Amazing tour with an excellent guide - The tour exceeded all my expectations. Wonderful finding out the history from our very knowledgeable and accommodating guide Hassan. There aren't enough words to describe how enjoyable this tour was. Highly recommend people add this tour for an authentic taste of Marrakesh.

Fun! - It was a great way to learn more about the local culture and history. Youssef has good knowledge and a great sense of humor, it was a very enjoyable experience. Advanced level of Spanish and English too, highly recommended ☺️

Exploring the hidden Marrakesh - We had a wonderful tour of the Medina of Marrakesh with Abdel. We saw so much more than we had seen walking around on our own 2 days before. I particularly enjoyed the hidden local aspects. Abdel was very knowledgeable and welcoming, would highly recommend his tour

Marrakesh Medina and Souks - It’s well worth having a guide to navigate the souks and avoid the scammers. There are quite a few but once they know you’re with a Guide they back off.
Abdul was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He took us to places we would have walked straight past…the community bakery and various workshops.
He answered all of our questions and was very accommodating.
As with any of these trips be prepared to be taken to certain stalls to be give a ‘free talk/demonstration.’ You aren’t under any pressure to buy anything…😂😂

Excellent - The tour was excellent! Jamal was very patient and informative. The private car was a plus for moving to the Marjorelle gardens and other places a little bit quicker. Recomended!

Navigate Medina Artisan shops with a Guide - Our guide, Ali, was an energetic pro who escorted us on a brisk and colorful tour of the Medina. We had the option to tour the Ben Youssef Medersa and the Musee de Marrakech which we did and recommend (small additional entrance fees). Ali is a story teller and shared information in between the 5 authentic artisan shops we visited (leather, lamps, rugs, herbs/oils/spices and jewelry). This was an enjoyable, educational and no pressure shopping experience. We appreciated navigating the Medina with an expert. We taught Ali about college football—Roll Tide!

Stop scrolling & book this company! 11/10 recommend! - Mohammad met us promptly at 1pm for our private tour. He was very knowledgeable and took us to places we would’ve never found or been comfortable browsing on our own. He also catered our tour to our specifications, including taking us to the Secret Garden. He was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and did not rush us when we wanted to walk around (Ben Youssef school for example). He is a local and grew up in the Medina so he is well known around the Medina. Every place he took us in the souks there was no pressure to buy. The artisans he took us to were kind and educated us on their craft. Stop scrolling other tours and book with a trusted company. Mohammad studied 5+ years to learn his craft as a tour guide and it is reflected in his top quality tour! Thank you Mohammad! @tastetravelunravel

Informative but expensive - Our guide was very knowledgable about the Souks but we didn’t see all of the sights listed in the itinerary. I feel like we didn’t get what we paid for and it was very expensive for what we got.
