The Original Marrakech Street Food Tour

This review is of the Ramadan Iftar Picnic experience. A very special experience during Ramadan to join a local family to break their fast in their home. A very different experience! I was a little hesitant for an experience like this and intruding in someone's home. But, it was a very lovely, tasting and cultural experience! There is no better way to experience the culture of a country than at a locals dinner table. Our guide was very nice and ready to answer all our questions. Worth the visit if you are visiting during Ramadan. The tour included: - Meeting at Bahia Palace. We had two other groups on our tour. - Walk through of a food market where the locals purchase groceries for the meals - Explanation of the culture of fasting, important facts about about this time of year - Head to a local family's home to break the fast. The meal is home cooked. It was sooooo delicious and so much food! We were so full - After dinner, we walked to the quad at Ben Salah Mosque to observe the prayers. So very magical. Tips: - bring cash for tips for both the tour guide and the family who prepped the meal - bring water for when you are walking around

We recently did a private personalised Marrakech Food Tour, and all 3 generations enjoyed the experience. We had a 2 year old who insisted on walking ..... so we all had to advance at her speed! As it was during Ramadan, we also visited other places and were given a list of good restaurants to try out, which we did. But the Tajine we had on the tour was the best (by far) any of us sampled during the whole of our stay. Thank you very much for a lovely first day in the old town.

I have been to Morocco many times and was keen to have a more indepth understanding of Ramadan. I felt that a tour with Marrakech Food Tours would be a great start, as I had done several other tours with them prior to the Pandemic. We met with our lovely guide at the Bahia Palace, Hannan was our guide, as a side it was great to have a female guide. We toured around the Souks observing people buying last minute items and people closing their shops ready to get home to their families. Hannan shared her knowledge of Ramadan, it was so interesting to hear about it first hand. We walked to a family house and were able to share in their experience of the breaking of the fast. We started with harira Soup with dates and chebakia pastries, absolutely delicious. This was followed by lots more food and drink. Including delicious chicken Tangia, sellou, homemade bread, eggs, and more! go hungry! Our small group was mixture of people of different ages, they were three generations of the same family, they were really delightful. I love to meet and chat to people on my travels, it enhances the whole experience. After our food we walked, and were able to stop outside the Mosque and observe and listen. That was a real privilege. From there we walked to Jemaa el Fna, which had an amazing atmosphere. The tour ended here. And myself and my husband spent time just being in the square and enjoying the whole experience. It was also great to meet Amanda for the first time, and see Youssef again.
