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.

Un punto culminante de El Cairo entre muchos puntos destacados
Este fue un punto culminante inesperado de nuestros 5 días en El Cairo. Queríamos experimentar las cosas a través de los ojos de la gente local y este tour fue perfecto. Ahmed, Sharouk y la familia eran los anfitriones perfectos. Estuvimos durante el Ramadán, así que nuestra gira fue una educación sobre lo que se come y bebe durante el período, muy interesante y nos ayudó a dar una comprensión de lo que estaba pasando a nuestro alrededor. Nos llevaron a algunos restaurantes increíbles (que no nos hubiéramos encontrado) dado información sobre los platos, así como la cultura. Ambos Ahmed & Sharouk eran muy cálidos anfitriones dando la cantidad justa de información para mantener las cosas interesantes, pero nunca abrumador. Ellos y sus hijos eran muy buena compañía. La comida era deliciosa y abundante con un sobrante que va a los necesitados. Salimos de la noche muy bien rellena y llena de felicidad para nuestra experiencia. Muy recomendable.

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!

Gran tour gastronómico en el centro de El Cairo con Ahmed
Realmente disfrutamos de nuestro tour con nuestro guía local Ahmed.
Le apasionaba la comida egipcia. Visitamos puestos de comida / restaurantes locales y nos sentamos entre la gente local. Todo era interesante y la comida era genial.

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 da consigliare
Abbiamo partecipato a questo tour enogastronomico tra le vie del Cairo ed è stata un’esperienza semplicemente straordinaria. La nostra guida, Ahmed, si è dimostrata estremamente professionale, competente ed appassionata. Non si è limitato a farci assaggiare piatti tipici, ma ci ha raccontato la storia, le tradizioni e la cultura dietro ogni specialità, rendendo il tour coinvolgente e autentico.
Abbiamo scoperto luoghi che da soli non avremmo mai trovato, tra piccoli locali tradizionali e angoli nascosti della città, assaggiando cibi deliziosi e genuini. Ahmed ha saputo creare un’atmosfera amichevole e rilassata, facendoci sentire sempre a nostro agio e rispondendo con entusiasmo a tutte le nostre domande.
Questo tour è molto più di una semplice esperienza gastronomica: è un vero viaggio nella cultura locale. Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque voglia conoscere il Cairo in modo autentico, attraverso i suoi sapori e le sue tradizioni. Grazie Ahmed per aver reso questa esperienza indimenticabile.

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!!!
