Perfect food tour in Cairo - Thank you so much for such an incredible tour! Exploring Cairo with Nada was a highlight; her professional background brings such intellectual depth to the history of every monument. I loved discovering the hidden neighborhoods and authentic spots she shared. I definitely left with full stomach after all those delicious savory, salty and sweet treat. It was a truly generous and unforgettable feast!

Tasty Cairo by Night - We had the pleasure of joining Sama for the Cairo Night Food Tour. The tour was great with a great mix of sit down dishes as well as small bites and drinks on the way. We only visited small local businesses that we would never have found ourselves. If you are into food and adventure - just do it!

Immersive, Cultural and Tasty - My husband and I really enjoyed our food tour with Nada. She took us to a vibrant area that was full of life and locals and we got to see a side of Cairo we would never have experienced on our own. The tastings were great - tasty and authentically quotidian (not fancy, not dressed up for tourists) and all enjoyed in local hole-in-the-wall places amid the hustle and bustle of regular folks living their lives and running errands before Ramadan. Highlight was sitting out in the street on rickety chairs enjoying thick Egyptian coffee with grilled kofta and lamb. Nada was great at providing historical and cultural context during the tour and kept a good pace. She was especially invaluable in getting us a ride back to our hotel. We would highly recommend this tour. Best roving Egyptian dinner ever!!

Taste, taste and more taste. - If you are thinking about a food tour this is the one to take - The great start of fava bean falafel then onto koshary, molokheya soup, shish kebab and kofta broken up with other treats - pickles, cookies rice pudding, and hibiscus ... Nada made the whole area come alive ... she was the perfect host. She was able to relate the food to the history - a great 4 hours.

A Must-Do in Cairo! - The food tour was an amazing experience for me, with so many incredible flavors to try across a variety of restaurants. Every place I visited was welcoming, and everyone was very friendly. My guide, Nada, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable not only about the food but also about the history and culture behind it, which made the experience even more special. A great tour and definitely a must-do in Cairo.

Authentic Cairo food experience - We loved this experience and highly recommend it. Nada was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. You can tell that she is well known in the community which helped us access areas that tourists don’t know normally venture into. All the food choices were unique and delicious and we were positively stuffed towards the end (pace yourself!). If you are looking for a truly =authentic= experience this is it. Our only advice: do it early in your Cairo visit so you can benefit from the knowledge of the food and drink variety Egypt has to offer. Dirk, Vuyo and Karla

Fun trip through the locals' neighborhood - Food was good and we went to places I would never have tried on our own. We were definitely in a locals' neighborhood. I really appreciated that. Our guide, however, was completely unengaged. He got our food and then was either on his phone or talking with the people providing the food. There were just two of us and we finished way early. Partly because our guide walked so quickly that we had to run to keep up.
