A Nice Way to Feel Out Marrakech on Day 1 - This was an amazing experience! There wasn’t much to see but the Tour Guide was extremely professional and friendly !
Food at the Medina especially the Tanjia was the best!
Would recommend this for a first night to feel out Marrakech if you arrive early !

Taste of Morocco for a night - The tour Was really a very small group. Just me and the guide JIHAD!! It was quick and informative. So We had moroccan mint tea wirh local naan bread, sardine sandwich, local minestrone soup, kuskus, some desserts. Food in General Was bland for my personal taste. But Thats How they do it here. Interesting How the local moroccan desserts are reallu sweet, bees were ALL over the dessert shop. . Its good to have a tour Like this to sample ALL the little food that I wouldnt normally try on my own. Was expecting little portions, But Was more than full after the tour. Thanks for the wonderful food tour

Interesting food and history tour with a very knowledgeable guide - Jihad was a fantastic guide and we were so lucky to be the only people on the tour. He was very knowledgeable, interesting and we learnt a lot about the history of the food culture. The food was outstanding and very generous. We would highly recommend this to get a really good overview of what’s available

Walking tour review - Eating like locals with a great guide.
Respectful and full of interesting facts about Marrakesh.
Really recommend this, and walking to the Hotel de France was an immersive adventure for myself and adult daughter.
I’d do it again for sure

Bon Appétit, Moroccan Style - I had an excellent experience on a gastronomy tour tonight, guided by Jihad. It was a one-on-one tour, so Jihad tailored everything to my dietary needs. We tried a variety of traditional dishes, including some delicious Harira soup, spiced sardines, and a selection of local pastries. To top it off, Jihad helped me pick out fresh mint for a Moroccan green tea stop, which was a lovely touch. With some spare time at the end, he also assisted me in the markets and helped negotiate a taxi fare back to the hotel. Throughout the tour, the conversation was great, and the food was superb. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an authentic culinary experience with a personal touch!

Not quite the experience I'd hoped for. - This sounded like a great tour to attend - with the chance to taste lots of different foods around the Medina on offer, ending with dinner in Jemaa el Fna. The itinerary that was described when I booked it and the actual event I attended were completely different experiences. We did stop to try some food - doughnuts, mint tea, fruit juice, olives, Morrocan soup and tagine. However, each vendor seemed surprised we had arrived and wasn't ready for us, meaning a longer wait than we'd expected. The best part was the soup in Jemaa el Fna - eating in the square at night was quite special. That was followed by a rather disappointing meal in a cheap restaurant away from the square with some fairly tough meat in a tagine and bread rolls that were so tough you could barely break them. Our guide Hachim also decided to disappear while we were in the restaurant for ages on end. We gave up waiting for him to re-appear so just left.

Do Not Book this tour! - Worst Viator tour I've ever booked and I've been on many. Guide was not interested in Group, Arrived late and left early. No narrative on the walk. Two people had to share a tiny plate of bones that he called dinner. The soup was not hot and we all got ill from that. We missed a tour the following day because of it. We booked three tours with Viator on this trip and the other two were great. On the whole, was not as advertised and I'm going to ask for a refund.
