Exceptional Tour. Don’t miss it if you’re in Cairo. - This was the best tour I have ever been on. I can’t even recall all the beautiful food I tried. (Which I’m gutted about because it was all fantastic). However, the tour was absolutely made by mr Sameh who is the most hospitable host and best credit to his country. He has such a great vibe. I consider him my friends and hope that we cross paths again one day!

Most amazing Cairo experience - Must do while in Cairo. I had so much fun on this tour. Everything from the food, river boat dancing and tuk tuk ride was amazing. Sameh was the best(and most fun) tour guides I've ever had. I would go again if I had the time

Wonderful Experience - It was such a fun experience! Semeh made everyone feel very welcome and the night was full of surprises. We tried lots of different yummy Egyptian food. We had koshary, falafel, ice cream, fresh sugarcane juice and many more. I had to make sure I didn’t overeat so I could try everything. The Nike boat ride was a nice break in the middle and the tuktuk adventure was such a fun way to end the food tour. Only thing I’d suggest is adding pigeons.

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!!”
