Good Glimpse into Egyptian Life
Mohammad, our guide, shared lots of valuable information about the area. The food stops were delicious from fava bean dishes to Shawarma & fresh juices & an Egyptian speciality of corn, macaroni, beans, lemon juice, tomato sauce & chile. We drove, mostly throughput Giza, also visiting different shops that specialized in local products & art as well as a drive through the local street market. It was a great glimpse into Egyptian daily life.

We would recommend the food tour with Mr Mo.
Our guide Mo was well informed and helpful . He was so excited while he was telling us about his country culture and the ancient history as well . he taught us much more about His hometown traditions and its industry such as the carpet school , papyurs gallery , aroma therapy and herbs spicies shop , the cotton factory as well .
It was very cultural and great tour, the food was Yummy specially the Kushari that is the main dish of Egyptians , which they could eat it at any time .
We highly would recommend this tour with Mo .

Amazon experience would highly recommend.
This will be a highlight of our trip. The tour guide was knowledgeable about everything, and we felt both safe and taken care of. All of the food was amazing, and the history we learned will not be forgotten. We even book anther tour with them for the end of our trip.

Felt like I was with friends - and a female PHD guide !
I don’t know where to start - this has been SO fantastic! As a solo female traveller for the day Amira just made my trip! It was as if I was roaming around with a friend. We did a fantastic breakfast , with a view of the pyramids. As we were speaking she found out I was interested in history and changed the plan to suit what I wanted to do. We went and saw Coptic Cairo and a fascinating alternative Cairo by going to the St Simon monastery. The car became a bit of a party vehicle with some of the best Egyptian music . As a PHd in hieroglyphics Amira was great with historical facts and local anecdotes. She is part of the Egypt royal tours- which is run by the “Sugar Queen” - yes you heard me right - first of her kind businesswoman who runs amazing tours and has female guides . Yes we did a few of the Egyptian usuals like buying some cotton (Nike cotton), quite a good papyrus place ( Egypt papyrus institute - much better than the others I had seen ) - but what was great was no pressure to buy and I got some really cool souvenirs. We ended the day on a Felucca and I feel like I have spent the day with friends. Thank you Amira and the sugar queen - I loved the proper local experience . I did many tours but this one was something else. Totally recommend and I will be coming back!
P.s - they even gifted me a papyrus with my name in hieroglyphics- what a classy touch!

Yummy food in Cairo
We went on a food tour on our second day in Giza. Amira was our guide and she was wonderful! Since we did a similar tour the day before this one, Amira was able to adjust our schedule so we did not have to go experience the same things twice. The food was yummy and the service was good at both restaurants. Expect to learn about the food, but also be aware that you will be going to other places like the papyrus museum, bazaar, and oils where you are able to buy goods(if you want). Overall, I had a pleasant experience and Amira was a great guide who treated us like family!

Tour Guide A+! Tour content, redundant.
The experience was excellent with our tour guide Amira and the driver was very capable on the streets. We started with the breakfast but went to the incense shop and paper art shop afterward. We didn’t realize that many of these tours are the same in this regard with shops being included on the tour. We found valuable items for gifts to buy from these shops in some cases, but in others, we did feel pressured to buy things we were slightly interested in but not budgeted for. Overall the experience on this tour was very good, but our tour guide should receive 5 stars because of her efforts guiding us.

Belle journée
Nous avons passé une très bonne journée avec mon guide et son chauffeur, ils étaient tous les deux très sympathiques et serviables, d'autant plus que j'étais une voyageuse seule et que c'était mon premier jour au Caire.

Exploration savoureuse du Caire
Nous avons passé un bon moment avec notre merveilleuse guide Amira lors de la visite gastronomique du Caire! La visite a commencé avec Amira nous montrant nos noms en hiéroglyphes et nous racontant la signification égyptienne alors que nous allions déjeuner dans un restaurant local, suivi d'une matinée remplie d'apprentissage sur les traditions égyptiennes telles que la fabrication de papyrus, les huiles essentielles et aller à un Boutique de coton égyptien. La journée s'est terminée par un délicieux déjeuner composé de viandes égyptiennes traditionnelles, de houmous, de soupe verte et de salade de tomates fraîches. La visite était une bonne façon de commencer notre voyage en Égypte, surtout avec un guide aussi compétent et passionné!
