The Tangier Evening Food Tour is an after-dark walking tour of the Tangier medina in northern Morocco, operated by A Chef's Tour (achefstour.com). The listing does not state how long the operator has run this tour, so no start date is given. The exact meeting point in the medina is provided in the booking confirmation. The route follows the old town's lanes and squares in the evening, when street vendors, small restaurants and cafes are at their liveliest and the heat of the day has eased. The tour lasts about three to four hours and is built around evening tastings of Tangier street food and medina specialties. As is typical for the city, the stops tend to favour savoury items such as grilled, fried and stewed dishes, with a sweet finish of pastries or mint tea, although the exact stops can change. The price is about 549 MAD ($59) per person and includes a local guide and the evening tastings. Drinks beyond those served at tasting stops, transport and tips are not described as included. Group size is not stated in the listing for the evening tour, whereas the operator's daytime tour is capped at eight guests, so visitors who prefer a small group should confirm the limit when booking. The tour is typically offered in English, and visitors who need another language should ask the operator in advance. The listing does not describe dietary substitutions, so guests who are vegetarian or have allergies should ask before booking. The pace is relaxed but involves continuous walking on cobbles and steps. The tour operates year-round, and the evening format suits visitors who prefer cooler temperatures or who want to see the medina after the day's shopping crowds have thinned. Because lighting in some lanes is limited, visitors should wear sturdy shoes and keep valuables secure in a front bag, as in any busy medina after dark. The evening setting also offers a good opportunity for photography of lantern-lit lanes, though stall holders should be asked before photographing them or their food.
