Highly recommend if you want to know more about Tangier - We start the class by shopping the meat and vegetables in the market with the tutor together. Then we went back to the home for the cooking. His wife was here to assist the class too. It’s a very nice, clean and safe place for the class. We talked about the daily life when we cook. Indeed, the tutor does have cooking backgrounds, and he can speak english very well. You can ask for some travel advice if you need, as the tutor was born in Tangier. He’s very local and familiar with all the local transportation and travel stuff. Everything is opened to discuss by your thoughts and requests. We highly recommended to join this class!!

Take the worry out of your visit to Tangier - We could not have asked for a better experience than the day trip to Cap Spartel and Cooking Class combo! Bilal arranged a car and driver to take us on a city tour, explained the itinerary for the day, listened to our interests and tailored the excursion to be exactly what we wanted - including a short camel ride at the beach (longer rides were also an option), and a visit to the caves with some good tourist time with the Berber musicians! Next stop for us was a walk through the Medina market to buy fresh vegetables and lemons for lunch, then a truly magical visit to his home to cook and enjoy Chicken Tagine with his family. Stuffed to the gills, he took us on a guided walk through the Medina to (among other sights!) visit the Berber Cooperatives and learn about the arts and crafts. We never felt rushed, and never felt pressured to buy anything or to take more expensive options. Bilal is an excellent communicator and one of the most friendly people we have encountered on our travels. If you are a looking for an authentic education in Moroccan History and Culture, and want to remove all the worry about setting up a day trip and exploring the Medina I would say look no further than Bilal. We will reach out to Bilal when traveling in Morocco in the future.

A true Tangier experience! - We had a full day with Bilal who gave us the most comprehensive tour of Tangier. He shared the history and highlights of some of Tangiers most iconic sites. For us, Bilal broke out our day into 3 sections. We first drove through town and visited Cap Spartel (gorgeous views) & Hercules Cave (fascinating!) We also stopped to ride camels on the beach! Afterward we headed to Bilal’s home to meet his lovely wife Sana who helped us prepare a traditional Moroccan meal: salad, bread, chicken tagine and mint tea. So delicious and need the recipe to try at home. Then we completed the day on foot through the Medina / Petit Socco & Grand Socco. Be prepared to have some spending money. You will stop into the market, a rug shop & pharmacy. The argan oil is fantastic - I asked Bilal to get me 2 more bottles. And yes we bought a rug- and it is the most beautiful “souvenir” from our trip. We also walked to the Kasbah and admired more spectacular views. All along the way, Bilal was so passionate about telling us details about the history, geography, food, architecture, nature, people and other fun facts! With this tour you will be totally immersed in the beauty, culture and hospitality of Tangier, Morocco. We had such a phenomenal day, we asked Bilal to take us to Akchour Falls & Chefchouen the next day! Highly recommend!

Fabulous Tangier experience - Bilal is a terrific tour guide. He speaks excellent English, is passionate, energetic and funny (difficult when it is not your native language). Our driving tour covered all the highlights of the city and we learned the history. The cooking class in his home with him and his wife was outstanding (and delicious). We prepared tangine and couscous - traditional Moroccan dishes and drank Moroccan "whiskey" (wonderful mint tea). Our tour finished with a walking tour of the old city - through the market and up to the Casbah. Our day tour with Bilal was the highlight of our trip! I highly recommend.

Amazing introduction to Tangier! - What an outstanding tour. Bilal and driver met us at the cruise port, provided a lovely driving tour of the city (personalized to our interests) then he welcomed us into his home and all together we (and his family) cooked a delicious meal. We could never have crafted this sort of experience on our own. Tour finished with a wonderful walking and shopping journey through the medina, again focused on our interests. He answered our questions and provided a warm welcome to his home city. Can't wait to come back!

An Authentic Tangier Experience - Bilal's professional, private tour and cooking class made our Tangier experience memorable and truly special! This tour exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Bilal gave us a seamless and informative tour and catered to our special requests. He and his wife made us feel truly welcome in their home and gave us an inisder's view of Moroccan culture. We prepared a traditonal tagine meal and enjoyed homemade treats and the iconic mint tea. The last part of our tour in the Medina shopping labyrinth was amazing! This authentic shopping experince learning about the Berbers, witnessing their close-knit community and their faith-based life showed Bilal's commitment to welcoming us. We highly recommend this extraordinary tour!

Authentic Moroccan Experience - What a wonderful time we had with Bilel and Sana and their delightful family! We felt so welcome in their home and really enjoyed learning to make authentic Moroccan dishes to eat. In addition to tangine, bread, and salad, they taught us how to make delicious Moroccan Whiskey (mint tea). We really appreciated being invited into their home and we highly recommend this experience. Bilel rearranged his schedule to accommodate us and communication with him was very easy on WhatsApp.
