food tour private tour from cairo or giza hotel

On this tour we experienced both: very touristic and not touristic activities. We started the food tour not being hungry (because the breakfast at our hotel was amazing and a bit late). So first, our guide took us around Egyptian sales points: paintings on papyrus, perfume, cosmetics, spices, clothes, and leather. It was interesting, and we could stay shorter and longer. Somewhere we could talk to people, which was interesting for us. Being between these spots and driving felt super unique for us because we could observe local street life. The food we tried was Egyptian fast&street food, and was very good! We liked it and discovered new tastes which is why we booked tour in the first place. I give our particular tour 4 stars because it wasn't like a private tour in Europe where if you a guide spends 3 hours with you, you normally talk a lot to them about local life. In this case our guide was more like a driver who didn't really speak English. Which technically is fine, because actually the option selected said 'driver& food', not 'guide&food'. Overall, the experience was positive and we thank the team and wish them further growth and development ????

This so-called food tour was an absolute scam, and I’m deeply disappointed with how we were treated. Having experienced pushy guides in Cairo before—where they force you into shops to buy overpriced goods—we made it crystal clear to our guide, that we were here for a food tour only. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. The “food tour” was a joke. Our guide spent most of the time on the phone with his manager, leaving us in the car while he went to buy food and brought it back for us to eat there. Out of the entire tour, we were only allowed to sit and eat at one actual restaurant. At one point, we were misled into thinking we were about to enjoy some hibiscus juice, only to find ourselves ambushed by aggressive salespeople. The worst part was the pressure to write a review. While still in the car, I was forced to write a glowing review on TripAdvisor at the insistence of our guides manager. I wrote a fake 4-star review because I was nervous about refusing, and I was harshly questioned as to why I didn’t give 5 stars. The tour operator bombarded me with up to 40 WhatsApp messages prior to the tour and persistent follow-ups on TripAdvisor that I still have to post my review. This was not a food tour—it was a humiliating and manipulative experience. Save yourself the disappointment and money and avoid this scam at all costs.
