Full description

Start your tour in Mellah with an introduction to the history of the city's market. Take a stroll through the market where stalls groan under the weight of fresh fruit, meat, poultry, and vegetables. Watch artisans make a local pastry and get a glimpse of how locals haggle in the market. Start experiencing new flavors and enjoy tastings of local foods such as sweet pastries or the traditional charcoal-baked tagine. Ask your local guide about the different types of tagines and the secrets of cooking this traditional Moroccan dish.

Receive a local recipe as a unique souvenir for you to take home. Before moving to your next stop, refresh with a delicious almond drink that locals adore. Head to the souks and explore some of the side streets to discover food stops often missed by travelers. Marvel at the vendor's stalls and be amazed by the colors and flavors that you can find there. Try some of the wares on offer including juicy olives and sweet dates. 

Continue to the maze-like streets of the Medina and see how a méchoui maker prepares the roasted whole lamb or sheep in a pit oven. Visit a hidden restaurant to try even more delicious foods such as tangia and kofte served with freshly baked bread.

Take in the smells of saffron, cumin, and fresh herbs as you enjoy exotic flavors. Sample three different types of salads made from fresh local ingredients. Enjoy a magnificent view from the rooftop of a cozy cafe. End your tour in Moroccan style and sip a glass of mint tea together with a local.

Admire the beautiful courtyard and the traditional Moroccan decorations such as rugs, mosaic lamps, and fountains. Learn about the tradition and habits of drinking tea, while listening to the local stories from your host.

We chose this activity in the very last minute! but we're so glad we did it at the end. We learn a lot about Moroccan culture and ate A LOT! As vegetarian I was a bit worry about the food, but I had no problem at all. I would really like to thank our guide because he was brilliant, super friendly and approachable! I highly recommend this activity! especially if you love food and want to discover more about Marrakech and Morocco in general!

This was a great night and really worth it. We had a drink in the cafe de France whilst waiting. Really friendly group. Us was our guide and was great at telling us about growing up in Marrakesh. The tastings were great and plentiful and then there was a meal at the end which we weren’t expecting- we were truly stuffed. Got a good feel for the souks and would be brave enough to try and navigate for short parts. Great fun evening - thanks Uz. From Ruth and James

This was the best thing we did in Marrakesh. Our guide Muhammed was amazing at explaining everything to us and took good care of the group, we felt in safe hands. You get to eat SO much food, it really is incredible value for money, especially as it felt so authentic and traditional we felt truly spoilt. Great to do at the beginning of your trip so you have the opportunity to go back to the places!
