Excellent & well done! - Nezha is a resident expert on the architecture, history and local foods. We had great street food tastings including fresh squeezed pomegranate juice, Oysters, harissa soup and bread. Then we went to a craft area and had the opportunity to purchase a beautiful hand carved frame. Then we went back to the fish market and choose what we would like for lunch. We took our calamari and shrimp, my choice, sea bass and sword fish steak, my husband’s choice, to a local restaurant were they prepared our lunch as requested. The lunch was so tasty and fresh, served with a selection of local salads. After our lunch in a busy area with live music we went to a coffee shop where we had coffee and dessert. Nezha was interesting, personable and full of stories. It was a great private tour. Should we return to Casa, we definitely would request her to be our expert guide once again. We highly recommend her for any of your tours with her personal touch. Thank you Nezha, with kindest regards & best wishes, Cathy & Iqbal

Great experience with Hasnaa - We had a terrific experience and a very fun tour with Hasnaa! She took us to multiple places, told us much of local history, and helped us have an amazing and authentic seafood lunch. We did some shopping with her afterward, and she gave us cookies. Highly recommended!

Delicious food tour, wonderful guide - Fantastic food tour of Casablanca! Our guide, Nezha, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and very generous with her time. She took us for a breakfast pastry, then a snack pastry, then a massive seafood lunch at the market where she had pre-selected all the seafood and the restaurant had prepared it, and finally to a local bazaar. The lunch was overwhelming and wonderful and our only regret was that we couldn't eat everything. Highly, highly recommend!

Walk the local food - I did this street food tour with Christine and Nezha (local guide) in the popular Habous quarter. I enjoyed it very much. It's a must for travellers who like to mingle among the local people and want to smell and taste their delicious food. It's a pleasure to walk with Christine and Nezha. They give valuable background information about the food one should try.

So much deliciousness! - Two friends and I signed up for this tour on our first day in Casablanca. Our guide Nezha was joined by Christine, the owner of the company, who came along to take photographs and experience the tour with us. We snacked on grilled bread with amlou (an addictive combination of ground almonds, argan oil and honey) and fresh juice, then a tour of some important civic buildings nearby. When we returned to the market, we explored it a bit, tried some fresh oysters, then went to a fish stall where Nezha selected a mind-boggling assortment of swordfish, salmon, calamari, sole, shrimp, fresh grilled sardines, The seafood was taken to a nearby restaurant where it was all cooked for us. This was accompanied by spring rolls made with minced seafood and vermicelli, Moroccan bread, tomato/onion salad, eggplant salad and lentils. It was an incredible feast and a great introduction to Moroccan life and cuisine. We enjoyed it immensely and would recommend it to anyone who likes food - lots and lots of delicious food!
