Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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"
"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!"
"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 "
"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 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."
"Nesreen was absolutely wonderful! She truly made our one day in Cairo the highlight of our entire week in Egypt. We reached out on very short notice, and we were so grateful for how accommodating and flexible she was to make the tour happen. Her deep knowledge of the city’s history, paired with her great sense of humor and genuine care for our experience, made the day unforgettable. In just one afternoon, she expertly guided us through Downtown, the Old City, and the City of the Dead. We were so pleased by how much we managed to see and learn in such a short amount of time! If you want a guide who is insightful, professional, and makes you feel completely taken care of, book with Nesreen!"
