This tour was amazing, not only did we taste delicious food I would have never heard of we also saw the important sights of Tangier. We had amazing shopping experiences as well as we learned about traditionally made Moroccan carpets and body oils. This tour was a perfect mix of everything and it took us from 8am to 1:30pm. It was super comprehensive and the tour guide was amazing and spoke English perfectly. Anas was our tour guide and I would highly recommend him. He guided my husband and I as well as our two daughters and everyone was very satisfied from the entire experience!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the experience and that the day offered a nice balance of history, local flavors, and cultural discoveries. It was a real pleasure spending the day with all of you, and I’m grateful for your recommendation. I hope Tangier leaves you with many happy memories, and I would be delighted to welcome your family back anytime. Safe travels!
Fantastic experience! Our guide, Anas, was very friendly and professional. I lost count of the food stops, but they were delightful. They ran the gamut from an upscale restaurant with a fantastic view to a tiny hole in the wall where laborers get ready for the workday. We finished the tour with bags from two different places because we were to stuffed to try them. I will tour with Anas the next time I am in Morocco! Ask him about his other tours.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure sharing the food and culture of Morocco with you. I’m delighted you enjoyed the tour, and I look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure the next time you’re in Morocco. Safe travels!
Absolutely outstanding tour. Anas was a very helpful and knowledgeable guide who answered all our questions and took us to some great spots. We tried all manner of tasty foods from mint tea to a huge seafood lunch. Tour was worth every penny we paid.
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you. I’m very happy you enjoyed the food, the places we visited, and the experience overall. Wishing you safe travels, and I hope to welcome you back to Morocco one day!
Instead of cancelling our tour, the tour guide told us he was asked to cover for the regular guide since he was busy the day of our tour. Instead of being met at the cruise port we were asked to walk 25 minutes into a very confusing market area where, once we finally found our guide, we were taken around to four spots where we had a cup of bean soup at our first stop, an espresso at our second stop, our third stop was a chicken and couscous dish and our fourth stop we got a date with a walnut in it. We got no discussion or explanation on anything we were eating nor any cultural discussions. Most of the time we spent staring at the back of our 25 year old “tour guides” head. Then we were left in the middle of the market and told the tour is over your ship is that way as he pointed and walked away. Hands down, worst tour ever.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am honestly surprised by this review, especially since I already issued you a refund as a gesture of goodwill after our discussions. Given that the refund was accepted, I do not see the value in posting a review that omits important parts of what happened that day. First, your group arrived significantly later than the agreed meeting time at the port, which affected the schedule from the start. Despite this, we honored the tour and ensured that all the planned locations were covered. Second, the guide who accompanied you was asked to substitute for the regular guide due to an unforeseen scheduling issue. While he may have had a different style, he made every effort to accommodate your group and complete the experience. I also feel it is important to mention that throughout the tour and our subsequent communications, the interactions toward our guide and our team were at times discourteous and disrespectful. Nevertheless, we remained professional and worked to find a satisfactory solution, including providing a refund. We always welcome constructive criticism and continuously strive to improve our tours. However, fairness requires that the full context be considered. I wish you all the best in your future travels.
One of the best walking food tours we’ve ever done in the world!! Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, and took us to some really interesting places. He was also attentive to one of our party who had to be gluten-free, and she had options at each stop.
Thank you so much 🤗🤗
Our tour guide Anas was fabulous! Very knowledgeable about his city and country. He led us through the various parts of medina where we enjoyed amazing foods along the route. Sweet and savoury chicken&tuna, unbelievable sweets, mint teas and on and on.
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback! It was a real pleasure showing you around the medina and sharing some local flavors. I’m glad you enjoyed the experience. Hope to see you again.
It’s in an out of the way location actually an alley so we weren’t sure however once we got in a lovely culinary experience unfolded. Our chef was a fount of information about the history of tapas and paella. She carefully guided us through making paella from preparing the seafood to waiting for the dish to be just right before it was ready. Oh and let’s not forget the sangria making history and process. What an incredible way to learn about the culinary culture of a country.
The good was diverse and learned a lot about the culture. Our guide showed us everything in the old city.
That sounds wonderful! I’m really glad you had such a rich experience and got to immerse yourself in the local culture. It’s great to hear that your guide helped you discover the best parts of the old city — those tours can be so memorable!
We highly recommend this experience. It's very immersive, with a lot of variety of food in many different venues.. You will eat well...like a local. Our guide had hired cabs to take us to and from the city center and we walked to the various shops and restaurants from a plaza overlooking the cruise ships. We walked quite a lot, but had plenty of opportunities to rest and our guide knew where all of the clean restroom facilities were located. We felt safe. One of our travel mates is gluten intolerant and special accommodations were made for her. Everything was included in the price, including tipping. We did stop at a Moroccan oils shop and a rug shop, but were not pressured to purchase anything. One piece of advice is Do Not Eat Anything before starting the excursion because you are offered a lot of food. This is not an appropriate excursion for disabled people as there are uneven surfaces, cobblestone walkways and a hilly terraine. The excursion was supposed to last 3 1/2 - 4 hours, but it lasted for 6 hours as we were offered shopping opportunities. We would definitely do this one again and highly recommend Annis.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful feedback! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and felt well taken care of throughout the tour. It’s wonderful that you appreciated the variety of food and local atmosphere, and that the arrangements worked smoothly for everyone in your group. I also appreciate your note about accessibility and timing—it’s very helpful for future guests. We’re delighted you’d choose to do it again, and I’ll be sure to share your kind words with Annis!
Good variety of food and drinks. Tour guide was knowledgeable and showed us unique places, too, like a spice shop and rug shop.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the selection of treats and the special stops along the way. It’s wonderful to know our guide helped make the tour both memorable and meaningful.
