Great Experience - fun, tasty and informative! - We had a wonderful time trying various local foods. Our guide was very friendly and accommodating to our group. We had an infant and a toddler, and he even helped with the stroller! We stopped at 6 or 7 different places, most of them small snacks, and the last stop was a full meal. By the end of the tour, it was nighttime and the Medina was full of music, dancing and energy! It was quite the sight. A very memorable experience!

Good Family Experience - Our tour started at the Post Office in the square where we were met by Mohamed. We were taken to a patisserie where we sampled a few of the local sweet delicacies. I felt quite full after our first stop. Second stop was in the square, it was still very hot so wasn't as comfortable as I'd liked to have been. On the whole a good tour and YaYa is very engaging, although I felt we could have been told a little more about some of the things we tasted. What kind of cheese is used, how breads have been made, how locals eat tagines, with bread, salads. Great tour for families as long as no fussy eaters.
I definitely recommend this tour but arrive hungry as you will soon be full!
thank you

Great Experience - This was an extremely fun and informative tour. Our guide Mohammad was fun, engaging and knowledgeable about the food. He tailored our tour on the fly, quickly adjusting our tour based off of our feedback. Our guide was more than gracious in showing us the right places to buy and took us deep in the Medina to the better vendors. We also stopped and ate at several shops and restaurants. All the food was great which ended at a tagine restaurant. We could not be happier with the experience.
