This was our last night in Marrakech and we wanted to experience the Jemaa el-Fnaa at night. We could not have made a better choice. Omar made the night entertaining and educational by giving background on each food, its preparation, and its cultural significance. Had we known how many samples we would be offered, we would have skipped lunch! If you want to try a variety of Moroccan foods while having enlightening and fun conversation, this is the choice for you. Omar earned every one of the 5 stars.
Tahar is a great host. He not only made sure we experienced the food and drink, but gave us the cultural background for each item. He was also a great resource for questions about religion and Moroccan society. He was interesting and entertaining while moving from place to place. You need to fast for a day before the outing because there is a lot of food to try. I recommend this outing with Tahar for anyone who loves food, loves laughter, and loves to learn. It's a great value!
Good city tour. The guide was able to answer all our questions and had introduced us to Moroccan culture and cuisine.
Our first evening in Marrakech! We visited The Medina Market Place with our guide Tahir We walked through different lanes trying out the local crepes, the traditional tea, the meats, soup, olives whilst he filled us in abt the culture, traditions & how garlic, figs, lemon, ginger, olives & many others are used for digestion, or to cure a chesty cough! It was indeed a wonderful experience being part of this wonderful place! Tahir was very kind, helpful & made our evening very special. Would recommend him if you would like to do a food tour.
