What an amazing experience! My love for cooking and trying new foods led me to book this tour—and I’m so glad I did. I went solo but ended up meeting so many wonderful people and had such a great time prepping and sharing a meal together. Chafik and Fatima were our hosts, and they were absolutely incredible. They made the whole experience feel truly special—definitely an A+! I also really appreciated that transportation was included, which made getting there and back so much more convenient. Highly recommend this tour! Easily one of my favorite experiences so far.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for what happened. At that time, we were relocating our cooking class to a new venue, and unfortunately there was a communication issue that affected your booking. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive and not find us, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience. We have since updated all our location details and improved our communication process to ensure this cannot happen again. We appreciate your feedback, as it has helped us improve our service. We sincerely apologize once again and wish you all the best.

We had an amazing time doing this class. My husband and I took this activity before we head home. We learned how to make chicken tagine and Moroccan pancake.

This was a fantastic experience and we loved it. We were picked up at our hotel and then taken to the house to start. The room where we prepped all the food was beautiful and our chefs were amazing and friendly. They helped make the experience as special as it was. It was more than just a cooking class and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try something different in a new country. Thank you for the experience 😁

Terrific experience. Also liked that they give back to community after the earthquake. It was fun and the food we made was delicious.

It can take more time...

Raphaelle_J, Sep 2025

It can take more time than expected (over 4h30) but really nice to do! The hosts are very nice and take the time to explain everything. They make sure everyone has something to do and participates.

Great Cooking Class
