Excellent food tour even during Ramadan month - We liked the tour and the food. Ismail, our guide, was helpful and nice personality. He explained about every dish, as well as shared some good tips and information about Morocco traditions. The amount of food is more than enough. You will be full at the end of it. We were offered more food, in addition to what we've got, at every place So, come hungry. Before the tour had some doubts a bit as it is Ramadan month now. In reality it went very well, no problems because of the Ramadan month. We recommend this tour.

Highly recommended! - One of the best food tours I’ve ever been on! The guide was friendly, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He walked us through the main square and introduced us to a wide variety of delicious foods from traditional soups and fresh bread to desserts, drinks, and local Moroccan specialties you wouldn’t easily find on your own. Highly recommended!

Good Intro with small group and guide - Good introduction to Marrakesh the first night and good guide which was nice. The group was reasonable and small so it did not feel so touristy. Good local places that you probably wouldn't have thought of otherwise

Immersive food experience - If you’re booking a food tour in Marrakesh, Ismail is an incredible guide. Before the tour even began, I was a little anxious. My riad was tucked deep into the medina, and I was genuinely worried about getting lost trying to find the meeting point. The alleyways in Marrakesh are beautiful but can feel like a maze. Ismail was so reassuring from the start, quick to respond, clear with directions, and very patient. He immediately made me feel at ease. The food was excellent and thoughtfully curated. We started with a comforting traditional soup and worked our way through a variety of different dishes and flavors. It was not just one long meal in a single place. It felt like a journey through Moroccan cuisine. From savory street bites to more substantial dishes, and finally ending with sweet delights and tea, everything felt intentional. The pacing was perfect. It was not rushed and it was not dragging. There was just enough time to enjoy, talk, and digest between stops. One thing that really stood out was how knowledgeable he is. The conversations were just as memorable as the food. I learned so much about Morocco’s history, cultural influences, and how deeply food is tied to hospitality and daily life. I was grouped with a French family, three of them, which made for a nice dynamic, and Ismail navigated the group effortlessly. He speaks English extremely well, which made everything easy to understand and allowed for deeper conversations. Nothing felt lost in translation, and I never felt confused or left out of the discussion. At the end of the evening, he walked me all the way back to my riad because I had mentioned I was nervous about getting lost and about walking alone at night. He did not make a big deal of it. He just made sure I got back safely. That small gesture meant a lot. If you are looking for a food experience in Marrakesh that feels immersive, educational, and genuinely welcoming, this was exactly that.

Fab food tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable and generous. The food tour was organised into what local people might eat over a day in Ramadan. Very interesting.

The provider was unable to deliver the excursion - The excursion did not take place as the provider messaged us the day before to say he was unable to get bookings with his suppliers for the time of the tour, 11.30am, and asked if we can go in the evening but we already had a prior booking for the evening. So far a refund has not been processed.
