Take this tour!! - I highly recommend this tour!!! We saw the Cairo nightlife in addition to tasting amazing food that we never would’ve been able to order on our own. We took a break at one point to sit outside at a colorful cafe and drink traditional mint tea. Our guide was the nicest guy!!!

Very filling and fulfilling - Wonderful, very filling experience with Gehad in Cairo. The food was amazing and his commentary was excellent. We enjoyed every minute of our almost 4 hours of touring. We have NEVER brought home leftovers from a food tour before and it is very important to go there really hungry. I would highly recommend this tour!

I suspect that our guide... - I suspect that our guide was disappointed that we had been in Egypt for a week prior to this tour. However, we were still game & waited to try Koshary! This was made even better that our guide was a home cook as we are. Thanks again for being picky & for letting us drag you in circles after you stopped eating.

A memorable evening during Ramadan - We had a very memorable experience walking the back streets of Cairo. Our guide was very accomodating but we were disappointed on the lack of variety of food as advertised.
