The experience

The tour starts at Café France on Jemaa el-Fna square, where your guide meets you with a badge. From there you move into the Medina's narrow alleys, each one devoted to a different specialty: spices, olives, dates, meat. You stop at stalls and food shops that most visitors never find, tasting as you go: Moroccan meatballs called Kofte with homemade tomato sauce, traditional soups, local bread and teas, barbecues, and the region's distinctive sweets. The guide explains the ingredients, techniques and traditions behind each dish while you watch local chefs at work.

The route takes you through the colorful Olives Souk, where you can try different flavors and pick your own mix. You'll walk past mountains of dates and choose your favorites. The smell of olive oil draws you to the olives section, where everything is available to sample. Dinner is included in the price, so you eat your fill as part of the experience rather than as an add-on.

You can book this as a private tour for your group alone, or join a small group tour with other travelers. Either way, the guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or another language depending on availability. The whole experience runs 3 hours and is wheelchair accessible, with all surfaces and areas accessible throughout the Medina route.

The 10 tastings span traditional tagine, Moroccan meatballs (Kofte), local bread and teas, barbecues, traditional soups, olives in different flavors, dates, and Morocco's distinctive sweets. Dinner is included as well, so you're eating a full meal across the stops rather than sampling alone.

Do I walk the whole time or do we stop and sit?

You walk through the Medina's alleys and stop at stalls and food shops to taste. The guide pauses at each spot so you can watch chefs at work, chat with vendors and try the food, but this is a walking tour through the neighborhood, not a seated meal.

The private tour is your group alone with the guide. The shared group tour combines you with other travelers on the same route and stops. Both follow the same itinerary and include the same 10 tastings and dinner.
