Adil was an amazing host on our second tour with him. We previously did the discovery tour with Adil and decided to book the taste of Marrakesh with him as well. He catered to our needs, was super responsive, and was a joy to talk to and learn from. I can highly recommend both tours from our family of four. Our teenagers found the tours informative and gave them confidence in traveling around Marrakesh. Thank you again!Amazing experience in Marrakesh

Adil was a fantastic local guide to have. We really enjoyed our afternoon with him. He was good fun and very informative about Marrakech as a city and the local culture. We learnt a lot about the region, which put the food we were tasting into context. Adil had loads to share and show us, and the three hours flew by. The food choices were all great, varied and well chosen; we were absolutely stuffed by the end!A great experience!

This was our second tour with Adil during our trip. We met outside of the madina and Adil took us to places we would never have visited or would of found if we were on our own. He took us to some local places which had lovely food. Adil was very thoughtful and took us to places which suited us. Across the two tours we had with Adil we had great food with a great guide. We highly recommend Adil!Perfect second tour

Booked a tour with withlocals but our selected guide was changed a few days before the tour. No issue and so glad as Aimad was absolutely perfect for our visit around the tastes of Marrakech. We were a family of 5 with 3 grown up children and all really enjoyed the tour. Aimads knowledge and understanding of not only the food but all things from history and culture to religion and the way of life was amazing - such a great way to see many parts of Marrakech that we simply would have missed; you can tell he is very much a man who loves this city and all that it has to offer. Thoroughly recommend the withlocals food tasting tour and Aimad for being such a good, friendly and thoughtful guide. Thank you Aimad !Perfect tour with a perfect guide

Aimad is a fantastic guide. He is very down to earth and keen to welcome you and help you understand life in Marrakech from a local's perspective. Our food tour was brilliant, and gave us a truly authentic experience and understanding of Marrakech that we would not have had without him. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting!Fantastic Experience

With our family ( 3 generations) we made this wonderfull tour in Marrakech. It was a tour with a local but also between locals. We visited the places where locals eat so we were very happy to discover that. Adil took very good care of us, asked about food allergies or preferences of meat. Adil was very enthousiastic and talked about the food but also about Marrocans and their habbits, history.. and much more. The 3 hours passed very quickly for all of us so that’s a very good sign I would say! Book this tour with Adil, you will not regret it! Thank you Adil for a wonderfull experience in your beautiful city Marrakech! Greetings from the Belgian family.Great guide and great food!

Our food tour with Adil was a great experience! His warm personality and deep knowledge of Moroccan cuisine made every stop enjoyable. We explored hidden gems and tasted delicious local food, freshly baked bread, and enjoyed authentic mint tea while learning about local traditions.
Adil’s passion for food and culture truly stood out, making this tour both educational and delicious. If you're in Marrakech, don’t miss this experience. It’s highly recommended!Highly recommended food tour

We have had around 15 with local and other food tours all-around Europe and SE Asia and Aimad's tour is at the top. Showed us where the food is grown and how it comes to the retail market and insights on daily food buying and local laws. The stops were where locals buy their food and it was delicious. We were totally full at the end and now know a lot more about Moroccan food and culture. ALSO, no travel belly issues afterwards which I fully explored with him before the tour and he assured us no issues. Highly reccomend Aimad.food tour Marrakech

Thank you so much Aimad for such a fantastic “10 Tastings of Marrakech” tour. Your insights into local cuisine and culture were absolutely fantastic and a real highlight of our trip. We appreciated your explanations to our various questions on Moroccan culture. The food we tasted was diverse and delicious.

Booked two separate tours with Ouidad for the same day, assuming that when we met up, she would combine them in a comprehensive way, which she did. We had a fun and lovely day exploring old Marrakech. Lots of laughter, information, great sightseeing and shopping. We're on a long trip, 26 days, and this will certainly be one of the most memorable days we spent. A fun day with Ouidad!

Mohamed was an excellent tour guide, making our time in Marrakesh unforgettable. He tailored the tour to our family's preferences with ease, introducing us to delicious local foods and drinks (the smoothie was a highlight!). His engaging personality and deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture made the experience both enjoyable and informative. We’d definitely book him again on our next visit – highly recommended!!

My daughter and I spent the most fun, educational, inspiring afternoon with Aimad last month!
He gave us a primer on Moroccan history, showing us how people in Marrakech live, where they shop, how they think, all while taking us to the the numerous places where the locals eat.
I informed Aimad in advance that we were absolutely NOT interested in looking at things to buy, and I deeply appreciated it that he listened and did not bring us to shops to be shown things for purchase. He focused on things that he knew interested us: history and food, primarily.
I always hire a private guide in every new city that I visit, and I can assure you that Aimad is one of the very best guides that I have come across in my decades of traveling! Knowledgeable, Very Fun, and Insightful!

Got stuffed with great food, and got us outside the usual tourist streets. Made 6/7 stops, everything from breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as desert and more. Ended the day in a blissful food coma.
Our tour guide wasn't Elhoussaine, though - it was Mohammed, who said he works with Elhoussaine. Mohammed had great vibes and was very friendly, but his English was quite limited. Would have liked to ask more specific questions.Great vibes, tasty food, not Elhoussaine

From the moment we met Adil, we were greeted with a friendly, caring and well-informed energy. We felt that every care was taken to make the tour special to us. As well as a knowledge of the local food, Adil has a great understanding of the city, which he clearly loves, and the "inside track" information, helped us enormously with our stay. We highly recommend booking with him. Great guy! Thank youPerfect food tour

My best friend and I spent an evening on a food tour with Mo and had the best time. He ensured we were well fed and cared for, and we felt so at ease with him. The food spots he chose were amazing and authentic and we were blessed to try foods we wouldn’t otherwise have had the opportunity to try. He had a great sense of humour and the time flew by. We would highly recommend Mo if you would like an evening in Marrakesh full of food, culture and amazing vibes. Thanks so much Mo!Food, culture and amazing vibes

Aimad was a perfect guide on our journey. Aimad met us on time and immediately put us at ease with defining the tour and asking about our specific expectations.
His knowledge of the local traditions and history made our day even more enjoyable.
The food tour itself is exactly what we expected and more, as Aimad shared specific details of the delicacies of Marrakech. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with such a kind and generous host. Perfect way to start our trip

If you need a perfect introduction to the souk/medina - do this your very first night. Mohammad will ensure you are well looked after and you will realize how safe and fun the medina is.
He brought us to places you would never try - and in the next few days we ensured we went down the dark alleys and up to the second floor places, because that's where the value and best food is.
Super fun, knowledgeable and THE best introduction to our very first trip to Morocco. What a great way to start in Marrakech

We had a great tour with Adil and wonderful that it was a private tour for our group. We were given a little introduction to the history of Marrakesh and its culture and a tour of the market as well as some tastings which included a full meal as well. We were very full! Adil was very friendly and funny and we enjoyed meeting him. The tour is ideal for your first day to give you the confidence to head into the market independently. Great Introduction to Marrakesh

Omar was a great host and we enjoyed the tour, especially the cake/yoghurt/pastilla stop and the visit to the herbalist and spice shop.
However I would say that the tour is probably better for a smaller group 5 people or less due to the nature of the Medina.
Lastly over half the party whilst enjoying didn't think it was good value for money at the price and we also didn't do 10 tastings Enjoyed it but better for smaller groups
