This was a fantatic food tour of Cairo. Abdu was so knowledgable and made it super essy and fun for our family. He also walked us through the market at night which was so interesting. I highly recommend! Abdu and this evening tour. And we’ve been on many food tours …..
We had an outstanding experience with Abdul. Great guy, very informative and went above and beyond. Took us to great places for great food and some extra places/time. Highly recommended. Hotel pickup and drop off an extra bonus. Shout out to the driver ( also named Abdul)
What a fabulous day with Abdul Rahman! We ate so many delicious things, and got a good walking tour of Cairo to boot. What I thought was particularly great was, unlike other food tours I’ve done, is that if he mentioned something special, or we spied something tasty, we stopped and ate it. He also made some unscheduled stops for things he thought we might like, such as a particularly important mosque, and was so knowledgeable about everything. He also was incredibly helpful in the bazaar when we wanted to make a purchase. I would absolutely seek him out again as I guide if we return to Cairo.
Our food/market tour was a very enjoyable day. Abdul is knowledgeable and a very enjoyable person to spend our day. The food including pigeon, sweets, the Egyptian national dish was all delicious. This tour added so much to our Cairo visit
Our tour guide Salma was great. She was very helpful. They picked and dropped us up from the hotel. We will use them again in the future.
Taking this food tour with Abdu is a must for any foodie!!! He is knowledgeable & kind, answers all questions, and is flexible with the types of food. We had a fantastic time!!! Remember not to eat before the tour: we were STUFFED to the brim with all the deliciousness of Egypt!
Tour guide Salma…… We had an amazing experience on our food tour! Our guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of energy. They didn’t just show us great places to eat, they told us the history and culture behind each dish, which made everything so much more meaningful. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and the balance between flavors, portions, and variety was perfect. What stood out most was how engaging and attentive our guide was. They made sure everyone felt included, answered every question with patience, and made the entire group feel like friends by the end of the tour. Their passion for food and local culture was contagious, and it turned the day into a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore amazing food while learning about the local community in a fun and authentic way. Our guide really made the day unforgettable!
Ishmal was very knowledgeable and provided us with a wide variety of options of foods to try. H was very adaptable and ensured we had a great experience.
