Wonderful food tour in Rabat - We had a fabulous food tour in Rabat with Hacham. We enjoyed sweet and savory morsels at half a dozen stops in Old Town and the medina, and then had a nice stroll in the Andalusian gardens before sitting down to a lovely lunch at Dar Medina. Best couscous and chicken tajine ever! We learned a lot about the history of Rabat, and appreciated that Hacham helped us understand more about the tenets of Islam, and the day-to-day lives of people in this area.

Absolutely Fabulousl Food Tour - The Rabat food tour was absolutely fabulous. Our guide, Mohammad, really loves his job and it shows. He was very interesting and made our food tour come alive. The places we visited were all very delicious and definitely reflected the taste of Rabat and Morocco. Who would ever walk down the street and decide to stop at a stall serving cow's head? If you don't try it you're missing out on something very delectable. The flavorful two course lunch featured local tagine and couscous dishes. One bit of advice...start this tour with an empty stomach and a large appetite.

Delivered on every count - We very much enjoyed our three hours or so with Mohammed: punctual start, friendly and knowledgable. Mohammed took us to a good spread of street stalls, trying some of the delicious treats we wouldn't have had the confidence to order otherwise - in particular the wonderful slow-steamed cow's head. Pleasantly surprised that the tour culminated in an excellent sit-down meal in a proper restaurant (albeit one that seemed geared to the tourist market), and ended with coffee and pastries on the quayside. Strongly recommended, and I think would work well with whatever your prior familiarity with Moroccan cuisine.

Fantastic tour - This was a fantastic introduction to Rabat and Morocco. Mohamed was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. A lot of delicious food, including street food and a sit down meal. Lots of waking through the medina and kasbah. Thoroughly recommended, but make sure come hungry!

Great food tour with Imane. - As we arrived 25 minutes late, our guide Imane, was there to greet us with a smile. Since no one else showed up, we had a private tour. We started off in the old market with some Moroccan soup which was excellent, then off to some dates, deserts and other goodies along the tour, all the while getting some history of the Medina. The tour was capped off with an excellent and overwhelming dinner that we could not finish. She also gave us some cookies to take with us, yummy. Come hungry. Great job.

This IS the Moroccan food tour of food tours. - We have the absolute pleasure of meeting Muhammad our tour guide, from the second he greeted us to the heartbeat we left as friends. It was nothing less than sensational, Muhammad walked us through places and robot that I couldn't even pinpoint however, the food was absolutely amazing. It never did. We feel unsafe or get sick. But his depth of knowledge of the Moroccan culture and his community is rich and deep, but one of the biggest impactful things for my wife and myself was watching the locals interact with Muhammad as if we were all family. Nothing but respect going both ways and smiles. Muhammad had everything under control new exactly what was going to work for all of us and is English is on point. It just was seamless. It was amazing.
