Amazing food tour - RECOMMEND - Starting our Marrakech adventure with this tour was a brilliant decision, we couldn't be happier. It provided us with a perfect introduction to the city while allowing us to connect with local vendors and chefs. Issam, our fantastic guide, led us to some hidden gems and treated us to a diverse array of Moroccan delicacies. His openness and deep knowledge about the city made the experience even more enriching, and his recommendations for other tours were spot on. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour, especially with Issam as your guide!

Awesome Food Tour - What an amazing experience! Issam proved to be an exceptional guide, blending knowledge with humor seamlessly. Exploring the Medina through this food tour was enlightening; it provided a deeper understanding of Moroccan cuisine. Be sure to arrive hungry as there's an abundance of food to enjoy. The tour not only showcased the diversity of Moroccan cuisine but also led us to hidden corners of the Medina we wouldn't have discovered otherwise. In our opinion, it's a must do in Marrakech. We sampled dishes we wouldn't have known about otherwise truly an eye-opening culinary journey.
