You Must Do this Food Tour! - Spent a fantastic evening with Hicham tonight exploring the sights, sounds, and flavours of the Medina. We had a lot of fun navigating the narrow streets, busy hustle and bustle of the markets. We compared some of the food such as the pancakes, fried potato and sweets to Indian offerings; and I got to add Harissa hot sauce to everything :). Hicham took us a wonderful restaurant to enjoy delicious couscous and tagine. He is a pleasant, kind, patient and generous guide; I am so glad we got to spend time with him in this beautiful city. This is the best way to see the Medina.

Tasty tour with loads of history - Loved our tour with Mohammad. He is very knowledgeable about the Medina, and Moroccan history. We visited during Ramadan, and he kindly explained from a lot of different view points. The food stalls were excellent and so fun to see the variety of traditional foods. The dinner was excellent and included a variety of dishes, fish, chicken and beef.
The tour ended with tea, dessert and a view of the canal. Excellent day.

Great, memorable evening - Mohammed was great! Great variety visiting 8 stalls. Restaurant had great variety too with 3 tajine and 2 couscous dishes and lots of sides. Had been warned not to eat street food but ate it all with no problems! Finished evening with coffee by river and then he helped us get a cab! Mohamed was knowledgeable and easy to talk to about all sorts of things. Worth every dirham! Highly recommend.. What a lovely evening!!!

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!
