With our guide Ahmed and his driver Waleed our visit to Cairo was like being entertained by friends. We were even taken out for lunch . We experienced the real Cairo, the real Egypt. Ahmed’s knowledge of Egyptian history was enlightening. For anyone who wants to feel like an Egyptian for a day I recommend Ahmed.Amazing

We had a fantastic city tour with Ahmed. He and his driver brought us to places off the beaten track that not many people would see otherwise. Ahmed is extremely knowledgable about Egypt and Egytpian history. I can highly recommend his tours and his services. Shukran. Amazing tour with an amazing guide

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

Meeting Ahmed was a real pleasure, his English was great, he was extremely knowledgeable, hospitable & took me to sights that I would never of seen had I been exploring on my own. I’d highly recommend Ahmed for anyone interested in history, and for those keen to see things that are off the beaten track in Cairo. An amazing day!

Ahmed took us to the most amazing places during Ramadan. It was fantastic to experience local Egyptians enjoying their cultural and religious customs. Ahmed was informative and flexible. Off the beaten track during Ramadan

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
