My wife and I took this... - My wife and I took this food tour and it was great! Semsem is such an engaging host and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The food was amazing, especially the koshary, and there was no lack of it. It was all delicious. Definitely take this tour if you want to experience a bit of the real Cairo.

10/10 would recommend - Sameh is one of my favorite people I've met so far in Egypt. His energy and smile and laugh are contagious. This is way more than just a food tour. He really shows you all of the hot spots around Cairo. We had so much fun and really enjoyed all of the food.

Great intro to local food - Highly recommended this food tour with Sameh. It was a glimpse into the local Cairo food scene from koshary to shawarma to traditional Egyptian food plus various drinks and desserts. Prepared to go home with a full stomach. Sameh was a very entertaining guide.

A great tour with great guide .. loved the tuk tuk and Felucca boat ride on the Nile river - Sameh was our guid and he picked us up from our hotel where we started our walking tour . He was so friendly and we felt comfortable having him as our guide. He had a wealth of knowledge to share along the many stops we made. This is a great tour to see what life and food is all about in cairo !! A must do tour . We loved it !

Greatest tour ever with Semeh! - If we ate only at the hotels and tourist spots we would have never known how tasty Egyptian food can be. This street food tour included a lot of local foods, juices, fruits and desserts, tea on the Nile, and a thrilling experience riding a Tuk Tuk through Cairo at night. Koshry is a must have dish in Cairo. We ate small bites at a small restaurant that's been in business 130 years in a relatively deserted area that we would have never known existed. We walked the 24 hour street market. Semeh also danced the night away with us on the Nile boat ride. This wasn't just a food tour, it was a complete adventure.

“This is an amazing... - “This is an amazing tour!! I suggest everyone book it. Our host shared a wealth of knowledge about the history of Cairo while walking. But let’s talk about the food…. It was non-stop. One wonderful food/drink after another. Everything was prepared fantastically and the mouthwatering smells that preceded each meal made us want more. We were served so much food we went back to our hotel in a food coma. The taste of Cairo on our first day in Egypt was worth it!! Go on this tour!!”

Awesome experience - “Semsem was an amazing host for this experience. I was expecting just a tour walking around trying new food but it was much more than that. Semsem takes you around downtown Cairo, explains the history and takes you to different local favorite spots. We then went on a boat ride down the river enjoying tea and Egyptian music. We had so much food on this tour, so be sure to not over eat at the first place like we did 😂 Absolutely amazing, our favorite experience in Cairo. Thank you!!”

“This an amazing food... - “This an amazing food tour and one that I would recommend to anyone visiting Cairo. Semsem was wonderfully knowledgeable about all things in the city. I felt instantly comfortable with him because of his fun personality and easy going nature. This is a great way to get comfortable in Cairo and the best way to find great places to eat. If you want to get out of your hotel and experience more local restaurants, this tour is for you! I would definitely recommend this to anyone I knew visiting Egypt!”

Best of the best - “Semsem’s food tour was the perfect way to start our time in Cairo! Semsem’s enthusiasm is off the charts, and the food was absolutely delicious. I felt very safe as we walked around the city and sampled some incredible local cuisines. We even took a Tuk Tuk AND did a quick boat ride. This tour was well worth it. I’d recommend to anyone looking for a way to learn more about Cairo, taste amazing foods, and enjoy an evening with new friends.”
