Fun afternoon in the market neighborhood of Old Cairo - Had a great time on our afternoon at the market. Our guide was so pleasant and friendly, she made the whole afternoon very enjoyable. After a tour of two mosques, including a visit to the top of a minaret with great views over the city, we wandered through streets around the market with the locals before focusing on the market itself, where she helped us haggle with the vendors to buy items and souvenirs. Feel like we got a great sense of the market area for our time and money.

Amazing guide! - Nadine was a wonderful guide. I was visiting Cairo and booked a walking tour with her. Despite other participants not turning up, Nadine took me along to visit all the places I must - through the Bazaar and over minarets. Moreover, she patiently answered all my queries and assisted me pick souvenirs at a local shop. I had an absolutely fantastic experience and would definitely go with Nadine on the food tour next time I visit!

Great vibes in old Cairo - Nadine and Rami were fun, informative, and took us to great places. I loved how they organized the day to maximize the amount of information we get. They made sure to answer every question, provided tips about other things to do, where to eat, best places to shop. They also pointed the best places to take photos. The tour was memorable.

Warm and Happy - I loved how warm the Foodprint fam made me feel. It was exciting, interesting and tasty! I felt safe and as if I‘m walking with friends I haven‘t seen in a while. Def recommend it! It‘s always interesting to roam around the streets of a city, but Cairo can be overwhelming to explore on your own. I‘m super glad I found the Foodprint humans, as they made me feel safe, excited and adventurous!
