Had a great time on our afternoon at the market. Our guide was so pleasant and friendly, she made the whole afternoon very enjoyable. After a tour of two mosques, including a visit to the top of a minaret with great views over the city, we wandered through streets around the market with the locals before focusing on the market itself, where she helped us haggle with the vendors to buy items and souvenirs. Feel like we got a great sense of the market area for our time and money.
Nadine was a wonderful guide. I was visiting Cairo and booked a walking tour with her. Despite other participants not turning up, Nadine took me along to visit all the places I must - through the Bazaar and over minarets. Moreover, she patiently answered all my queries and assisted me pick souvenirs at a local shop. I had an absolutely fantastic experience and would definitely go with Nadine on the food tour next time I visit!
The tour was amazing! we really liked it! Nadine and her husband showed us everything and some hidden places. You can ask then everything about egyptian culture and they explain it to you. I would totally recommend this tour and would do it again! Thanj you guys!
Thank you Nadine! Thank you Rami! Great afternoon walking Cairo and learning about the city, the people and history of the country. They made the tour an excelente experience, with good information and a beatiful vibe. Enjoying and learning!
Nice tour, Nadine and Rami are really Kind and caring. Not too much about historical facts but a lot about egyptian culture, very interessting
The cultural walking tour was great. Our guide immersed us in the history and traditions of the place with a lot of passion and knowledge. Highly recommended!
Nadine and Rami were fun, informative, and took us to great places. I loved how they organized the day to maximize the amount of information we get. They made sure to answer every question, provided tips about other things to do, where to eat, best places to shop. They also pointed the best places to take photos. The tour was memorable.
I loved how warm the Foodprint fam made me feel. It was exciting, interesting and tasty! I felt safe and as if I‘m walking with friends I haven‘t seen in a while. Def recommend it! It‘s always interesting to roam around the streets of a city, but Cairo can be overwhelming to explore on your own. I‘m super glad I found the Foodprint humans, as they made me feel safe, excited and adventurous!
The tour was simply amazing. I'm 54 years old living in Egypt and abroad for several years and felt like this's the 1st time I see old Cairo. I strongly recommend it
This walking tour was truly an extraordinary experience, largely due to the incredible guides. Their vast knowledge, storytelling, and genuine passion for the locale brought every corner and landmark to life. They made what might have been just a regular walk into a memorable adventure. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see the city through a different lens!
