Wonderful experience - We met up with friends to do this class. They were very professional, friendly and helpful. They met with us and directed us to location and also took us to the taxi place after. They explained everything as we went along….gave me some great tips and advice on where to buy spices. The tagine we made was fantastic and would definitely have confidence to make this at home. Nelia and Hamza were fantastic! Would definitely recommend 👏🏼

Turns out we’re great chefs! - We met up with friends who were also on holiday in Marrakech for a cooking class. We had a wonderful time in a gorgeous location with the fabulous Hamza teaching us how to make authentic tajine and mint tea. Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and the food we cooked was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

Delicious tagine in a beautiful setting - Fantastic afternoon learning to cook Tagine guided by Youssef. Only the two of us, but he shared his valuable time and experience with us and hopefully equipped us with the skills to replicate these dishes at home. We also learned about berber culture and mint tea making / ceremony, and the meal we cooked became our evening meal that day. Thanks also to Huda for making a beautiful variant for us to try. Highly recommend this trip and visit to this beautiful riad !

Fabulous food, venue and lesson - Fabulous cooking class which ended up being private for our group, due to other guests being a last minute no show.

The best cooking class in Marrakech! - This was our favourite experience during our visit to Marrakech! The class was perfectly organised from start to finish and gave us the best memories of our trip. Riad Nelia is beautiful and the staff are so welcoming and friendly, there was enough time to relax and we learnt so much about Moroccan tea and the traditional elements of Moroccan cooking. Youssef and the team explained everything so well and we didn’t feel rushed at all, the ingredients were prepared and cleaned ready for us to cook straight away. We all made an individual chicken tagine dish and enjoyed the final result eating together around the table which was really nice. Youssef is very knowledgeable and made sure we were well looked after, I cannot recommend this class enough! It is worth every penny!

A delicious way to learn about Moroccan culture - Really great way to learn about Moroccan cooking and culture! Youssef walked us through the spices and how to use them and we had a very pleasant set up on the rooftop of riad Nelia. We were just 5 people and all got to do our very own chicken tajine cooked on charcoal and then eat it. All in all it was informative, fun and delicious so would recommend a 100% !

Last day ruined: cooking class canceled, money taken, run by imbeciles - I booked this Moroccan cooking class on Viator for the last day of our vacation, and it turned into a complete disaster. At the last minute they tried to change the time on us or push it to the following day. Since it was our final day in Morocco, that was simply not possible. Instead of taking responsibility, they shuffled things around and left us with no class, no experience, and no real solution. They took our money and we got absolutely nothing in return. The way this place is run is disorganized, careless, and completely unprofessional. It honestly felt like the operation is run by imbeciles who have no respect for people’s time, schedules, or travel plans. If you want a reliable, professional experience in Morocco, book with someone else.
