Fab food tour - This was fab. My two boys, 18 and 14, love their food so this was the ultimate experience for them. Our guide Ali was excellent. Rather than the touristy main square, we tried local food in little out the way places. Perfect to do on our first night to get well orientated as well. Highly recommend

Great experience for solo female travelers - Youssef was an amazing tour guide. I got a little lost in the Medina and as a result was a few minutes late. He waited for me and was very understanding. the tour itself was great. Youssef was very knowledgeable about Moroccan history and culture. He took me to a few great places. The food was amazing. I left feeling full and satisfied. 10/10 experience. For reference I am a solo female traveler.

Yummy Marrakech food tour!!! - We booked a private Medina Food Tour and our guide’s name was Jihad. We met Jihad in the square. We started with onion stuffed msemen (crepe) and mint tea. Then went to a street stall to have Harira soup (tomato, chickpeas, lentils) and Maakouda (potato pancake) there were a lot of locals eating this one. We went to a restaurant and had veggie couscous and beef tangia this is our first tangia of the trip a clay urn covered with parchment paper and cooked in ashes/embers for hours. I was so full that I couldn’t eat much of the dinner. We got some sweet treats and then had this herbal tea from a stall. At every stop, Jihad explained the history of all of the foods that we ate, he was very knowledgeable and kind. The market was in full swing with live music when he left us, we chose to walk back to our hotel, but there are lots of taxis at the square to catch a ride home. I would highly recommend this tour, pace yourself as I started off by eating the entire crepe and didn’t have room for food at the end!!! If you are weary about eating street food, we were served only hot cooked food and the tour is cautious of our delicate North American stomachs!! Thank you, Jihad for a wonderful experience. I would recommend this tour!

Medina Food Tour and Tastings - Jihad was a fabulous guide and made a group of 5 ladies feel very comfortable exploring the Medina and the square after dark. We tried some delicious food and learnt a lot about the origins of the food and the culture surrounding it. Jihad was good for a laugh and easy to talk to. He was the perfect host!

Beware - booking cancelled for no reason - This company cancelled by booking on the week I was due to travel. The email just said my booking was cancelled with no reason and a refund would be issued. Despite an email chasing them I have still not received my refund. Very disappointing.
