This Food Tour Turns into an Amazing Cultural Immersion - Excellent experience! After having done several walking tours in Athens and Rome, we were not sure what to expect in terms of Egyptian food, especially with an early pick up at 9:30am. We were greeted by Hala, whose energetic personality could simultaneously charge our cell phones, and driven in an air conditioned van to Giza Protectorate for a taste of Egyptian breakfast. The breakfast spread included shakshuka, eggs scrambled with a tomato sauce, crispy and delicious Egyptian falafel prepared with fava beans, as well as Fava brown beans, babaganoush, warm pita style bread, cucumber and yogurt sauce. Hala explained the cultural traditions around food as well as the basic cooking styles. This brunch was delicious but filling and needed time for digestion, so we were driven to an essential oils and spices vendor with government accreditation and production to ease our minds about quality. We experienced a surprising and welcome essential oils tour that included ancient Egyptian formulas and processes, such as blue lotus oil, white amber, etc. Additionally, some of the oils were blends and perfumes used culturally and therapeutically in Egypt. Following this interesting tour, we visited two additional vendors also accredited by the government: a papyrus and a cotton clothing vendor with their own mills. Both had very good quality items. We did find purchases in all three, which were unexpected but well worth the visit. Finally, we arrived the lunch location at 1:30 pm at a rooftop restaurant with a spectacular view of the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza. We could not believe our luck in having this central vantage point for our first experience of the one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and Hala loved sharing her pride and joy in her native Giza with us. The lunch included grilled chicken with grilled lamb and meat sausages, okra in tomato sauce, mixed zucchini and squash, warm pita bread, spicy grilled eggplant and a delicious assortment of sweet pastries for dessert. Had we not had to return to the hotel by 3 pm, we could have spent a full day in this tour! Hala could not possibly be more effusive and extroverted if she tried ---making our experience fun and ebullient!

Perfect Egypt Food Tour - Perfect tour to take before our G Adventures Best of Egypt trip. Our guide, Mo, picked us up at our hotel in the morning along with a skilled driver and photographer, Abdo. We enjoyed a day of excellent and authentic Egyptian food. We ate a giant breakfast at one location, coffee at another (I'm not a coffee drinker but I loved their coffee with milk and sugar), and then made our way to an out of this world roof top bar (I recommend the strawberry smoothie) with a view off the pyramids that will take your breath away. And that was only half the day! The rest of the day we enjoyed more food and learned much more about Egyptian culture. The guide was amazing. We always felt safe and not rushed and never pressured to make any purchases.

Great way to learn while eating your way through Giza - Outstanding tour with Mo (guide) and Hisam (driver). Mo is an Egyptologist and brought a depth of knowledge to the tour. Hisam was a master in navigating Giza traffic. The food stops were excellent, culminating in a lunch with a direct view of the Sphinx and pyramids. Highly recommended.

We did our Egypt tour with Egypt Royal Tours and they were great Sugar Queen our tour guide was awesome they really took care of - Awesome experience with our tour guide Sugar Queen we were able to try Koshery and camel it was great, the best time very knowledgeable of the areas we ate in

Amazing food tour of Cairo! - I definitely recommend this tour! It was a pleasure being with sugar queen, my tour guide who is very knowledgable and will take good care of you! As well as my driver Hytham who is wonderful. On this tour you will taste great local Egyptian food and will leave with a full stomach. You must try this tour whilst you're in Egypt!

Welcome to Egypt - Booked this trip last minute for my first full day in Egypt and it was amazing. My tour guide was Amira and the driver was Emad. They were punctual for pick up and drop off. The Egyptian breakfast taameya and ful was delicious. You make a stop for tea and learn about Egyptian papyrus making. You don’t go to Egypt and not have koshary.. sooo yummy! The kunafa for dessert was so good. The last stop for lunch at the rooftop of the Hayat hotel has an amazing view of the pyramids. Amira and Emad are the best, and they gave me a great welcome to Egypt. 5 star tour!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely midday tour - Personalized service, great food, customized to our interests. By car as walking is not quite possible in Cairo. The final stop is not to be missed!! Sugar Queen is the best!!

food and shopping tour with great view - Sugar Queen took us to several places near our hotel to eat and shop. We had falafel, koshari, baklava, and kebabs. The last place had the most amazing view imaginable!

Delicious Food, Nice AC Van, Friendly Guide! - Delicious local food, friendly and knowledgeable guide, Mohammad Boogie, Driver Aemn, and even photographer Abdul! Had the best Falafel, loved learning about other Egyptian food! We got to pick 2 “side quest” - we choose the spices and oils, where we learned a lot about both! Got some rare blue lotus to make some tea of! Looking forward to trying that! Also had camel for the 1st time! Quite the experience. Be sure to not plan anything promptly after your tour. 1.) It might be longer b/c of traffic, etc. and 2.) You will be full and might need to take a nap after! Lol

View of the pyramids of Giza on the roof of a nearby restaurant - The view of the pyramits of Giza on the roof of a restaurant where I had the lunch was amazing. The lunch was good, and also the breakfast we had before at another place.
