“Food tours are always a great introduction to a city and this was a delicious mix of Moroccan flavors/food and eating experiences. From snacks to desserts to quick bites and a sit down meal, Yahya led us on a delightful romp through the old Medina. His selection of vendors was top notch. In fact, we tried a couple of different vendors on a different day and ended up going back to the ones Yahya introduced us to because they were superior. And Yahya himself was a load of fun and a fountain of knowledge. Thanks for a fantastic tour!”
