Very nice hospitable family and we made a delicious tajine
Yesterday, my two daughters and I, had a Moroccan cooking workshop at a local family's home. We learned how to make tajine. We had plenty of time to learn more about the Moroccan culture. A very nice and hospitable family. While waiting, we were treated to various delicious Moroccan delicacies and the lovely mint tea. Afterwards, we were driven back to the medina with Anwar. We had a wonderful afternoon and recieved also the recipes. Thank you, Anwar, and the family!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much dear Laura for the lovely review. However, it looks like your review was written for the wrong host. I organize cooking experiences and dinners as well, but this review should be on Anwar’s profile ☺️

Plenty of food and information!
Fun food tour with the nicest guide. Rababe took us to some places we’d never find on our own and then a few places in the main area. The fish, meat and farmers’ market was fantastic. So worth it to learn about the area/food…thank you!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Jen for the lovely review ! It was such a pleasure meeting you and tasting food together. I hope that you enjoyed the rest of your tour around Morocco. KInd regards,

The best "non-touristy" experience in Morocco
This is a great non-touristy experience. It was amazing to get insight from a local about every aspect of their life. Then we had a cooking class in their home, and shared the meal with them and their children.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking time to review my services. It was a pleasure to have you amongst my family. Warm regards from Tangier !

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cooking and eating with a local family: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does Cooking and eating with a local family cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tangier usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cooking and eating with a local family take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tangier is not rushed.
Is Cooking and eating with a local family worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tangier, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cooking and eating with a local family?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cooking and eating with a local family suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cooking and eating with a local family?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tangier can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tangier and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cooking and eating with a local family start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tangier within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tangier?
+
On Outty we rank every Tangier experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Tangier: Chefchaouen Day Trip with Local Guide, From Tangier Private Full Day-Trip to Chefchaouen, 7 days Tour from Tangier to Marrakech Morocco Tours. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tangier?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tangier?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
