The Tetouan Food Tour is a walking tasting tour of the Tetouan medina in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region of northern Morocco. It is listed on byFood (byfood.com), a food-experience booking platform, and the meeting point is shown on the booking page. The listing does not name a separate underlying operator or state how long the tour has run, so none is given here. Tetouan's medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its Andalusian-influenced architecture and long-standing pastry and bread traditions, which gives the tour a distinct character compared with the better-known food walks in Tangier or Chefchaouen. The tour lasts about three hours and includes snacks at more than six tasting stops, followed by a two-course lunch or dinner, depending on the departure time. Bottled water is also included. The stops focus on Tetouan medina specialties and pastries, so the balance is a combination of savoury bites, a sit-down meal and sweet items from local bakeries. The price starts from about 884 MAD ($95) per person, which is higher than the region's other food tours because it includes a full two-course meal in addition to the tastings. Transport to the meeting point, extra drinks and tips are not listed as included. Group size and language are not specified in the listing, so visitors should check the booking page for the language of the tour and the maximum number of guests. The listing does not describe dietary substitutions, so guests who are vegetarian, halal-conscious in specific ways, or allergic to nuts, which feature heavily in Moroccan pastries, should contact the platform or operator before booking. The pace is moderate, with short walks between stops through the medina's lanes. The tour is available year-round, and because most tasting stops are indoors or in shaded lanes, it remains comfortable in warm weather. Visitors should arrive with a good appetite, since the snacks and the main meal together make for a substantial amount of food.
