Meula, Chfange and Olives, Guided by Mehdi
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
MarrakechMehdi runs this himself, and he is a licensed guide, which in Morocco is a real qualification rather than a claim: it takes training and an exam, and the badge is checkable.
Three hours through the Medina, starting from the Poste du Maroc in Jemaa el-Fna, and what you eat comes off the same stalls the neighbourhood eats from.
The photographs from the tour name what is on offer: meula, which is Morocco's version of shakshuka, eggs cooked into a spiced tomato base; chfange, the doughnuts, best straight out of the oil; a barbecue stop; and an olive tasting, which sounds slight and is not, because Morocco's olives run from creamy greens to reds tossed with herbs and the range is wider than anyone expects.
Up to twelve people, and the tour runs at breakfast, lunch or dinner times depending on the slot you book, with the meal included.
Moderate fitness, because it is three hours on your feet in a maze. Service animals allowed, prams fine.

Medina street-food walk
The guide meets the group at the meeting point and walks through the parts of the Medina where locals eat and spend time, with stops at hidden spots that are hard to find alone. The food is street food, not tagine or couscous. The tour covers 7 to 9 dishes, and food and drinks are included. Depending on tastes, the tastings may include msemen (a flaky pancake with savory filling), harira soup with chebakia sweets, makla bel kefta (spiced meat in tomato-pepper sauce), sfenj doughnuts, prickly pear (lhnidiya), chwa (grilled skewers of beef, turkey or liver), steamed sheep's head with salt and cumin (rass mbekher), a Marrakchi fruit smoothie and khoudenjal, a hot herbal tea with eucalyptus and spices. Tell the guide about allergies or dietary needs in advance and the tour is adapted.
