What are people saying about Marrakech

Shamini_M, Nov 2026

Amazing sunset experience in the Agafay Desert!

We had such an amazing time in the Agafay Desert! The sunset camel ride was a real highlight and such a memorable experience. Tariq was a fantastic host, and everything was well organised, from the comfortable transfers to the dinner and evening show. Great value for money and an experience I’d highly recommend!

Marrakesh cooking class with chef Hassan - Local dishes

Amy_B, Nov 2026

Great day

We had the most wonderful day with Hassan! It was really well paced, we didn’t rush anything and had time to chat and ask questions. We went around the local market and selected the vegetables where Hassan involved us all individually. We then learned about the popular mint tea and the best way to brew it. We made 4 different tagines, one beef based, one chicken, one handmade meatballs and sauce and one vegetable, along with two local salad dishes. We had one vegetarian which was catered for with a separate shaksuka dish. Hassan was really great at getting everyone individually involved in the process and we learned a lot. He was very fluent in English and French so everyone could easily understand. The day wasn’t rushed at all, and we had a delicious lunch! Genuinely a lovely guy and very knowledgeable! Our group total was 11 which was perfect. You won’t regret booking with him - thank you so much Hassan!

Lovely morning with lunch

Fantastic Fun with the Family

A very well organised and enjoyable insight into Moroccan cuisine. I took part with my 12 and 10 year olds who found it to be the highlight of their holiday. Laila and her family were very accommodating, took time to include everybody and their approach with the kids was perfect. I would have no hesitation in recommending this activity.

Marrakech: Ouzoud Falls Guided Hike, Boat Ride and Lunch

Lori_Z, Oct 2026

Fun, engaging guides that make for a fun hike to the falls.

From Marrakech, a 2 hour comfortable bus journey to the falls. We were met there by an experienced guide who gave a us a great informative tour as we hiked our way to the waterfalls. We took a short boat ride around the falls. We saw & interacted with the local monkeys along the way. We had a wonderful lunch near the falls with traditional Moroccan food. Our guides were so engaging with the group, asking to take videos & photos on people’s cameras for them. The guides, bus driver were super nice & professional. This was a super tour, but the day is long, so rest up before you go. Great value on this tour.

I would recommend it without hesitation.

If you are in Marrakech, don't miss this experience. Zacarías shares his passion for cooking in an approachable and fun way, and Fátima makes you feel at home from the very first moment. Between delicious recipes, laughter, and good conversation, you discover much more than the local gastronomy. An authentic experience.

Wonderful experience! The...

Wonderful experience! The tour operator provided very clear pick up instructions including a photo of where we would be met. The outdoors kitchen is located in a beautiful garden and it is a stunning setting. The Chef was amazing and interacted with everyone individually while providing instructions in both English and French. We then ate the delicious food we prepared in the garden and were provided with containers to take away our leftovers. A great day!

Unforgettable evening!

We were very friendly and enthusiastically received by Najlae in her own traditional family home. First there was an explanation of how to make a real mint tea. Then prepared the Taijines + vegetables. Everything explained to us with a lot of humor and conviviality. We were a large group, 16 men, but Najlae took extensive time for everything. All in all a wonderful evening and learned a lot about Moroccan cuisine, using herbs and also some about Moroccan culture and how certain things are viewed. Very cozy, informative and tasty! Definitely recommended!

Marrakech Desert Quad and Camel ride, Lunch, and Poolside

Firaz_A, Feb 2026

Recommended - good value

Booked last minute - surpassed expectations. We were picked up near Jama al Fanaa around 10am and made our way to an Argan press facility. We were served with olive oil, honey and peanut dip with bread and tea followed by a bried overview of the argan hand press and various products available. We then made it out to Agafey dessert where we did quad bikes followed by camel ride. Lastly we had lunch which was pretty good and after, back to Jama Al Fanaa before 2pm. Relative to my expectation and the cost, experience overdelivered with kids super happy.
