You need to book this food tour! - If you're considering a tour of the city, look no further and book this. Meddy, our tour guide, was as professional, friendly and knowledgeable as they come. He took us to places you would never see or find as a tourist. The evening was filled with laughs, information and amazing food!
This was an absolute highlight of our week in Marrakech and one we'll remember for ever.

So good 😋😋😋😋 - Discovery of this activity that I recommend to any tourist who wants to know Moroccan culture, here at the food level of a Moroccan lambda.
From breakfast to dessert, Mhedi our friendly guide made us discover 6 stops more enticing than each other.
I advise not to eat before, we did it at 5:30pm after eating at 2pm. Despite this, my 12- and 15-year-olds left nothing behind except the delicious pastries we brought back to the riad.
Go with your eyes closed and your stomach empty.
Really great 😋😋😋😋

Amazing experience - This tour was wonderful. We tried really delicious food in what felt like truly local spots. Mehdi and his assistant were extremely friendly and helpful. We had homemade food and went to some really interesting locations, and everyone on the tour was friendly and excited to be there. Overall, this was a great tour and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Amazing, one of the best things we did in Morocco - The tour was amazing.
We did out yesterday and had a wonderful and lovely group. Mehdi and his friend (I forgot the name…) were just amazing and got us so much and so delicious food.
They took us to their favorite spots where the locals eat and if we couldn’t finish or were full we could take some of the food with us.
It was such a nice experience and one of the best we did in Morocco.
I highly recommend it to everyone :)

Humanity is more than splendid - He was definitely competent as a guide in general and made our experience very enjoyable.
I am sure that every customer feels the same way so I will write here about the different thing.
My guide was Medhi. After his guide finished, my friend lost his phone nearby. Probably theft.
Just after that, I happened to meet Medhi on the road afterwards. Even though my guide's time was over, he gave us private support when I told him what happened. He brought us to the police station and accompanied us to the police station on our behalf. He even took care of the procedures to receive the phone as a representative at the public office in case Police found it after my friend's returning to Japan. The total time he spent with us personally, amongst other things, definitely exceeded 10 hours.
Nevertheless he took care of my friend from start to finish, he was not patronising.
During my stay in Morocco, I thought that Moroccans are kind people, but he was outstanding among them.
He was so kind to us without any merit at all that I wanted to thank him but I did not know how....
So anyway let me just write big thanks to him at least.
Thank you Medhi, your guides are the best, because your humanity is splendid!

The best hospitality I've ever had on a trip - He was very kind and spoke good English.
I'm not very good at English, but he was very fluent and patiently explained things to me so that I could understand, which was very helpful.
Actually, my smartphone was stolen after the tour, but when I contacted him, he put me through to the police without any compensation, and helped me search for it until late at night.
He didn't ask for a tip, and even when I tried to give him one, he said, "It's only natural to help a friend," and canceled his own plans afterwards.
(The search took more than 10 hours over two days.)
As a local guide, he is more reliable than the tour content.
He seems to have a friend who is a police officer, so the filing of the crime report and the communication of the situation were very smooth.
The hotel he runs, "Riad TaTam," is also very comfortable, and he is very considerate.
He arranged a place for me to stay when my plans were ruined by the theft.
Of course, the tour content was excellent, and the seafood bread he recommended was super delicious with a crispy crust and spicy filling.
The biggest benefit of this tour was that I was able to have a great experience, and connect with the most reliable people in Marrakech.

Highly recommended - Whenever I am in a new place and, if I can, I like to do a food tour. They are very often excellent experiences to sample the local cuisine and explore places you would not normally know, find or get to on your own. This tour was just what I had expected and it did not disappoint. It lasted almost 4 hours and it included 6 different dishes (so, pace yourself as you go along, otherwise, by the end, you will be too full to sample the last course, as I was!!). The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive and happy to answer all our questions. The food was yummy to say the least. I highly recommend this tour and thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

Great tour and delicious Moroccan food - We had a great time at this street food tour in Marrakech. Having little time in the city and wanting to taste a variety of typical local foods, both savoury and sweet, this tour was perfect! Mehdi is very knowledgeable, friendly and took great care of us. He knows where all the good places are, the food was delicious and we learned a lot about the Moroccan cuisine. Shukran Mehdi!!
