Highlights
- Hôtel Restaurant Café de France - Most of the city’s architectural attractions are inside the medina, the old walled part of the city. Built in the 12th century, the Koutoubia Minaret is the most perfect Islamic religious structure in North Africa. The famous monument dominates the skyline and can be easily spotted from all over Marrakech.
Hidden behind high walls are the Saadian Tombs. The mausoleum displays a very high level of decoration, using traditional stuccowork and Granada-style carvings, typical of classical Moroccan buildings.

Great tour to see some of the key sights in a good amount of time. - Our guide was mohamed, a local man with years of experiences in tours of Marrakesh. mohamed was very knowledgable and very willing to answer extra questions and assist with general info about Marrakesh such as safe areas, where to get a taxi from etc. Would highly recommend. Don’t forget the extra 7 Euros for each entrance. We visited the tombs and Palace - well worth paying the entrance fee. If you want a guided tour of Marrakesh then would definitely recommend. Easy central pick up point.

Wonderful tour! - This was an incredible introduction to this one of a kind city.
Mohamed gives an in depth and thorough walk through the city, helping us get familiar with it and pointing out lots of things that only a local would know.
His passion for his country and city shine and we are so glad we spent a day in his wonderful company.
He also arranged a three valleys tour into the Atlas Mountains with youssef which was amazing. Youssef took us up into the mountains and showed us the local camels, crafts, and food and then a guide took us on a hike into the mountains.
Both are days we will never forget.
Thank You So much & See you soon my friends.

A great way to see the highlights of Marrakech! - We opted for a private tour and were pleased that we did. Our tour guide 'mohamed' was great, Very friendly and warm, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He encouraged us to ask any questions and had a good sense of humour and kept the tour light-hearted and fun. We were provided with lots of information and saw the highlights of Marrakech and learned a lot about the history and culture in just three hours. Definitely recommend!

Get a guide - Really enjoyed the tour, and the Palace in particular with its lovely mosaics and intricate plaster work. Enjoyed learning about its colourful history.
Also really enjoyed learning about the saadian tombs and the history of royalty from there and how that impacted on the city, Morocco and all of Africa!
Our guide Mohamed was extremely knowledgable Spoke very well english and answered our many questions with enthusiasm and with much detail. He also pointed out a shop with reasonable prices for cold drinks and a restaurant with reasonable prices for lunch.
Would definitely recommend.
