We had a great time with Ouidad! She showed us parts of the medina we would have never seen alone. The food was very good and we also liked to hear more about the city, culture and the history of the country! She is such a nice and welcoming person and was open to adapt the tour according to our wishes. Thank you Ouidad we had a great time!Great experience!

We had a fantastic food tour with our local guide Adil. There was so much food on the tour we needed a lie down in the afternoon! Plenty of stops for authentic sweet and savoury snacks and a tasty chicken tagine at the end. It was also good visiting a local market to see the range of food, spices and craft goods for sale. Adil was such a friendly and knowledgeable guide and it was lovely to hear about his background and family. A five-star tour that was a great insight into the history, food and culture of Marrakesh and Morocco. Five star Marrakesh food tour

(About local Omar)

20 May 2025

Omar was an interesting and informative guide, who showed us parts of the Medina that we wouldn't have found, and gave us the confidence to return and explore by ourselves. However, he rushed us through the souks and seemed frustrated when we stopped to take in the sights and atmosphere. We were 20 minutes late meeting him due to our bus being late, but I had forewarned him that this may happen. His food choices were not the best for us sadly. Firstly we had a delicious savoury msemmen and herbal tea cooked by a wonderful lady, but the main five tastes at the next venue were greasy, cold and totally unappetising. We were then rushed on to share a mere six tiny sweet treats between four of us. We declined the soup offer after that☹️ The herbalist was good fun and entertaining, so all was not lost!memorable experience

(About local ELHOUSSAINE)

14 May 2025

We had an absolutely amazing time on this local food tour in Marrakesh! From the very beginning, Elhoussaine was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about sharing the city's rich culinary culture. He took us through hidden alleyways and vibrant markets we would have never found on our own, introducing us to delicious street food, traditional Moroccan dishes, and even some sweet treats to finish it off. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the personal touch— Elhoussaine went above and beyond by helping us book another tour to the beautiful Ourika Valley. It wasn’t part of the original plan, but he made the process so easy and seamless, and that day trip turned out to be just as memorable.Amazing experience

My family, 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 12 and 9), just finished a day of touring and tasting our way through Marrakech with Adil. We simply could not have had a better experience! We wanted a combination of sights and tastings, and so we worked with Adil and booked 2 tours back to back: 10 tastings and Highlights and Hidden Gems. The foods that he had selected for us were simply delicious. Flavourful and plentiful, by the end we couldn’t even finish some of it, we were so full! I’m glad that we booked both tours together, because it gave us a little chance to digest between some of the tastings, and he added really helpful commentary to the sights we saw. Adil was so kind, and he was absolutely wonderful with our kids. His English is impeccable, and the tour really resonated with all of us. If you’re thinking of booking a tour with Adil, go for it! You won’t be disappointed. Great Guide, Beautiful City, Yummy Food!

Adil was a wonderful guide who had in-depth knowledge of all things Marrakech - from the history, to food, religion, culture and the local people. He had great English (which was great as we have terrible Moroccan 😂) he was funny, kind and I really loved the pride he has in his city. I highly recommend Adil’s tour. Oh and by the way come hungry - there’s loads of food! Delicious Marrakech

De tour op zich was ok. Alleen El Hassan was niet erg enthousiast en communicatief. Hij deed plichtmatig zijn rondje. Ook wilde hij aan het eind snel weg naar zijn vrouw en gezin. We moesten nog even wachten voor zijn personal shopping. Nog voordat we afscheid namen belde zijn vrouw al…. Erg jammer!Matige ervaring

20 April 2025

I’d highly recommend Elhoussaine’s tour - and I just wish we’d booked it for the first day of our holiday as it was the perfect way to discover hidden bits of the old town. Elhoussaine took us to see the local areas beyond the obvious tourist streets. We tried food we wouldn’t have been brave enough to taste (sheep’s head etc) on our own, and ventured into cafes we’d just have walked past. We loved it all. But even more than the food we enjoyed an adventure with a charming, friendly, interesting guide. Elhoussaine shared personal stories and facts about Morocco and its people, history and culture as we walked. He was so kind in bringing a gluten free pancake for my husband so he didn’t miss out on anything, and he made sure we were all happy and engaged throughout. A very memorable and enjoyable few hours. Thank you!Great experience

We had an fantastic three-hour city tour through Marrakesh in the evening. Our guide led us through the lively streets, hidden alleys, bustling souks, and vibrant market squares of the city. Along the way, we sampled a wide variety of local foods — everything from street snacks to traditional dishes — and received fascinating explanations about each one. What made the experience truly special was how connected our guide was with the people and places around us. It felt like he knew everyone in the city! We got to meet locals, learn about the culture firsthand, and really dive into the heart of Marrakesh. By the end of the evening, we were absolutely full — we kept eating because everything was so delicious! It was a truly unique and fun way to explore the city, and we’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a deeper, tastier look into Marrakesh.An unforgettable food & culture tour

Adil was a fantastic tour guide from the start. A perfect gentleman, funny, very friendly and knowledgeable on the history of Marrakesh cuisine. Wandering through the streets of the Medina, we were introduced to many Moroccan dishes from savoury to sweet. Adil brought these dishes alive with the stories he shared and the locals we met along the way. This authentic tour is highly recommended and not to be missed. In the company of Adil you are in for a real treat. Fabulous food tour for your taste buds

(About local Omar)

What can I say? 10/10 experience. Omar is not only savvy and knowledgable about the local food in Marrakesh, he also navigates the city like he designed it. I wish I could remember the names of the street food we tried during the tour but I'll leave that to you to find out. Top tip: A dried fish sandwich with all sorts of extras and sauces on top. I melted and went to food heaven. Omar also taught us a lot about conventions and traditions in Morocco, which we found not only interesting but also helpful. His English is impeccable, I think he's some sort of secret language wizzard. Anyways - book him, you won't regret it. I will keep his contact so next time we can do another one of the tours together. Fantastic food tour!

What a delightful experience for a pre-birthday celebration with Omar. Right from the start with a very welcoming smile, he was nothing but loving, knowledgable and respectful about his culture and roots, not only food-wise! Veggie samosas here, the best fresh olives and spicy snails there, with a great conversation about past and present Morocco and mint teas in between, Omar made the tour the most memorable. Shukran, my friend!One thousand and one bites

We booked a sightseeing and a food tasting tour with Jafaar back to back - asking him to combine them so we got some food between seeing the sites. But it was Eid and almost everything was closed. But he suggested we start in the afternoon on the first day of Eid and we were able to see a number of sites. Then we regrouped the next day to finish up when more things were open. He was able to give us the best experience despite the obstacles of the holiday. And his explanation of the history for the sites was very impressive and really brought things to life!Fabulous tours! Very accommodating

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.

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

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!

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

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!
