Experience the best of Cairo with Withlocals

"Yussuf was an outstanding food guide in Cairo and truly made our trip special from start to finish. He had planned our itinerary to balance culture, history, and food experiences perfectly. One of the highlights was when he took us to a local restaurant for our very first iftar which was an experience that we would never have found on our own. It gave us a real sense of the local atmosphere and traditions. He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating and adjusting plans as needed. He was close enough in age to connect naturally with our two teenage boys who genuinely enjoyed his company, and which made the whole experience even more relaxed and fun for all of us. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Knowledgeable, thoughtful, adaptable, and great company — highly, highly recommended!"

"Maga made the Pyramids come alive. And in the process, he took us on a journey back in time and helped us contextualise not just the site but the spirit of the age."

"My 14 year old son and I had the most amazing time with Naira. She was very knowledgeable and the places she picked were fantastic. We definitely got an insight into Egypt that we would have totally missed otherwise. I can only recommend taking a food tour with her. I think we won’t need food in the next days. From Koshary to an unplanned ice cream stop to a wonderful BBQ restaurant and topping it up with a dessert that left us speechless - it was simply perfect. We also loved the conversations we could have about life in Egypt, studying etc. Overall a 11 out of 10 experience!!! Thank you Naira "

"I’m a woman traveling alone for business, and know virtually nothing about this region. Was nervous to do touristy things alone, and connected with Moustafa — it was absolutely fantastic! He gave me a unique and unforgettable tour of Giza pyramid area, the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and the Bazaar, with multiple stops off the beaten path, and helped me find a perfect gift for my mom. He even helped me know how much to tip, haggled for me, caught my phone before it was smashed by an camel, and helped me figure out how to wrap a scarf. He also is a great photographer! His passion for ancient Egypt was palpable and his kindness put me completely at ease, and everywhere we went, people greeted him with warmth and respect. Could not recommend him more."

"We had a great day with Ahmed. He’s flexible and full of information about Egyptian life and the Muslim experience. We learned a lot and had fun! "

"We enjoyed our day with Youssef very much. It was like going for a walk with a knowledgeable and curious friend. You won’t learn dry historical facts from Youssef - you’ll learn about what it’s like to live and work in Cairo for most people. You’ll learn where they shop and meet and eat and have fun. We recommend Youssef highly. "

"Ramses was such an incredible guide for our tour around Cairo for the day. He took us to a number of different spots throughout the city and did an unbelievable job at not only telling us why these sites were important but also the complete history for the area. Ramses was truly a guide that will make your trip unforgettable and we can’t recommend him enough for your trip to Cairo. "

"We were so grateful to have Nesreen as a guide for the pyramids, not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the history but we also had so much fun with her!! She truly made our experience unforgettable and we wish we could have spent the rest of the day with her. You will be lucky to book with her! "

"We had a wonderful few hours eating our way around the streets of central Cairo with Youssef. Youssef is a very personable and knowledgeable guide who was able to introduce us to many sensational Egyptian dishes. His passion for food is obvious and we shared chats, stories of family and culture and laughter over delicious food."

"Mohamed did a great job explaining the history of all the sites. And the best part was he knew the best spots for awesome pics. Thanks, Mohamed!"
