A wonderful walking tour - This was one of the best walking tours we have been on. Azim was so informative and interesting. His stories were so good, and took us to places in Marrakech Souk we would never have found. He supplied us with water and even bought us tea. Even told us stories about his family, how he met his wife, and all about his teenage daughter. I would definitely suggest getting a tour with Azim, you will miss so much if you only walk around by yourself.

Like a Tour with Family - It is safe to say that I have been on a great many tours over the last few years and I have to say that the tour with Mohamed was more like a walk around Marrakech with an insightful family member rather than being simply shown buildings by a stranger. Mohamed made us feel immediately at home and welcome in a city that can be easily be seen as hostile and uninviting to strangers. We were shown sights and introduced to shopkeepers that were friendly and welcoming rather than pushing their goods and reaching into your pockets. The time flew by and it was a great way to spend the morning. I highly recommend taking this hidden gem of a tour with an experienced guide and an overall genuine person.

Informative and fun tour - Knowledgable, insightful, honest and friendly, our guide was the perfect introduction to the medina. Helping us avoid the tourist crowds, he gave my family a great tour of Marrakesh, which both adults and kids loved.

A lovely welcoming start to Marrakech - This was the perfect tour for us newcomers to Marrakech. It gave us the time to ease into the busy city which can be quite overwhelming. Azim is very calm and took us slowly through the souks, we were a small group and we were able to see hidden places like the large ovens where people bring their food to be cooked.
We stopped for mint tea at a local food stand and Azim urged us to spend the time just taking it all in. We also were told stories linked to the places we visited.
The souks are a maze but we were guided through them away from the main busy area into the area of the artisans. The blacksmith souk was intriguing. Thank you to Azim for the perfect start to our Marrakech visit. Shukran!!

Discover a magical city with a magical guide. You won’t regret it! - We had the most wonderful time with Azim. Couldn’t have had a better guide to introduce us to this fascinating city! Unlike other guides he delved deep into the mentality of the Moroccan people. He was kind, patient and obliging. Couldn’t reccomend more!

Simply Outstanding - See the Real Marrakech - From the moment we booked Muhammad made contact, ensuring we had everything for the tour. We were greeted with a smile, warm handshake and an great introduction on what to expect.
We walked through the median, Souks, visited gateways, a bakery in action, tasted fresh bread, saw the ovens deep in the ground for the tagines, and costed the real history of Marrakesh.
Muhammad guides with grace and expertise to ensure you are safe, have a great experience and know more about the culture and history than when you arrived.
He is passionate and caring to ensure you know the real Marrakesh and have a fantastic experience.
I would recommend to anyone visiting. Top tip, do the tour early in your stay and you have a better understanding of the cities layout and confidence moving around.

Best tour of hidden sights in Marrakesh! - Muhammad is an amazing tour guide with fantastic commentary on history, as well as excellent communication and highly knowledgeable on all topics he was asked about.

Before a you book anything... book this half day wond - One of the best and most informative tours I have taken while in Marrakesh!
Muhammad made this trip such a success that I have already recommended it everyone that has asked for recommendations for things to while in Marrakesh.
You not have any regrets while booked this tour, at all.
Unnecessary to look elsewhere as Muhammad is such a great tour guide and absolutely nothing is an issue for him.
This trip is also highly accessible for people with disabilities and I highly recommend it above all others.
