Excellent tour, highly recommend! - What a fantastic tour with Smail. We were met outside the Argana restaurant (do not go in, meet on the corner outside) by Smail, who took five of us in total for a food tour around the medina, areas for tourists and just locals. We visited areas we would not have visited by ourselves, so it was great. The foods we were invited to try were, delicious and one was interesting, meaning the boiled sheep’s head, which we did try and was nice, but can’t say I’d order it in a restaurant lol. It is very filling as we visited 7 maybe 8 places to eat, so go on an empty stomach and you will be fed well. My favourite was the meat on skewers, will try to find that place again, as they were lush. It was a great tour and was very interesting. I very highly recommend this tour, as an introduction to Morocco or an eye opener to the Marrakesh experience with Smail and for great value. We really enjoyed it and would definitely do it again.

The tour was true to its... - The tour was true to its name! Our guide Smail took us to a lot of hidden gems off the standard tourist routes. Some of them cannot even be located on Google map. And we had a variety of delicious food including bread, lamb, and BBQs.

Easy meet-up, broad scope... - Easy meet-up, broad range of flavors, more food than you can eat, flexibility for adhoc stops and to get second servings if you want. 😊 Our group's guide was a Morocco native who has also guided desert trips - it was great to be able to discuss a wide variety of topics. This was a great way to get oriented to the medina on the first day of my visit. Pro tip: take leftovers to go so you don't feel pressured to eat it all at each stop

Brilliant food tour - Went on this street food tour last night, highly recommended, we weren't expecting much for the money, but we were so wrong. We visited about 8 different places that we never would have found, let alone known what to ask for. I would say taste everything but don't eat it all, you'll never manage it all unless you are very hungry as there was so much. Our guide was amazing, a local lad, really friendly and knowledgeable.

Great Value For Money Food Tour - We had a great time doing this tour, we got to sample seven different types of food/drink and were left completely full and satisfied by the end! Our host, Smail, was really good…..he explained all the different local delicacies we tried and also gave us some non food related knowledge about Medina as we walked between the food places. Would definitely recommend and superb value for money!

Outstanding Food Tour through the Souks of Marrakech! - A phenomenal experience with our guide Smail (pronounced iss-mile)! The progression of dishes is dynamic and fun, showcasing the food culture from both a historical and a functional perspective. Each stop will leave you satisfied while the variety of flavors leaves you with room for the next bite! Not only is this tour about food, it’s an intricate tour of the Souks from the heart of the tourist district, then stretching to a mixed area where locals and tourists eat and shop and eventually to the edge of the areas where locals live / shop and eat. You’ll notice the transition as vegetable stands become visible on the streets. Thank you Smail! You made our visit to the city of Marrakech 😃
