Cairo food tour extrodinaire

This is a food tour but so much more!! To start Sugar Queen is a local treasure - she knows all the best local foods - falafel (yum!), koshary (yum!), bucalava (yum!) But also shares the rich culture and generous nature of the modern Egypt The last meal is worth the price alone with lunch right in front of the pryamids I would highly suggest for anymore looking to see "real" Cairo

Thank you Boogie and Haitham

My wife and I had a really good time exploring Cairo and its wonderful cuisine. Boogie, our tour guide, and Haitham, the driver, were excellent, very knowledgeable, and helpful. They took us to different souvenir shops, and the local businesses had items you could purchase, but we never felt forced. It was a very enjoyable experience. I recommend.

If you're looking for a food tour that's a step up from ordinary this is the one!!

Cairo is FULL of places to eat and experience Egyptian culture. If you have limited time this is the one for you. We were paired with Boogie and a really GREAT driver that had already scoped out locations for us to try. First, go HUNGRY and don't expect to be able to eat everything. You're in for a real treat. Boogie will try to pace your eating but everything is so delicious you can expect to love it all. The morning starts with a "breakfast" of treats and eats, you'll get a bit of history in addition to your culinary experience. You'll stop in and sit with locals at a coffee house (yes, you can have tea), see residents doing their local shopping and out door markets, snack at made to order juice smoothies, and do a little shopping. Ask Boogie to take you to a small corner 'spice' store. Yes, it sells spices, but it you have any interest in tea, this is the place for you. EXCELLENT top shelf teas; full leaf, not that broken bits and pieces stuff from the bottom of the box. He can also take you to a local clothing shop that has reasonably priced Egyptian cotton items, yes, it's off the beaten path but so are the prices. It's not the typical stall Tshirt stuff. There are really two stars in my opinion. Dinner/supper is at a rooftop restaurant with good service, great food, and a Spectacular view of the Great Pyramids and Sphinx . If you can't eat your 'lunch' don't worry, Boogie stop on the way back to your hotel at again, a little, out of the way Koshary (?) shop and they'll pack it for enjoying later. Comment: my husband and I spent 2 weeks in Egypt and I fell in love with Koshary from Alexandria to Aswan, this one was the best. don't let the take out container fool you. it's the yummiest one. And last but not least, (hmm, i think this is the 3rd star) you'll have to frogger across as street but he'll help you; to go to again, another, little out of the way bakery. The outside looks like any other you'll see with loaves of bread, but step INSIDE. AMAZING!!! If you love sweets this is your happy place. They have savories, but I was appreciative of the sweet treats. They have variety packs so you don't have to select just one. We took that back to the hotel as well bc there was no way we could eat it then. Note: I can't eat walnuts, not a problem, they have tons of options. Bottom line, they've already figured out the places that make local foods that are just a bit elevated from the rest. Don't be fooled by little entrances, go for it, you won't regret it. Ask for Boogie if he's available, he'll ask you a bunch of questions when you meet and tailor the day for you.

Great food tour in Giza!

Boogie was a great guide- gave us so much history and knowledge as well as selecting four meals for us to try and explaining the Egyptian food Emam was an incredible driver- safe amongst the crazy traffic with a very clean car The correspondence via what’s app was perfect- they contacted us ahead of time effectively and efficiently!

Cairo Food Tour

Wonderful food tour; from the bountiful breakfast highlighting Egyptian staples, to the fresh squeezed mango drink and grilled luncheon platter overlooking the pyramids, Boggie thought of everything. My first day in Egypt was stupendous!! Thank you!!!

Happy Birthday Hala

Great time with Sugar Queen. We did a private food tour and the reviews did not do her justice. Her personality was so bubbly and infectious. I went with a group of friends and we had an amazing time. The tour started with music and fun energy on our shuttle as we celbrated Sugar Queen's birthday. The first stop was a traditional Egyptian breakfast. It was so much food, we knew we were in trouble! We were worried that we were not going to be able to continue eating this way for the rest of the tour, but we somehow managed. The tour was a great pace, after each food stop we took breaks, going to a jewelry shop to see how they make jewelry with the Egyptian cartouche of our names, an essential oils shop to try native Egyptian flower/plant scents, and a papyrus shop to see how papyrus is made. Hala and Amira our guides were great at sharing their culture and telling us about Egyptian history. The places we visited were local and we enjoyed being away from crowded tourist areas. Hala and Amira were so accommodating as we took our time eating and shopping, pushing our tour time over. We did everything that was listed and we were still able to enjoy a beautiful sunset and view of great pyramid and sphinx. We would definitely use their company for other tours as their service was above and beyond. The food and drinks were delicious and by the end of the tour we were honorary Egyptians and Hala and Amira's sisters.

Great food in Cairo

Suger (sic) Queen was outstanding. Great knowledge and sense of humour and she seemed to know some of the best places to eat. We had a lot of varied dishes and had to skip dinner! You best come hungry.

Hala, the Sugar Queen

We had seen previous reviews recommending our guide, Sugar Queen and we requested her. The reviews didn’t do her justice! She was brilliant! Great knowledge and sense of humour and she dazzled us with an amazing array of quality food. Come hungry! Oh, and xx we’ve booked another tour with her on Wednesday!

Great local experience

Had a great experience with Boogie (guide) and Haitham (driver). We visited great local places that I would have no chance finding on my own. Highly recommended!
