5 Great Destinations Around the World for Food-Lovers - AFAR
"From Casablanca to Marrakech, with cooking classes, home-cooked meals with a local family, and tasting visits in bustling souks, the Morocco Real Food Adventure offers a chance to taste the real Morocco."
I can’t say enough great things about this food tour. This is exactly what I wanted. Sheep’s head, lamb, tangine, olives, juices, couscous, sweets, snails, etc, this tour had it all. Our guide, Khalid, is the kindest man I have ever met. He took us to the very best, off the beaten path spots for the best Moroccan food. I would do this tour every time I am here. It was perfect!

Fantastic tour company. Great communication. We did the Snacks and Shopping in Marrakesh with Atman and the Evening Food Tour with Rashid. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We experienced food in places that we would have never found on our own. When shopping, we could decide what we wanted to see and Atman was very helpful in telling us about the quality of the items and about shipping. We saw where the artisans were making the goods and went out of the touristy areas in both tours.

As a food tour operator myself, when I travel, booking a food tour is the first thing I do (because it is what I suggest to those visiting my country). The way my trip went, I was not able to do the tour until the end of the week and WOW, I would have eaten much better if I had done this trip first!!
The stops gave me insight on what to order, and I learned quickly how to pick out good food options (which I did not find on my own during the week).
If you are a foodie, you want to book this tour as the first thing to do in Marrakesh.

I went on an evening food tour in Marrakech flying solo. I was joined by two other couples and a family of three and nabbed the last spot. Eight was a good number! Entertaining but we all got the good of the tour guide.
We met in front of the post office and headed off for three and a half hours. The food was a brilliant selection - lamb, doughnuts, olives, snails, cous cous, tea, bakery stop for savoury and sweet pastries and rounded off on a rooftop with a refreshing smoothie and biscuits. There was plenty of food to go round and no pressure if some of it wasn’t for you (snails weren’t for me but the others in the group happily ate my share!).
Our tour guide was well prepared with wipes, tissues and sanitiser which was a helpful touch. He was super friendly and willing to answer all our questions from food to politics/royal family, what to see in the area, where to eat etc. Came back with a great list for the rest of the week.
He knew so many people in the souks and was clearly well regarded. We were treated brilliantly wherever we went.
For 3.5 hours of food, advice and guiding, the ticket is well worth it. Highly recommend.

Great experience tasting street food in Marrakech. We had a group of 6 people on our tour. We met at the post office and were taken by our guide all around the Médina to taste different types of flavorful food. From lamb that was cooked for hours in an underground oven, fish burgers, doughnuts, olives, harira (soup), couscous in a back alley by a woman who cooks for the local shop vendors + more! Our guide was really nice and told us stories about the history of the food, the ingredients and the background on the places we stopped at. At some of the places we were able to sit down and other times we stood and ate. It was a great way to experience places and flavors we never would have found on our own.

We had the pleasure of working with Moroccan Food Adventures during our time in Marrakech and everything was perfect. We did the Evening Food Tour our first night to get acquainted with the Medina and sample the local cuisine and then we did the Snack & Shopping Tour later in our stay to get all the secret recommendations for where to shop. We've done Food Tours in most cities we visit and the ease to book, the great communication and the support to adjust to our needs given we had someone with mobility issues made working with Moroccan Food Adventures perfect. Highly recommend using their services as part of your time in Marrakech. Thanks Amanda and team!
