I am always a bit nervous around free tours as I don’t mind paying for something quality. I was only in Cairo for a quick stopover and was tempted not to even leave the airport hotel. I am an experienced traveler but had heard stories about chaotic Cairo. I was a bit worried about being misled or fooled somehow. 5 minutes after spending time with Nadine and Rami I knew I as in good hands. They are so sweet and fun to be around. Nadie speaks so many languages it is really impressive. Rami was awesome too. Those two together have such a great sense of humor (and seem like a happy couple) you can tell they want you to see the real side of Cairo.
As for the food, they took us to see many staples of Egyptian food, Hawashi which I guess would be like an Egyptian burger? Koshari which is a national dish, hard to describe but no left overs for me!!!! Also finishing off with Kunafa which is a dessert, I don’t really like desserts much but as they say there is exception to every rule. This isn’t just a food tour, you are also hanging with a really cool Egyptian couple and I really enjoyed my time with them.
Being Canadian we of course tipped however you can tell by Nadine and Rami spirit she really wants to share Cairo. Highly recommend this, as I’m sure you’ll read in other reviews. Nadine is just that great!
