The best tour of Marrakech, hands down! - My sister, a friend and myself partook of the "Marrakech Hidden Sides" tour for our first ever time in this city and it was *outstanding*. We were introduced to secret nooks, unforgettable people, age-old traditions, went behind the scenes at the souk and saw other Marrakechi ways of life that we would never have been otherwise privy to, on a standard tour. Our guide Abdul grew up in the Red City, he *is* Marrakech, and knows its winding streets and alleys like the back of his hand. He is a clever, informative and patient individual, taking his time with us and being patient in answering our many, many questions!
I have traveled to dozens of countries around the world, and this tour was easily one of the best I have ever had the privilege of being a part of. Not only did Marrakech became easier for us to navigate, but we were able to garner a deeper understanding of its remarkable nature. Should I ever have the good fortune of returning to the Red City, I will look no further than Marrakech Guided Tours. Thank you again, Abdul!

Architecture, religion, art and culture all in one tour - We greatly enjoyed this private walking tour by Abdul, a life-long Marrakech resident. He did a combo arts and crafts and hidden sides tours. We learned and saw so much more than wandering on our own. We went off the tourist path in the souks to see the artists at work. Highly recommended!

A truly enriching and authentic experience in Marrakech - We were lucky to join Abdul for a guided walk of about 3.5 hours — and it turned out to be a true highlight of our stay. Abdul guided us with great knowledge and kindness through the maze of alleys and hidden corners of the Medina — places you would likely never find on your own as a regular tourist.
What made this tour so special was not only the historical context and smooth communication, but above all the feeling of truly gaining insight into the daily life of the city. Abdul intuitively understands what his guests are interested in, adjusts his narrative accordingly, and answers every question with enthusiasm and depth.
What we especially appreciated was that the tour didn’t feel like a commercial “walk through the souk”, but rather like an authentic encounter. From watching local artisans at work to stumbling upon a surprisingly beautiful viewpoint — Abdul manages to fully immerse you in the spirit of Marrakech.
We can wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover this fascinating city in a respectful and meaningful way. Thank you, Abdul, for an unforgettable afternoon!

Great tour to start our holiday in Marrakech - Excellent and insightful tour by our guide, Abdul. He was able to answer our questions, and share perspectives. He helped us make several purchases in the marketplace, including clothing and jewelry. It is enjoyable to be with a guide that really wants you to understand their culture, and has a pleasant demeanor. Abdul seemed very perceptive as to what my husband and I would find of interest, and the tour was everything we wanted to do and learn. My son and daughter-in-law had recommended Abdul and this tour from their experience in Marrakech. We highly recommend it as a great first day in Marrakech activity, as you will also get a feel for the city.

Phenomenal Experience - We cannot recommend Abdul enough. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Marrakech and worked to provide unique experiences throughout the Medina. Abdul was accommodating of our requests and emphasis on history that we wanted. He took us to the medina to specific stores for argan oil, spices, etc. and also gave us specific experiences (i.e., going to baker, pottery studio, etc.). Highly recommend spending the day with Abdul!
