Experience the best of Cairo with Withlocals

"We had a great food tour in Cairo with Mohamed. Mohamed picked us up from our hotel and took us to a local place in Cairo for our first stop. This was amazing. The vibe was great...packed with locals ... and the food was fantastic. We then drove to another place for Kushari (Mohameds favourite) and then onto a juice bar and a place for a great dessert. We visited places we'd never have done on our own. Hightly recommended. Thank you Mohamed"

"We had a fantastic tour of the pyramids of Giza with Nesreen. The pyramids are awesome and Nesreen was a great guide full of fascinating knowledge and information. We all had a great time. Thank you Nesreen. "

"Moustafa was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He met us at the entrance gates of the great Pyramid with a smile and great energy. He inquired about our preferences and style and responded accordingly. My travel companion and I could not have been more pleased with EVERY aspect of our experience with Moustafa and our visit to one of the most incredible sites in the world. It was money VERY well spent and we are most appreciative."

"Nasreen was an excellent guide. Picked us up at the Fairmont. Loads of energy and knowledge with wonderful tidbits of info. We went to a market and side street with largest house (150 gorgeous rooms!) and a mosque tour. Her knowledge of history made it so interesting. She took many photos of us which unfortunately we did not download fast enough (within the hour) so did not receive. Our last stop she bought us a wonderful array of pastries to sample. A delicious ending! "

"Given the challenges of a multiple stop food tour at Iftar in Ramadan Youssef decided on a single spot with multiple selections at sunset. A great decision. After a filling and satisfying meal among the surreal Ramadan chaos we spent time visiting downtown Cairo, the bazaar and other sites. This young guide is engaging, knowledgeable and fun. This tour was an outstanding way to experience Cairo on our first day in Egypt."

"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! "
