Additional Information

Marrakech, as well as the rest of Morocco, is well-renowned for its vast array of superior food choices. This is due to a combination of favorable climate, organic vegetables, freshly ground spices, pure olive oil, and the culinary expertise of local families. My name is Hassan, a certified National Tour Guide, and I hold a deep affection for Moroccan cuisine. I’ve been cooking traditional Moroccan dishes since I was 10 years old. With over two decades in the tourism field, I am committed to providing only the highest quality of fresh cuisines. I genuinely care about my guests and prefer recommending only those restaurants I’ve personally checked out with my wife and two children. Let’s enjoy together as we explore local foods and cultural values.

Filled with amazing experiences - This was a superb VIP food tour with amazing insight on the Moroccan culture. The tour was lead by Mr. Ali who gave us an entire walk through of the various foods that are available. He also took us to the herbalism shop which gave us great insight on how and what herbs they offer for people. You also get to ask questions and buy from them which was great. To end the tour, the guide took us to this great restaurant where we were seated on the rooftop. This was also part of the amazing experience while we enjoyed some amazing Moroccan dishes. Highly recommend this tour with Mr. AlI.

Fun and Delicious Times in Jamaa el-Fna Square - Hassan is such a professional and knowledgeable guide. We had decided to book this tour after we had a great experience in our Private Souk Shopping tour with him. We like to taste different foods and we had chance to taste food that we cannot dare to eat alone. We experienced street foods that we have never ate, various local delicates like dried fruits, nuts, patisseries, olives and meats etc. It was not just the food, we also had the chance to interact with street performers in the square. After street food tastings we went to a moroccan restaurant that the food was traditionally cooked and delicious. Try not to eat too much before the tour and during the street food tasting because the dinner includes lots of dishes. We highly recommend this tour with Hassan to anyone.

Best foodie tour ever! - It was a fantastic tour! It gets a 5 from me in all categories I can think of: itinerary selection, choice and variety of shops, food selection, and my guide’s preparation, knowledge, attentiveness and care. I also enjoyed getting to know more about this remarkable country through the eyes of my Moroccan guide, as well as meeting very nice and cordial shop and restaurant owners and attendants. The many (many!) savory dishes and sweets I tried were all delicious, including the snail soup, to my own amazement. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

A taste of Marrakech - Hassan was extremely thoughtful and accommodating, ensuring that our experience was positive and inclusive of lots of historic information. We were a small group, two couples, and he made sure to give us a taste of every kind of food, dessert, and traditional dish that we could possibly think of. After traveling into the markets, we were taken to a restaurant where we ate on the rooftop and had a full spread of dishes. This tour is a great way to explore the great cultural food that Marrakech has to offer. I absolutely recommend.

Great food tour! - I went with 2 friends and my daughter. We had a wonderful experience with this tour. Started at the market to try various small snacks and ended at a rooftop restaurant for a huge dinner. There were MANY different foods offered to us and all delicious! I had the best lamb ever. We learned so much about the culture, the food and Ramadan. We happened to be there during Ramadan. The owner and staff at the restaurant were also very gracious. We had to take 2 taxis after to get back to our hotel and our guide rode in 1 with us which was very reassuring.

The best of Marrakech - My son and I recently went on a Private VIP Moroccan Food Tasting Tour and Dinner with Hassan, and it was a fantastic experience! From the moment we met, Hassan greeted us warmly and began introducing us to this vibrant city's different flavours. With his help, we sampled some of the classic dishes from Morocco, such as tajine, couscous and pastilla, along with delicious street food specialties like babbouche. All the dishes were prepared with fresh, local ingredients that genuinely brought out the unique flavours of Morocco. Hassan was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of Moroccan culture – from the spices used in their cuisine to the history behind each dish – making our experience much more enjoyable. His friendly demeanour only added to our great time as he guided us around Marrakesh's bustling markets, introducing us to vendors who gave us further insight into what makes this destination unique. Overall, our experience with Hassan was exceptional! He is an excellent guide, passionate about teaching others about Moroccan culture through its food. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an authentic dining experience in Marrakesh. My only recommendation would be that you do this on your first or second night in Marrakesh because it gives you such insight into the city and the people. Not only did we learn a lot about Moroccan cuisine, but it was an unforgettable cultural journey that left us with beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
