Wonderful tour, excellent guide, fantastic authentic Marrakech food. - Would totally recommend!! Brahmin was an excellent guide and knowledgeable on all sorts of topics. Really easy going and friendly. A real confidence builder for us - we did the tour the day after we arrived. It helped us to get our bearings and we tried some of the excellent authentic foods of Marrakech.

An explosion of sensory delights. - Brahmin was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, passionate and explained in a very clear way the culture that was evident all around the square. Brahim made the tour an absolute pleasure and the food was brilliant. We would recommend him to anybody.

Amazing! - Thank you for a memorable tour! We had an amazing time trying the different cuisine and learning about Moroccan culture and the history behind each cuisine.
Highly recommended to do the food tour with Brahim at the start of your visit to Marrakesh!

So Good ! - Rethink Group Travel - I usually explore on my own but I would do this Intrepid urban experience any other time - so much fun and value! Navigating the medina can be daunting and challenging to pin the 'real' experience - our guide, Atika was fantastic, very engaging, approachable and knowledgeable. She made us feel really connected to the place, understanding the culture from the inside, losing the 'tourist' image. The food was absolutely delicious, we tried so many things across savory donuts, local soups, nuts, olives (like you've never had them), pastries, and closing to probably the best ever lamb 'mechoui' and tagine I've had. Pace was dynamic - never a dull or awkward moment yet we never felt rushed either. Beyond this though, the highlight was to mingle with the locals in all simplicity, the scattered insights and discussions with our guide - and that feeling to have gotten under the skin of the Marrakech culture. Definitely a must-try experience!

Great foods! Great tour! - My wife and I both loved our foodie tour. Our Guide Brahim Abouamou was super friendly and really knew his local knowledge.
We found that without this tour we would have missed certain hidden areas.
Thanks again.

Fabulous food and shopping tour... I ate some of EVERYTHING!!! - This is a must tour. I would recommend this as a first tour to take. We went in the evening to night and the temperature got very comfortable. Not only do you get a food tour, but it is also a souks tour and night food market tour. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Then after you take this tour, you can decide if you need a tour guide in the day moving forward. We did not, this tour set us freee to explore much cheaper.

Fantastic! - Amazing experience, Yousif our guide was fantastic!
Great value for the money, we had a whole evening discovering the souks and Medina, Yousif was very passionate about Marrakech and so friendly, was great to have him as we really got to interact with the locals and try their culinary delights. Food might not be to everyone’s taste but it’s worth a try. If you are going to Marrakech book this tour… you won’t get lost with your guide, as the medina is crazy busy.

Nice way to spend an evening - We tried some nice food and the guide was friendly and took the time to answer questions. We enjoyed it. It does work out expensive for what it is, but it’s nice having someone showing you around.
