A fantastic way to explore Marrakech and Morroccan cuisine - A very informative and well planned good tour that gave us an opportunity to try a range of Morroccan foods and delicacies whilst finding out about the history of this amazing cuisine. We visited a range of markets, shops, bakeries and food stores guided by Ahmed who was able to answer any questions to hand. What a great way to experience Marrakech!

A Great Experience 😃 - What a lovely person, Ahmed is so helpful and patient. having visited the souks in the past and gotten lost | said | better get a guide this time "especially since | was bringing my six and nine year old with us". From the very start Ahmed reorganised our trip so it would be earlier to avoid the excessive heat that is in Morocco at the moment.... he also helped with hotel transfers and guided us through the market vendors so we didn't get ripped off. Ahmed gave us a lots of information about the area including its early history.

Good experience! - Ahmed showed us a lot of Marrakech and we ate in places where we would otherwise never sit down ourselves. We ate delicious food everywhere and everything went relaxed. Definitely recommended.

The way to a family’s heart… - Ahmed - an official Marrakesh guide - introduced us to the city on our first full day… and we enjoyed his tour and his company so much we asked him to introduce us to the Marrakesh food scene a couple of evenings later! And the second tour was every bit as good as the first. Ahmed took us to the food stalls, street vendors, and local cafes you’d never know about, explained the meaning of the meals, and the traditions that surround each of them (with a little politics and culture thrown in). We loved it - and our young teenage kids said it was the highlight of their trip (and if that’s not high praise I don’t know what is!) A terrific experience not to be missed.
