- Jardin Majorelle - Begin the tour with a visit to the renowned Majorelle Garden, a serene oasis close to the lively city, yet seemingly distant, protected by tall earthen walls. Discover its fascinating history, learn about its French-inspired architecture, and its ties to the legendary French designer Yves Saint Laurent and the celebrated painter/botanist Jacques Majorelle. Stroll along shaded paths, uncover exotic plants from dreamy origins, and pass by refreshing streams and pools adorned with water lilies and lotus flowers.
- Saadian Tombs - Next, proceed to the Royal Kasbah in the southern part of Marrakech’s ancient medina. Constructed by Sultan Almohad Mansour al-Yacoub, it houses “El Mansouria” (the grand mosque of the kasbah) and the Saadian Tombs. Visit the Saadian Tombs, which were discovered and restored in 1917. These tombs are a major attraction due to their exquisite decoration and are among the few remaining relics of the Saadian dynasty, which ruled during Marrakech’s golden age from 1524 to 1659.
- Bahia Palace - Continue to one of Marrakech’s most stunning palaces and monuments, the Bahia Palace. Built in the late 19th century, its name means “brilliance” and it was intended to be the greatest palace of its era. The finest workers and artisans in the country labored for six years (1894-1900) to complete it.
- Medina of Marrakesh - With a knowledgeable certified tour guide, enjoy an authentic walk through Marrakech’s old city.
Discover the hidden and genuine side of the ancient walled medina of Marrakech, wander through some of the oldest quarters, and learn about the medieval lifestyle of its residents and their daily activities. Admire the towering minaret, intricately carved archways, magnificent Moorish architecture, and ornate mosques. Explore the souks at the famous Djemaa El Fna square, where tightly packed stalls display exotic goods and fascinating crafts from Morocco’s history.
- Ben Youssef Madrasa - Built in the 14th century, this historic Islamic school in the heart of Marrakech was once the largest in North Africa and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Beauty and History in Marrakech - We had an amazing experience on our half day tour through Marrakech. The Marjorelle Garden's were simply gorgeous and the Bahia Palace and Ben Youseff school had beautiful architecture and historical significance. We skipped the tour through the souks, as we had a tour through them already. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience what makes Marrakech one of the most beautiful and intruging cities in the world! Thank you for your time and expertise!

The Kasbah of Marrakech - The guide assigned to us, YOUSSEF, was of exceptional education and kindness. He treated us with outstanding delicacy.
He conveyed his passion for Berber culture, his knowledge of dates, names and landmarks is out of the ordinary.
He didn’t shy away from any of the questions we asked them, answering with immediacy and fluency from Spanish.
The tour through the intricate streets of the Kasbah was tremendously interesting, where YOUSSEF stopped us at strategic points to explain everything we were encountering, from the areas organized by crafts, to doors, dawns (Fatima's hands are very curious), doors, arches, etc.
All right, Youssef, we'll keep you in mind for future trips to Marrakech, both me and my wife Fuen.

Exceptional - We had a fantastic half day guided tour with Aziz and Muhammad the driver. We chose the Jardin Majorelle, Koutoubia Mosque and Ben Youssef Medersa. Aziz was an absolute credit to the company. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and approachable. He made the tour informative without becoming dull and shared many insights into both the history as well as the culture of this amazing country.
We had a slightly longer tour of the Suk as our middle option of the mosque was a walk around the outside. He took us to several craftsman but there was no pressure to buy. He also took us to a Berber pharmacist who offered us tea whilst explaining the importance of herbal medicine in the Moroccan culture.
Aziz also recommended a beautiful rooftop restaurant at the end of the tour that was reasonably priced. One thing that stood out for me, was the way Aziz engaged with our two teenagers, making the tour irrelevant and interesting for them. Exceptional!
Also at 2 pm tour was a real advantage after a late night arrival the day before .

To have a dedicated guide... - To have a dedicated guide that knows the places and history well makes a difference. Transportation to take us from one place to the next is extremely convenient in Marrakesh

Awesome tour - Our guide was awesome, he gave us so many informations about Medina and palaces that we couldn’t know without him (in museums and palaces there aren’t any informations about what you are visiting). The minivan was new, with air conditioning and bottles of water. The guide answered to all our questions and the tour was tailored on us and our needs.

So Much to See!! - We had such a wonderful Tour with Hassan! We explored every area that was on my extensive list and then some! We had requested a particular restaurant for lunch and we were able to make that happen which was much appreciated. We learned SO much about Marrakech and Morocco which is always our goal when traveling.
I would suggest that if you book this Tour to specify whether or not you want to visit local merchants to hear about their particular wares. We were taken to about 4 different merchants in which we had no interest in buying anything so that was a bit of wasted time. We were firm in our refusal to buy anything and it was fine, but would rather have spent our time seeing more sights.
Overall it was a fantastic day with Hassan and a great introduction to Marrakech!

Half day tour - My wife and I did the private half day tour on a Saturday morning along with our guide Mohammed (Mo). We were picked up at the hotel in a van on time and we selected the Bahia Palace, Medersa Ben Youssef and a tour of the Medina/Kasbah. Mo was a very knowledgeable guide and gave us lots of detailed information about the sites, but didn’t quite seem like he wanted to be there. He also mentioned he had another tour all afternoon so perhaps a long day. Both the palace and the school were interesting to see and experience the history but not extremely exciting. We asked Mo if there were any museums we could see on our own after the tour and he said there were not. We liked our walk through Fna Square as it was bustling on the weekend (and even busier at night). There were lots of stalls of fruit as well as lots of very aggressive merchants trying to get your money for photos of their monkeys or snake charmers. Heads up, if they see you take a photo or even looking in their direction they will be all over you. The medina was also interesting but got quite claustrophobic at times with the tight spaces, hoards of people and all the motorbikes pushing directly through the crowds. We had mentioned to Mo at the beginning of the tour we weren’t interested in shopping but unfortunately he made sure to take us to several of his friend’s shops where we would get a quick demonstration of leather working or spice grinding, etc. followed by the pressure of being asked to buy something. Not the best impression when we specifically said we didn’t want that. At the end of our time we fought through the crowds to wait for our driver to pick us up and take us back to the hotel. Glad we saw the sites and a big perk of the tour was to have both transportation and our guide could skip the line to buy our tickets which was good on a busy Saturday.

Disappointing - We had a taciturn guide who didn't say much. The advantage was that he ushered us in with priority access to the Majorelle Gardens using online tickets. We received little to no information about the city or country.
