The best Berber food tour ever - The tour was just the best Mohamed really cared that we had a good time . I found the way the morrocan’s made the tangier using pots put in ashes in a large public cellar which also heated the Hammond. Understanding a little more of the Berber culture was nice to know . All places were friendly and the guide was well known with a lovely friendly atmosphere . So nice to get off the main tourist route . Thankyou Mohamed from Debra Lis Hillary and Sam🙏💕

Perfect introduction to the medina and the food. Highly recommend for a first meal - Lhoussaine messaged me to see if we were OK to start our tour a little earlier. We were fine with that so set off to the main square to meet up. We met the rest of the group, Lhoussaine and colleague. A very friendly welcome. The tour took us to some real local spots with a varied, interesting and fun diversity of food. We learnt some history of the medina and visited some non-food places (e.g fire pit for a hammam). The guides checked we were all well fed and happy changing plans if required - for example I asked about the prickly pear cactus fruit being sold and we stopped to sample it. After a slightly shaky arrival in Marrakesh (got lost and fell for the ‘follow me I’ll show you the way scam!’) it was great to get my bearings and confidence back with a fun couple of hours on the street food tour. Afterwards we were able to relax and enjoy the delights of Marrakesh. Thanks again

A first to renew again - It was our first time in Marrakech. We had a very attentive and available guide. When you like to discover authentic flavors and wander through the heady smells of souks, share a friendly moment around the know-how of local restaurateurs, streetfood or traditional, Lhoussaine will bring you this pleasure. We recommend unreservedly and will contact him on our next visit as there is much to make us taste.

Marrakech Street Food (Literally) - Had a blast! We tried to eat everything, and almost succeeded 😄 sooo much food. Ismail was our guide, and he is the best. Hole in the Wall spots, local dishes, and chitchat. Hands down, the best street food tour we've been on. Jnaa el Fna can be a bit overwhelming, but Ismail navigated us through it [and halfway home] with grace 🙏 🍲 🍵 🍗 🤠

A great glimpse into real life! - Met in the main square by the guides and taken through the souks to where the locals eat, which was then followed by many rounds of delicious dishes. Guides were excellent, knowledgeable and guided the group deep into the back alleys/streets of the Medina.

Inspiring and Delicious!! - This tour was such a highlight of our experience in this city! Lhoussaine and Ishmael are excellent guides and excellent people; friendly and light hearted and thoughtful. The food was delicious, and we wouldn’t have found these spots without this tour. They were very good at gauging the group and accommodating food preferences/ fullness level and adding stops (plus lots of vegetarian options!). Can’t recommend this enough.

Awesome food adventure - Lhoussaine's food tour was excellent. He guided us through a wide range of basic and exotic dishes, sharing so much knowledge and background. Had plenty to eat depending on how brave we were 😂 Lhoussaine also shared so much about the medina and its history which was great. Many thanks

Excellent food tour in Marrakech’s Medina - This was a great dinner time experience, and we ate plenty of delicious and interesting food. Lhoussaine knows the food vendors well and which ones offer the best versions of each specialty. The mixed juice drink towards the end was a favorite—but everything was delicious. The tour really enriched our experience of the Medina and the souks. Highly recommend!

Great experience - Mohamed is an excellent tour guide. 10/10. We both had such a great time thanks to Mohamed. He made the experience fun and educational and he had lots of great stories. There was a wide range of food to try, great experience all round. Definitely do not eat anything before you do this tour - there is a lot of food to eat.
