The experience

A guided food walk through the medina, from Bab Doukkala to Jemaa el-Fnaa, with more than 15 tastings.

A guided walk through the medina with a dedicated food guide, taking in more than fifteen tastings across street stalls and hole-in-the-wall eateries rather than one sit-down meal, finishing with mint tea on a rooftop overlooking Jemaa el-Fnaa.

Bottled water is provided throughout; the tour is not well suited to vegan, vegetarian or restrictive diets, since most of the tastings are built around meat and dairy dishes with limited substitutions.
