I’m a foodie. I like to try good, honest local foods. Nasreen took my friend and I for the best local foods ever. Nary a foreigner to be seen, but us. I highly recommend Nasreen for her knowledge and willingness to cater to our preferences. A charming and delightful woman, who becomes your best friend in 10 minutes! I strongly recommend Nasreen. Nasreen rocks!

Had a great tour of local Cairo restaurants with Mido. Food was delicious and the staff in the restaurants were really welcoming. Mido introduced us to local dishes for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I would recommend a wider variety of restaurants to truly get a flavour for all local dishes. Mido was a great host and very knowledgeable of the history and areas we visited. I would recommend the tour and Mido as a great host. Thank you ❤️10 Tastings of Cairo

We recently returned from a wonderful bespoke holiday in Egypt with many highlights, from living like a king for two days at the Al Moudira Hotel in Luxor, to 5 days cruising the Nile in total privacy on the Dahabeya Aqua, to 2 blissful nights in the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan. We topped it off with three nights at the brand new Giza Palace Hotel and Spa. All fantastic.
But what made the end of our trip really special was the two days we spent with Nesreen exploring the pyramids, temples and tombs of Saqqara and Giza, and old Cairo, street food included. Nesreen makes Cairo come alive, transferring a regular tourist trip into a deep dive into Egypt's and Cairo's rich and fascinating history. Her warm and fun personality certainly adds to the experience, as does her deep knowledge of both Egyptian ancient and modern society. We wish we would have had more days to explore Both Cairo and the region with Nesreen as our guide, and when (not if) we visit Cairo again, Nesreen will be the first person to call! Thank you, Nana!!!
Warm regards from Marcus, Mariangels and Dylan (listening to Amr Diab's new album right now!).Two blissful days with Nesreen!!

We had a great time on our food tour with Mohamed! We had a large group, ranging in ages from 10 - 70 and everyone enjoyed it. Mohamed truly went above and beyond! We had booked the tour on an Egyptian national holiday and one of the restaurants was going to be closed, so Mohamed offered to meet us there the night before for no extra charge. He ordered us all the best options and showed us around the restaurant, only to take us back out to complete the tour the following night. We would highly recommend this tour and Mohamed as a guide!Cairo food tour

We went on the food tour in Cairo just before starting a Nile cruise. Mohammed was a great guide…puntual at picking us up at our hotel, and a joy to be with. We visited 3 separate establishments to taste a variety of foods, including Koshary, Hawishi, Kofta and more. His contacts where we ate gave great explanations and offered us much information.
Would definitely recommend. It lasted 3 hours from start to finish. Our only complaint was that there was too much food!Wonderful experience!

Wow, what a truly wonderful day in old Cairo with Nesreen Elnagger ( Nana )
We can’t thank Nana enough for this amazing experience which should not be missed if visiting Cairo. Not only did we see many of the ancient sights along with the day to day activities going on within old Cairo but we also learned so much about the stories and history behind what we saw as well as the culture. Nana was so knowledgeable and professional throughout and has many other tours in the region too.
The only possible negative was that we had to say goodbye to our friend Nana …. Until next time Food tasting tour of old Cairo

We always look for an "on the ground" experience and for us, the afternoon with Mohamed was one of the best experiences we had on our entire trip. He made us feel very welcome in his city. An absolute "recommend"!The Experience

Nesreen is a delight. She’s smart, funny, open, warm, articulate, ans exceptionally knowledgeable. She goes out of her way to make sure you are well cared for and having the experience you want. We laughed all day, punctuated by really interesting conversations about history and life as an Egyptian. I particularly enjoyed her perspective and experience as an educated and independent Egyptian woman. She is approachable and kind, and you will have a terrific experience with her as your tour guide!

Nesreen was an absolutely wonderful guide. She is so warm and fun, she made us feel very welcome. She did everything to make us comfortable and adjust the pace based on our needs. She brings a big heart, a unique perspective, and a great insight into the culture that we didn’t have with other guides. She was honest, generous, and compassionate. She helped us navigate a busy market and taught us how to interact with the venders while shopping there. We loved going to a mosque with her since she brought an authentic perspective into the religious culture and rituals which we really enjoyed since it allowed us to pull back the curtain a bit on Islamic practices.
We highly recommend her! She was so much more authentic and fun than a traditional guide Amazing Introduction to Cairo

Excellent tour, Nesreen has excellent English and is detailed in her knowledge of Cairo its history, religions, politics, traditions and practices. For us she filled in a lot of the intricate background to the souks buildings, their functions and artisan trades; pointing out areas and things we would never spot and talking to traders we would not approach. Everything Cairo (and probably Egyptian) she understands and can convey this simply and with enthusiasm and fun.Great tour

With less than 24hrs notice with extremely fast responses from Mohamed I was able to book a fully customised tour afternoon/evening tour of Cairo. In a few messages Mohamed was able to gauge what I wanted to do, suggest a plan and get everything confirmed.
He offered to collect me from my flight and drop me back to my hotel later that evening removing any stress from my arrival and leaving me to relax and look forward to the tour.
We visited Koshari Abu Tarekand had the legendary Koshari dish, a not to be missed experience. Then on to a walk through the markets of the old town starting at the victory gate - complete with a glass of sugar cane juice, and ended the evening with tickets to see Mazaher, one of the rare ensembles in which women play a leading role. The musicians of Mazaher are among the last remaining Zar practitioners in Egypt and this event that happens every Wednesday was sold out but thanks to Mohamed’s negotiating skills we were able to gain access. I felt very privileged to see such an uplifting performance.
This was a last minute trip, I hadn’t had chance to research what was important to see and do and Mohamed managed to fill the time we had together with just the right experiences. He even managed to fit in a stop to get a phone charger and exchange some cash - two things that were causing me stress on arrival.
Great to see a young guy with passion about his country eager to ensure visitors have the best experience during their visit. Keen to learn what he can do to improve his guiding skills through feedback I would highly recommend choosing Mohamed for a tour.

Mohamed was absolutely wonderful. We booked his tasting tour for our first day in Egypt (actually our first six hours) while waiting to join a tour group. So glad we did. He took us to places we would never have gone. I’m still thinking about the kushary!! When we finally met up with our tour guide, she was impressed with where we had eaten. Mohamed himself could not have been nicer especially putting up with all the questions we had. I would definitely recommend Mohamed’s tour. Thank you Mohamed! 10 out of 10!!Fantastic introduction to Egypt

We had a wonderful time with Moustafa. He is a lovely person and extremely knowledgable. He customized our trip and was very aware of our pace and level of adventurous spirit. For us, it was a whirlwind of activity and we loved every minute. I would not say this was a “food tour”, but rather a complete experience of local culture. Highly recommend Moustafa!

Mohamed picked us up in his personal car and took us to five different locations. He provided us with a range of different meals, sweet, savoury and drinks. His English was excellent and two days on we are pleased to report that we did not get sick from any of the locations he took us to. Particularly he provided lots of extra information about how schools, tax and other interesting facts about Egypt. We would highly recommend booking a tour with him.A great experience

Mostafa's knowledge of Cario's culture, food and history made this tour the perfect way to experience the city. He took us to places that we would never have found by ourselves and made us feel as if we were just spending time with a local friend and we also felt totally safe and comfortable the whole time.
He was able to not only explain the food and Cairo as it is today, but also is extremely knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, given that he is also an Egyptologyst. I will definitely be checking out his other tours the next time I visit Cairo.
So glad we found him and I cannot recommend him enough as your guide when you visit Egypt.
Perfect way to experience Cairo.

Nana is a wonderful guide - a warm, empathetic and joyful person who made me feel instantly at ease. I am a woman and was travelling solo; she took great care to keep me safe during drop-offs and pickups, and allowed me to see a side of Cairo I would have been unable to access either alone or through a standard tour company. We attended a concert under moonlight at the Citadel, and wound our way through backstreets visiting local restaurants, mosques and brass-making workshops. It was brilliant. I truly cannot recommend her highly enough! A magical experience

Ahmed is very nice and knowledgeable however compared to other food tours I have done before it was a let down. It was more of a downtown walking tour with Egyptian dinner rather then Food tour. I am not sure it’s a good value for money unless you are in a bigger group. 8 dishes were tasted all vegetarian. Good experience

Our food tour with Ahmed was our last activity after 18 days of touring around Egypt. This was also our first day in Center Cairo and that alone was a particularly hectic tour.
And yes he definitely knows the places where the food is really good.
First we had coffee in a quiet shady street with locals and then walked to the first restaurant where we went to try various dishes. Certainly the moussaka, which we had also eaten in other places and a sauce with tahini were delicious. Soft yet full of flavor.
Then we continued on through the city towards the bazaar, mainly to admire the huge array of spices.
Then our walking tour continued to the next restaurant which specializes in making Koshary. A kind of national dish of Egypt. we did not know it yet and yes its variation in basic ingredients made it a nice choice. The restaurant specialized in making this dish and all 5 floors were full. Was an experience in itself
All in all an interesting tour that certainly expanded our view of Egyptian cuisine.
Ahmed is a very friendly guide who speaks good English. But what on the one hand is his strength; a great willingness to serve and always willing to change the program if he suspects that you like something else as well is perhaps sometimes his weakness. It is a trait peculiar to Egyptians and what makes them very pleasant tour guides.
But sometimes, in my opinion, it is nicer to have a clear program and stick to it and not give your guests too many choices.
Should we come back to Cairo again we will definitely use his service again. Foodtour with Ahmed

We had a lovely time spending the evening with Ahmed. Ahmed was immediately responsive to our request for his service and very willing to tailor an experience to our family’s need, as we have two young children. We ran into typical issues with traffic, and although they eroded our time, Ahmed was calm and engaged us in figuring out the best solution and a plan that worked best for us. He was kind, patient, flexible and wonderful with our children. We felt comfortable and relaxed being with him, unlike several of the other guides we have spent time with in Egypt. It was our pleasure to explore Egyptian food and the market with Ahmed and we recommend his services. Tailored food and market tour in Cairo

We had a wonderful and highly enriching experience with Maga. My wife is vision impaired, and Maga was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and responsive to my wife's needs. His knowledge and insights took us back through the history of this must-see historical landmark giving another dimension to our experience. In short, his enthusiasm for archaeology and his love of sharing this made all the difference. I cannot recommend more highly Maga as a tour guide.God of all guides

Everything, we asked for and heaps more.
The day was filled with all the sites of Cairo and it was hard to believe that it could be done. Our tour was a family tour for about 12 hours as we had a 12 hour layover in Cairo.
Everything, happened smoothly and in a relaxed way which is also amazing for Cairo. In all of the hustle and bustle Naira helped with everything including making sure we paid the right price for a souvenirs.
Her personalized touches including food venues and our Nile river cruise made it even more exciting.

We spent a fascinating half day exploring the Egyptian Museum with Maga.
As an archaeologist, Maga brings great insight into the history of Egypt and it's pharoahs. However, if you only want to see and hear the usual stories, Maga probably isn't the first choice.
He had taken on board what we were interested in and did his best to show us everything we wanted to see.
He showed us many fascinating, and often overlooked, key exhibits, as well as the unmissable ones such as Tutankhamen.
We had made the mistake of booking a Friday afternoon, so our time was limited.
Would happily use again.Great afternoon at the Egyptian Museum

Thank you for Maga for taking us around the Pyramids of Giza, Dahshur (Bent Pyramid), and Saqqara! It was wonderful hearing about the pyramids through an academic perspective - Maga is an archaeologist who has worked on the pyramids and has a PhD degree (working on a second one)! We learned so much today and he answered all of our questions as best as he could. The Giza pyramids were grand, Bent Pyramid was a workout (although worth going to), and Saqqara had beautiful mastabas! He also had amazing food recommendations for us around town and the car was super comfortable. Highly recommended!Learned so much about the pyramids!

Mohammed is a wonderful guide and storyteller of ancient Egypt. He is, first of all, a professional archaeologist, which is why his excursions are special and go through the main places, but not along standard tourist paths. He will tell and show you amazing things of ancient Egypt, culture and art. Personal qualities: decent, responsible, punctual, speaks Russian well. First of all, I recommend him to the professional community of archaeology, there will be a good exchange of experience. Thank you very much, we will remember these 2 days of excursion forever!Wonderful guide

From the communication prior to our arrival, your friendly welcome when we met, your wonderful knowledge of Egyptian history and local life, we loved drinking it all in with you as our guide!
Nana went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, we are so grateful for all the extra bits she arranged that made it just right for us, the transportation, the wee camel ride (photos we will treasure) and finding us endless toilet stops 😂
Anyone going to Cairo needs Nana... We were just fizzing after our tour!

If you are looking for a knowledgable, friendly, fascinating and lovely guide in Cairo - look no further. Nana truly is a guide of all guides. We went with her to the pyramids (she picked us up and organised a taxi for the rest of the group) and she took us to quieter spots and great photo opportunity moments.. The next day we booked her for the Egyptian Museum as she knew exactly how to pace it.. She was super interesting, patient, caring and kept our 4 kids (from teenagers to older) fascinated! I would say pls pls book her as you won’t be disappointed ! (If you can get her !) The amazing Nesreen (Nana)

Moustafa was truly the best guide I've ever had. He went above and beyond, starting with a phone call in which we discussed my interests and what I wanted to get out of the tour. He customized our say based on my interests, and confirmed our meeting point. While on the tour, he made himself available to answer any question I had - I am a curious person, I asked a lot, he didn't hesitate to answer. He's incredibly articulate, can get deep into the history (if you're interested), and share insights into how what society was like in different periods of time and how things have evolved to where we are today. He opened my eyes into seeing the world from a different perspective - I'm incredibly grateful. Safety was a top priority, he ensured I was safe and felt comfortable. He was always looking out for me as I negotiated in the market. I felt like I made a friend at the end of the tour.
I did this tour solo while my friends were working - They all regret not joining me. 10/10 would go on another tour with Moustafa when I return to Egypt. The best way to visit Cairo!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Maga as our tour guide during our visit to Egypt, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Maga took us on a breathtaking journey through the iconic Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum, bringing history to life with his incredible knowledge and passion for Ancient Egypt.
What sets Maga apart is his deep expertise as a professional archaeologist. He’s not just a guide – he’s someone who has dedicated his life to uncovering and understanding Egypt's rich history. He shared fascinating insights and stories that went far beyond the standard tourist information, making every moment of the tour both educational and captivating.
Maga is also a rare gem in the world of guides. He didn’t waste time dragging us to unnecessary shopping stops, as so many others do. Instead, he focused entirely on delivering an authentic, high-quality experience filled with meaningful information and awe-inspiring sights.
What’s even more exciting is that Maga specializes in exploring lesser-known, even more fascinating places across Egypt. It’s clear we’ve only scratched the surface, and we’re already planning our next trip to discover more with him. If you’re passionate about history, archaeology, or simply want to experience Egypt through the eyes of someone who truly loves and respects its culture, Maga is the guide for you."Unveiling Ancient Egypt: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey with the Incredible Maga!"

Mohamed Awad is a font of knowledge who left no question unanswered.
He is thoughtful, insightful and we loved his company during our visit of the pyramids and GEM.
We cannot recommend him highly enough.Thank you

We were in Cairo at the end of February 2021. We ordered 4 days of excursions for 6 people from Mohammed (Magamed). From the very beginning, we liked the guide's attitude to organizing excursions. We agreed on everything via WhatsApp, he responded as quickly and clearly as possible. Good, understandable Russian. For the six of us, we were provided with a minibus with a separate driver and a security guard from the tourist police (according to the laws of the country, groups of more than 5 people must be accompanied by security). Mohammed himself was our guide for two days out of four. This was the day when we saw the Cairo Museum and the Pyramids of Giza and the day with the pyramids of Dahshur and Saqqara. Magnificent excursions, conducted with soul, a lively, professional story from an archaeologist specialist. You can feel the love for his profession and the desire to convey this love to the listener. We learned a lot of things that you will not find in any guidebook, visited places that you would hardly get to if you visited on your own. Mohammed organized two other excursions (a sightseeing tour of Cairo with a visit to the camel market near Cairo and another excursion to Alexandria) with other guides, those who can show their hometown better, know every corner well. All the excursions were eventful. I also really liked the guide in Cairo, but compared to other guides, Mohammed is the best! In addition to his professional qualities, he is a very nice person, intelligent, calm, smiling. I can safely recommend Mohammed to everyone as an excellent guide and organizer. Maga, big greetings to you from our entire group, success in your work, more grateful tourists and all the best to you and your family.4 days not enough

When visiting Cairo, choose Maga as your guide! He is perfect for both: visiting Islamic Cairo and visiting the wonders of ancient Egypt. My teenage son and I spent two individually tailored days with him. He opened our eyes in fascinating and unexpected ways whereever we went. He knows it all, and he knows how to transfer his knowledge. Highly professional, very polite, and very accomodating to all one's need throughout the day. Maga is the best! Absolutely perfect!
