Location & cuisine

Embark on an unforgettable culinary adventure along Morocco’s captivating coastline, from the Mediterranean sea to the Atlantic.  With each stop, we’ll dive deep into the diverse and mouthwatering flavours of each region:

We journey from the vibrant city of Tangier to the charming sea-side town of Larache, where fresh seafood and local specialties await. Next, we’ll explore the bustling energy of Casablanca, Morocco’s cosmopolitan heart and white city, savouring its fusion of traditional and modern flavours.

In Oualidia, a hidden gem renowned for its oysters and tranquil beauty, we’ll indulge in some of the freshest seafood fresh of the boat, and cook delicious tagines with organic ingredients freshly picked from the garden.   Finally, we’ll reach Essaouira, a windswept coastal town where the aromas of grilled fish mingle with the sea breeze, and our chef takes you on a food tasting tour through the ancient medina.

Our partner hotels are beautiful riads within the walled medina and sophisticated beach-side retreats on the stunning coasts.

Immersion into heart and homes of Morocco. 

“In summary, this coastal journey was one of the best travel experiences we’ve had. It wasn’t just a tour; it was an immersion into the heart and homes of Morocco. We dined with local families, learnt how to cook, had picnics on the beach.  Our tour guides went above and beyond and pre-empted our every need.   For anyone looking for a trip that combines history, culture, and exceptional food, this trip will exceed all your expectations. We’re already looking forward to booking our next adventure with Judith at Gourmet On Tour!”

What happy guests said about this tour…

  • Delicious, different and engaging - Thank you so much for organising a fantastic 3-day break in Beijing. Even though we actually live in China, it was very insightful and we discovered many hidden gems we would never have found in guidebooks.

  • Best way to see Beijing - This was the perfect introduction to China and best way to see this vibrant city. Loved making dumplings in a charming Hutong and sharing stories with locals. Felt like a real insider.
