The Foodie Tour in the Old Medina is a small-group guided food walk through Fès el-Bali, the old medina of Fes in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region, run by the operator 3t Travel. The listing does not state how long the operator has been running. The tour begins with pickup from a riad or hotel in the medina, and the exact meeting point is confirmed at booking, with Bab Boujloud serving as the reference point at the medina's western gate. Two versions are offered: a 3.5-hour tour at about $58 (roughly MAD 540) per adult and a longer 5-hour version at about $93 (roughly MAD 860). Both are built around Moroccan tasting stops, coffee or tea, and a lunch, so the experience combines street-level snacks with a sit-down meal. Savoury dishes dominate the route, with tea and sweet items rounding out the stops; the listing does not give an exact number of dishes. The price includes coffee or tea, lunch and the tasting stops, plus the hotel or riad pickup. Items not mentioned as included, such as extra drinks, souvenirs and tips, are paid separately. The tour is described as small group, which keeps the party manageable in the narrow medina lanes where a large group would struggle to move or hear the guide. The language of the guide and the pace are not specified in the listing, so visitors should confirm these when booking. Dietary substitutions are likewise not described; visitors who are vegetarian, avoid certain ingredients or have allergies should state this in advance because the lunch and tasting stops are pre-arranged. The longer 5-hour option suits visitors who want more time in the medina's markets and lanes, while the 3.5-hour version is a more compact introduction to Fassi food. The tour runs year-round.

When to visit
The tour runs year-round; spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for walking, and summer visitors should favour the morning departure.
