Awesome Experience! - Our guide Brahim met us and we were lucky enough to be the only 2 on the tour so had a private guide! He was very chatty with good English and explained some of the history of Marrakesh as well as the traditions and origins of the foods we tried and sharing some recipes. There was loads to eat and we were glad we arrived hungry, we also enjoyed some traditional mint tea. We both really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this, by going on the second day of our trip we got some top tips on what to try during the rest of our trip, we also got advice on how to haggle in the souks and the best / safest ways to navigate the footpaths and roads.

Excellent because to Tatika - Amazing - Tatika, the guide was so informative about women, clothing, culture, “rules / guidelines”, how to navigate in the Medina, the food, and so many small and large details. It was the first 24 hours in Marrakech and the subjects she shared, the food we tried was a connection through out my 17 days in Morocco. This was excellent - she was excellent.

Informative and friendly - Evening Marrakech: Gastronomic and
Market Tour Inside the Medina
We met our friendly guide Brahim and the British couple that were also on the tour. Brahim explained the tour for us and we began walking around the Medina, starting in the Jewish quarter where we got to taste tea and freshly baked doughnuts, not like any we have tasted before. Thin crust and soft in the middle. Next stop was to taste different olives, spiced, green and black. Even those on the tour who didn't like olives found some of these very good. Now our guide stopped by a sweet booth where he bought some dessert for us to have after the main dinner. The main dinner was a delicious slow cooked meat in a restaurant that was already closed, since they close when everything is sold out. Our guide had reserved this for us. The last food we had was a homemade soup served at a stall in the middle of the square by the sons of the woman who cooked it earlier. Before we said goodbye, we had a spiced hot drink similar to Gluck wine or a Christmas drink. Brahim told us a lot about the culture and cuisine in Morocco. We highly recommend Brahim and this tour.

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.
