the time Muhammad picked me up along with Muhammad our driver the day was amazing.
Our eating venues were superb as was Muhammad’s guidance.
Muhammad’s driving was both skilful and safe in two Cairo peak hours.
Thank you for a great day.

Shopping Tour with food
Sugar Queen energy was good. This was more a shopping tour rather than a true food tour and learning about the food.
Stopped at more shops and spent too much

Excellent tour, tour guide and suprises
This "Private Food Tour in Cairo" was way more than what I expected. To say it was just good would be an understatement. This personally exported private tour went beyond my expectations and I can truly say it was.... OUTSTANDING !! I must say it was all because of our excellent tour guide (the owner of the tour company Royal Egypt Tours) Hala Egypt Sugar Queen. I went into the tour thinking my sister and I would be treated to new and tasty Egyptian food. But much to our delight, it turned out to be not just an excellent food tour but one of the most outstanding tripsone could take through the city of Cairo (Giza). Giza is Halas hometown and she took us on one of the most incredible food and guided city trips possible. Then after all the excellent food, drinks and welcome suprises to awesome shops and sites. Hala topped it off with a rooftop visit to the Hyatt Hotel to have some drinks while over looking the most spectacular views of the Pyramids of Giza. I give this a 5+ star tour and highly recommend spending the day with Hala tasting food and seeing Giza (Cairo).

Road trip with unremarkable food
Car tour with guide stopping for (1) falafels and dips breakfast (2) juice drink (3) Khoustary (rice and pasta dish) (4) coffee with hookah pipe (5) chicken lunch. We were also dropped at two shops (spices and cotton).
After 3 1/2 hours we abandoned the tour. We had not seen any sites, the eating places spread over a few roads in Giza and typically run down “fast food” type places where locals would eat a full meal, rather than allow us to sample local food.
We didn’t think the tour reflected the description or reviews
1) no sight swing
2) a car trip with seven stops
3) shops were unremarkable tourist places
4) the guide lost interest after the first shop and talked on the phone
5) lunch stop was a run down chicken place on a busy street which we’d been taken to the day before for a quick lunch, rather than the Hayat overlooking pyramids in most of the reviews.
6) not much commentary into the food, only a brief overview of Egyptian history which you get visiting the pyramids or any of the museums.
We left the tour before sitting down to lunch (full with food after 31/2 hours) and paid the guide an extra $10 to be dropped in Islamic Cairo.
We paid over $150 for two people for probably $35 of food and $20 Baklava which our guide kindly bought us. Had we known the tour was 100% driven round Giza (not Cairo) we would have booked a walking food tour to see both the sites, experience a wide selection of foods and build up an appetite. I’d advise the tour company to update their description.
Note: the company contacted me on WhatsApp after posting my review complaining and calling me names. I’m not sure if others had a different tour (we went on Friday) but it did not live up to expectations, unremarkable food which we’d eaten similar elsewhere.

Over the top with personal attention
The tour was terrific. Sugar Queen and driver Hysen (sp.) were a sensational team. We were exhausted after the mixed grill tasting and thought we had a fine taste of Cairo , We decided we should end the tour. even though we would miss the dessert experience. We went on the tour almost immediately after landing and were exhausted. When Sugar Queen dropped us off at our hotel she handed me something from the dessert tasting we missed. .Sugar Queen had slipped out our grill tasting and unknown to us while which we were enjoying thetasting with our driver to get us dessert. She handed us the box when we were dropped off at the hotel. We opened the box three hours later we were stunned with a fabulous fantastic sweet treat for the eyes and the tongue. We have been on food tours in many countries. None was better than this this taste of the country tour and as a bonus watching, talking and learning from folks about several native crafts. In sum, if you are considering a food tour in Cairo, you will enjoy this exceptional tour.

Trip started out really...
Trip started out really well with an enthusiastic guide and a wonderful breakfast. After first course we stopped at a perfume shop and didn’t buy anything. After that our guide spent 99% of her time on the phone outside the restaurants handling other business. Perhaps she became disinterested in us because we didn’t buy or something else happened. Luckily our driver stayed with us at the various stops and was engaging. But, we were hoping for a more immersive experience on the food. There is a lot of food, so come hungry. Would be best to have smaller portions and sample more. Also, a market tour to look at various ingredients would be nice to learn more. Also recognize this is a shopping tour in addition to food so keep this in mind. Reviews for this were outstanding, so that’s why we selected it, but unfortunately our high expectations weren’t met.

Amazing!!!
We had the most amazing tour with Mo and Haitham. They took care of our every need. The food was incredible but we also got to do some shopping and see how papyrus is made. Our view at lunch was absolutely breathtaking and this has been our favorite day of our trip so far! We can’t recommend Mo enough as a guide!!
