Ellos tienen una energía increíble, muy amables, divertidos y prestos a resolver preguntas. Se preocupan porque disfrutes cada momento del tour y son muy profesionales. En cuánto a los lugares visitados, son muy autóctonos y te dejan conocer bastante bien una parte muy importante de la cultura egipcia. Mucho más que recomendado!!!

A great tour, highly recommended and you get to see authentic Egyptian spots that you normally wouldn’t see if you were doing the searching by yourself! Rami was easy to get on with and was fully of interesting insight and tips for my time in Cairo! Thanks again, would recommend to anyone!

Go on this tour ! Rami brings the traveler to sample cuisine in such authentic parts on the city, and has such a unique rapport with the restaurant operators, that it feels like being in an Anthony Bourdain “No Reservations” episode. Made my trip to Cairo unique :).

Wir haben mit Walaa die Foodtour durch Kairo gemacht. Sie war sehr bemüht auch Alternativen für Vegetarier zu finden. Wir haben uns durch viele authentische Restaurants/Imbisse durchprobiert und waren am Ende richtig satt :). Wir hätten uns an der ein oder anderen Stelle etwas mehr Hintergrund- Informationen gewünscht.
