My daughter and I took a cooking class at Riad Thycas. Our Chef / Teacher was Karina. She was warm, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable about all types of Moroccan dishes. Karina took us to the souk where we picked out vegetables and a chicken (????) which we brought back to the Riad. We all cooked together while a lovely Berber man played music for us. The food was delicious!!! This was our favorite experience in Marrakech. We will treasure this memory and we plan to revisit. Thank you again Karina !!

With this tour happening near the end of our Moroccan holiday, we did not get exposed to anything really new on this foodie tour. Our guide Abdul was great and his English was very good. We first stopped for some BBQ'd meats (but don't expect BBQ sauce). We then had some roasted lamb and were able to see the hole in the floor where they can cook as many as 50 lambs at once. From there we headed to a rooftop restaurant where we had some chicken tagine (not our favorite dish but this one was pretty good) and the final stop was a patisserie. I guess we were just expecting something more off the norm. Something more authentic and unique. It was still a good tour, but would look for some more unusual touches if we were to do it again. All that said, this is a new business so they are still figuring out what people want. Maybe this review will help them in this endeavor.

We were lucky enough to spend 4 hours with Med, wandering the souks and alleyways of Marrakech. Med is very personable, all smiles, provides much insight into the city and culture and encourages you to ask many questions. He took us to places which we would never have found on our own including a stop for tea, bread-making, Bahia Palace and the fascinating labyrinth of alleyways. Definitely recommend Med if you want a magical tour with someone who is patient, attentive, knowledgeable and clearly loves what he does.

The entire Tour exceeded my expectations. Azis was a great and patient driver. This tour was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip, We were picked up at our agreed location. We toured Aiit Ben Haddou with an awesome guide by the name of Mohan (spelling). We had plenty of time for pictures once we arrived. we had a delicious lunch on a rooftop with beautiful views. we then headed out to our overnight stay and the rooms were already set up for us. The food was AMAZING. We had a great night stay with beautiful views. The following day was the highlight of our trip. We rode on camels to our camp where the locals where preparing dinner for us and we had a bonfire before going to bed. We also purchased the turbans at the Berber family's store which was great to have during our camel ride. I was able to sandboard and rent quads for my daughter and I . The bathrooms are clean. Don't forget to tip the locals :) . This was the best experience ever!!! Bring snacks, water and toilet paper for the road trip. There is also stores and cute cafes on the way, which is a perfect time to get out and stretch your legs. I didn't think i would be able to be out on such a long tour but, this company made EVERYTHING worth while.

We had a great time exploring the souks with Hassan. This tour was on our first morning in Marrakech in order to help acclimate ourselves to the area and feel comfortable. We told him what we wanted to do and see and he created a tour for us with great shopping, views, and food. We had an amazing lunch together of lamb so request that if you are with him! He showed us shops and alleys that we would have never found on our own and there was no pressure to buy. We felt very comfortable walking around with Hassan and he did a wonderful job delivering a unique experience that fit our requets.
