City tour in Cairo

Christine_C, Mar 2025

Ahmoud K. gave a nice food tour to his favorite restaurant in the Cairo area. After that we drove around and saw different parts of the city and he explained about city life in Cairo

Very frightening experience

Liz_O, Mar 2024

This experience went from bad to worse. First, the driver called early in the morning to ask us to change the pickup time by 6 hours. We said no. Then he called us to ask if we could change the time by 3 hours. We said no, the time we paid for was for fit our plans and that we would have to cancel if he could not make the scheduled time. So he then agreed to pick us up at the scheduled time. At that point he asked us what we wanted to do! We said to follow the agenda stated on the tour site. Lots of driving, not air conditioned. Picked up the guide after 45 minutes of driving. Stopped for mango juice while sitting in the car. Stopped at a “medical oil, lotion, perfume store. Felt pressured to purchase by our guide and owner. Afraid of being abandoned. Then pointed out sites, lots of driving, then local lunch. Which was very good and more what we expected. Then a papyrus store where we refused to purchase anything. Our guide was not happy. Then more driving and we stopped for coffee. So again I said that we were not interested in shopping. Please just local food. But he insisted that we go to the cotton shop for “just 5 minutes”. I purchased a scarf because we really felt they would abandon us on the street. We then asked them to return us to our hotel. We tipped them because we knew they had our names, hotel, and phone numbers. Most frightening experience we have ever had. We even waited until we left Cairo before leaving this review, it was that bad.

Fun experience and good food

Brock_M, Jan 2024

The street food was delicious and filling, and your guide provided a great walking tour of the local neighborhood and bazaar.

Great, definitely recommended

Tom_H, May 2022

- Great Food (Falafel, Shawarma, Coffee, and Koshari) - Excellent Guide (impeccable English) DO NOT eat before the tour, we couldn't finish a single dish, but we also started at 9am, because it was our departure day. We got picked up on time, our guide waited in the hostels lobby. He asked us how we want to structure the tour and we decided to do one restaurant, coffee and then the other restaurant. The tour began with a trip to a restaurant that served Falafel and Shawarma (awesome taste). After that we took a tour of the market and settled in a coffee place. Finally we went to a Koshari place before getting back to the hostel. Our guide was a young English/Egyptology major and we had a really nice time with him.
