Tagines braised for hours, preserved lemon by the wedge and ras el hanout in the couscous. Marrakech spice is aromatic, not hot.

What you can expect
Marrakech food tour - There's something so Indiana Jones about Marrakech; a terracotta labyrinthine of snake charmers and roasted mechoui, Arabic arguments and smoky Gauloises, the scent of ras el hanout and dusty Berber carpets wafting alongside the mosques' call to prayer and the silhouette of palm trees against the peachy evening sky.

“Fantastic food tour in Marrakesh. This is definitely worth doing. you will see things that you will not be able to see on your own. We had a group of 7. The food we tasted was great and some things you wouldn't normally taste on your own as you may not know what it was. This was a great way to see Marrakesh and get to know more about Morocco. Our guide Rashid was excellent, very friendly and funny.”

“Excellent food tour This was a great experience! The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the pace was nice. As expected, there was a lot of walking but usually not long distances as we kept stopping to try foods, sometimes standing for a quick stop and sometimes sitting for a longer time. Water was always available, and the foods were always included in the price of the tour. The guide always explained how the foods were made and how/when they are usually eaten locally. We tried 12-15 foods in about 10 stops, and ended on a rooftop overlooking the Jemaa el-Fnaa market and the Koutoubia Minaret. Overall a great experience, absolutely recommend!”

“Great way to explore the Medina Rachid was a great guide! His tour is well thought out and he goes the extra mile to take care of his guests. He will not try to upsell you on anything. He is funny and generous. A true professional who is also warm and friendly. I would highly recommend A Chef's Tour in Marrakech with Rachid as the guide.”

“Amazing experience! Do yourself a favour and start your time in Morocco with this food tour! We tried so many things we absolutely would not have otherwise and it was all delicious. We saw behind the curtains and got a feel for life in the Medina. Rashid was brilliant - perfect English, generous with his knowledge, and always ready with a serviette and hand sanitiser. Thank you!!”

“Fantastic tour, highly recommended! Our guide, Raschid, was amazing. He expertly led us through the souks, sharing a wealth of information about Moroccan culture, especially regarding food and its preparation. We would never have visited and tried so many of the stalls and restaurants without his recommendations; we simply wouldn't have dared. We would do it again in a heartbeat!”

“Amazing tour with lots of delicious stops! You couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable, friendly and funny guide. We had the best tour and learnt so much about Moroccan food and culture. There wasn’t a tagine or couscous in sight the tour is so much more than that. I will be recommending it to anyone who travels to Marrakesh!”

“Exceptional Experience WOW! What an afternoon with Rochid! We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Rochid on our first day in Marrakech. SOOOO many food stops, so much food.....and all really tasty too. Rochid made sure that everyone was well looked after, adults and kids alike. Even someone needed water, he would take care of that. If someone wanted more food, no problem. In addition. to the food, he was more than willing to share his knowledge of local customs and traditions and we all shared a great insight into life in Marrakech. I would thoughoughly recommend this tour and if you get Rochid as your tour guide, you are very lucky!”

“"it was an amazing tour. I wish every city I visit has tours like that. So many local specialties, along with ingredients and the methods of cooking!!! And places we went, we wouldn't be able to discover otherwise. And, it didn't feel rushed, wich I LOVED!!! Some places we checked and go, other places we sat chat and took out time. Coming from culinary background, this tour ABSOLUTELY didn't disappoint! If you are an adventurous food lover, this tour IS A MUST! And come prepared to challenge you level of adventurousness!"”

“Excellent tour to experience Marrakech We absolutely enjoyed this tour! Rashid is an excellent guide who is knowledgable and patient. We enjoyed all the food stops and learned so much about local food history, and the people who made them. The whole tour is about 4 hours however nicely paced with some sit down meals and rest. This was a highlight of our Marrakech visit, highly recommended!”

“Excellent tour - highly recommended We had a great time with this food tour where the tour guide took us to the local food hotspots and tasted a wide range of snacks to main meal. A bit more expensive than your normal food tours but well worth it. 14 days later and we still haven’t had a better Harira and Bagdrir”
