EXCELLENT FOOD AND WALKING TOUR! - This was our best day out of our entire cruise! My husband and I took this food tour as a shore excursion off of the Norwegian Viva cruise ship. We were docked in Casablanca for the day and thought this would be a great way to see the city in a smaller group setting versus taking a ship tour. We had shuttled to the city centre (First Nations Square) on a ship shuttle and then grabbed a taxi to the Imperial Cafe in Habous. We had time to have a coffee at the cafe before meeting our guide, Nezha across the street. There were only 3 other ladies that joined our tour, so we had a very personal tour with Nezha. We walked all throughout the many shopping, olive, and flour markets, with samples throughout, and a bag of date and nuts given to us for later. We toured a long-standing bakery and community oven and were given a bag of sweets to take with us as well. We really enjoyed touring the butcher where we chose different meats to eat for lunch, prepared for us in a nearby restaurant. The photos with the butchered camel were worth the whole tour and getting to sample the camel for lunch was a bonus! Lunch was absolutely delicious - lamb, beef, chicken and camel as well as a beautiful tagine and fresh mulberries. Nezha was a lovely guide, and she knew so much about the area as she had grown up there. She even helped us get a taxi back to the City Center at the end of our tour, for way less money than we had paid to get there. *We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour company and would not hesitant to use them again if we ever make it back to Casablanca.

Do this tour!!! You won’t regret it!!! - This was sooo fun and soo much good food. I was sooo stuffed after this tour thanks to Nezha. One of the best food tours I’ve had. We were taken to a famous bakery, spice market, local market, olive market (bought fresh olive oil and saffron) and an amazing grill where the wait staff were just the best. Nezha gave us so much history of Casablanca and Morocco, we randomly stopped by places on the path to our next tasting because she must be famous, she knew everyone :-). I would highly recommend this to anyone coming to Casablanca.

Delicious and informative - My mother and I were on Nezha's wonderful tour of the Habbous area of Casablanca. I expected a tasting menu throughout the city. But what I got was much more! Great history, a non-touristy area, and two meals! Come prepared to really eat and try some new things. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing food and culture tour or Casablanca - A must do for any foodie visiting Casablanca! Our guide, Nezha was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the city and its cuisine. The tour included several delicious food stops, and visits to the different markets. There's tons of food to be had, so skip breakfast. You won't leave hungry!

Moroccan street food tour - Great tour with Nezha. We learned about local customs as well as foods. Such an interesting part of the world. Never thought I would see a camel head in an open market! Would highly recommend.

Wonderful experience of local culture - Absolutely the highlight of our vacation! Our guide, Abdu, took us to a small fishing community just outside the city. We tasted raw oysters and clams that were huge and delicious. We selected some fish which Abdu took to one of the small restaurants to have cooked for us. Our seafood lunch was abundant and DELICIOUS. After lunch we went to Habous Market and walked through the butcher section. We had the opportunity to select some meat (camel, sheep, or beef) and have it barbequed for us. Abdu guided us through the market where fresh fruits, herbs, olives, nuts, and spices are sold. The colors and smells were amazing! This tour is a wonderful immersion in Casablanca local culture.
