Begin Cairo This Way! - SemSem was our host. He was kind and personable. And our overall assessment of the tour was that it was superb. Unfortunately, it came on the heels of a lonf pyramid day for us, so we weren't super thrilled. . Not his fault. The food was tasty and plentiful. Do come with an appetite, as you WILL be well fed. If I had to go back and remember the # of food stops, I'd say 8-10 including ice cream... plus 2 drink spots. Additionally, we were taken on a felucca ride on the Nile; that was lovely. We also finished the night racing around in a TukTuk... some might consider that dangerous. It was definitely and adrenaline hit. Good tour. Highly recommend.

Fun food tour - Sameh was our guide and what a hoot it was. We got to taste some amazing local foods, meet the staff and participate. Even included a felucca ride and tuk tuk. Sameh was a great host, funny and very entertaining.

Excellent food and even better company! - We had such a wonderful time exploring the Cairo food scene with Sameh! The food was plentiful and delicious. We got to try so many local places that we would have never found walking around on our own. The tour itself was very well organized - the walking portions were easy and safe, and the little extras like the felucca and tuktuk rides were special additions. Sameh was knowledgeable and so friendly. I even got to learn some Egyptian dance moves while letting the food in been stops settle. Definitely do this tour!! It was one of my favorite things in all of Cairo.

Totally Amazing! - Where do we even begin?! Our tour was the most fun we had our entire time in Egypt (four cities). Whilst listed as a food tour, this is so so much more with history, culture, and a million laughs thrown in. Sameh is totally hilarious, so knowledgeable, and the funniest man you’ll ever meet. His network around the city is undeniable and he has a beautiful relationship with everyone. I cannot wait to see him again one day.

Wonderful food tour in Cairo - This food tour in Cairo was wonderful! Sameh was a fantastic guide and took us to a variety of places allowing us to sample different foods. He was engaging and provided information and some behind the scenes on how the dishes were made. We also took a felucca boat ride as part of the experience. If you are looking for a great food tour, this is the one to take.

Great food tour and so much more - Wow an incredible few hours and a fabulous way to learn a little about Cairo and its culture and food. Our guide was amazing and packed so much into the time we had with him. The people of Cairo were amazing and made it memorable from traditional food (lots of it) unexpected boat ride and tuk tuks. Loads of fun and truly crazy at times navigating Cairo.

Authentic Egyptian food tour. - Mr.Sameh did a wonderful job! Great communication prior to meeting and was very prompt! Make sure you go hungry because the food portions are immense and delicious! I am sure my spelling will be incorrect but we started the tour with some sugar cane juice that gave us the sugar high we needed. Our next stop was for kosheri..a dish with pasta, rice and garbanzo beans that you too with crispy fried onions and add a tomato sauce. Followed that up with ice cream so creamy and smooth. Our next stop was to observe and have a small sample of shawarma meat, both chicken and beef. We took a tiny break from eating with a lovely boat ride where we learned some Egyptian dance moves. Next was the best Fallafel of your life, these are made from fava rather than garbanzo and hands down the best. Hiroshima sounds Japanese but it’s lamb meat spread on slices of round pita and then roasted until crispy..another delicious huge portion. It’s served with pickles and Tahini. We let that settle and then tasted tamarind juice and ended with a desert not to be forgotten called koumbula, a rice cake bottom topped with fruit and a cream topping! This tour will fill you up and later you will want more.
