Must Do Tour - Real Cairo - The Downtown Food Tour is a must do experience in Cairo. We really experienced food that we would not have had the opportunity to. Our tour guide was exceptional and shared experiences of her own. One of the best things we did across all our travels.

Lulu is wonderful who made the whole experience even sweeter - Lulu was amazing! She's very friendly and very understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour a lot even though I don't eat much so it's best to go on an empty stomach. It's a little too much food. You do get to try exotic food so it's definitely worth a try when you're in Cairo. I had an incredible time with Lulu.

Must-Do Tour in Cairo - We had the tour with LuLu, she is super enthusiastic and tells you all there is to know about the amazing Egyptian food that you are trying. Additionally, I would like to stress that the communication with the organisers is very good, they respond quickly which makes it easy to book a tour and give clear instruction. After agreeing on a time and date we started with the tour. I think this was the best way for us to explore Downtown, walking through the streets and combining it with the most amazing food! Truly a 10 out of 10 experience, we went home with our bellies filled, some snacks for later and memories of an evening full of laughter. As a bonus LuLu made us a master in crossing the Egyptian busy streets, which is a must have skill when you are staying in Cairo. When you come to Cairo this tour should definitely be on your to-do list.

Very inspiring tour with good food - During the tour we learned a lot about food and culture in Egypt. Lulú is a funny and easygoing person. We had a fruit juice (by choice sugarcane, mango or coconut), Koshari, Falafel, Hawawshi, Foul, Sandwich with liver and sausage and for dessert a really nice flatbread filled with custard. Only critic point is the amount of food, it was a bit too much:)

Great experience - This is a great way to see a bit of Cairo through the eyes of a local and to taste some of the delicious food. My guide spoke excellent English and was very interesting when talking about Cairo and Egyptian food culture. She answered all of my questions and tailored the tour to my dietary needs. It was a great way to experience local cafes and understand the menus so I felt confident in restaurants on the rest of my trip. The food was delicious and there were lots of it so make sure you are hungry! The tour lasted about 2 hours and we walked around a small area of Downtown Cairo. I went on the morning tour but I think the evening tour would have been better because of the amount of food eaten
