A Memorable Afternoon - This was an amazing tour. I don’t usually do these sort of things. We usually do our own research. However on this occasion so pleased I decided to book the Guide. Fetthah was hugely knowledgeable and his English was first class. He answered questions in a methodical unhurried manner. His kind and caring manner put everybody at ease. I also cleaned a huge amount of information and respect of the Muslim Faith and Ramadan. Would definitely use this facility again for a different sort of tour. The information offered in regard of the Logistics was also first class offering accurate information on meeting and good updates for your WhatsApp. Thanks again Fetthah!

Life time experience - We had an amazing day exploring Marrakech with our guide Fatah, and it truly was the best experience ever. He was friendly, professional, and very passionate about Moroccan culture and history.
Walking through the stunning Bahia Palace with him was incredible — he pointed out small details we would never have noticed on our own. The visit to Ben Youssef Madrasa was just as impressive, and Fatah explained the history of this historic school in a really interesting way.
Thanks to him, we learned so much while having a fantastic time. Highly recommended!

Worth doing - Great communication from the tour company via Whats app and when the time had to be changed the information was clear. At times it was hard to hear the guide, not his fault as its busy, maybe consider getting audio tour headphones as at times the group were lost and trying to find places to discuss the relevant landmarks in the quiet was challenging. Be prepared for a lot of walking , very good guide Lahcen El Boulmani and his English was good. Worth doing just for the fact you get to skip the lines too !

Ok - Tour itinerary is good, but Abdesamd's story telling was not great. We were in a group of 5 from different countries, all well educated people, and we all struggled to follow his train of thought. The tour also lasted two hours longer than expected, he seemed to take us to shops/markets of friends encouraging to buy things

Read what is included!!!! - You pay ONLY for the guide!!!! And check the ticket prices because they always try to take more!!!! We had to try to follow him in the medina because they wanted to hurry because of Ramadan which was not safe with children...However, the guide was excellent when he talked about his subject.
