These was an amazing... - This was a great street food tour! Arrive hungry, there was so much food! Crepes, soup, olives, fruit, smoothies, kebabs, goat head (for those who want to participate), donuts, tea, and more! And not just sample sizes, you will be eating! It was fun to walk through the souks as well. I would highly recommend anyone take this tour on your first day in Marrakech to get yourself acquainted with the food and souks!

Great experience - Thank you Mehdi for a great tour! He was very friendly and showed us places we’d never have found on our own. It was well thought through with typical breakfast foods, lunch, snacks & dinner. Would recommend!

Excellent Marrakech Food Tour - We loved the food tour. Our guide was great. Easy to understand and careful to make sure everyone was with him when we moved around. The food was delicious with a good variety and more than anyone could eat. It was all very clean and none of us had any stomach problems afterward.

Tasty Marrakech - Our guide Meddy was professional and knowledgeable but super fun with lots of personality. He took to several locations to sample truly traditional Moroccan foods at places frequented by the locals rather than tourist traps. He was also very patient when I got lost due to faulty gps and was late to the meeting point.

Fun few hours with tasty treats - Great 2hrs trying lots of different things from 2 different flavours of the square pancakes, to Moroccan shakshukar, BBQ meats, smoothie and sweet treats. Meddy was informative about the foods and culture. Allowed us to taste and buy olives, look at lamb alley. Great way to try stuff you wouldn't normally and see different parts of the souk.

Good experience - just skip the Jemaa El-Fnaa square please! - We enjoyed our tour with our guide last night, as he introduced us to a range of Moroccan dishes we had not tried before and shared interesting cultural insights into life in Marrakech. However, at the start of the tour he had mentioned that food in the main square (Jemaa El-Fnaa) can be dodgy and gives people food poisoning, so we avoided it for most of the tour. On the tour he took us to several stalls to try food and drinks - saying he only takes tourists places he eats himself. Being wary, but trusting our guide we tried everything he bought out for us - which was fine until our last stall at the Jemaa El-Fnaa square. This result in a full day of holiday plans cancelled due to a nasty bout of food poisoning. Would not recommend going with such a reckless guide - if there’s a risk of food poisoning just leave it out!
