Highlights
  • Jardin Majorelle - The lovely and picturesque floral Jardin Majorelle, once owned and developed by Yves Saint Laurent, is the first stop on your Private City Tour. The garden was developed by a passionate plant collector and is now one of Marrakech’s most visited attractions, and with good reason. You’ll be able to roam around this cool sanctuary among trees and exotic plants with dreamy origins, pools loaded with water lilies and lotus blooms, and vibrantly colored earthen walls. Allow yourself to relax and appreciate the gentle smell filling the air as you escape the frenzied pace of the Red City!

Highly recommended to fit in top sites - Great tour with Hassan who met us at our Riad which was a huge bonus as we’d landed the night before and didn’t know our way around the maze of streets in the medina. He tailored the itinerary for us so we saw the right number of sites for us without feeling rushed. In the souks Hassan found the artisans that we were interested in and protected us from any pushy selling. He helped us with fast pass for Jardin majorelle and Medresa school so we bypassed all of the queues on an ordinary ticket, which saved us so much time in our day. We opted for the driver tour, rather than all on foot, so that also helped to fit plenty into the day. Hassan was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and his English is perfect. Great driver (Khalid), too.

Such a perfect day - We aren't the most confident of travellers but felt at ease with our guide Ismail. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot, not just about the history of the places we went but also how to navigate Marrakech and interact with the people. We particularly enjoyed our time in the Jardin Majorelle and exploring the souks. Ismail spoke perfect English and looked after us, even escorting us back to the shuttle bus.

Perfect mixture of structure and freedom in a tour - Hassan was an amazing tour guide. He made sure to ask us about our priorities for the tour before we started. This ensured that we were able to do everything we wanted. He also introduced us to many artisans that we never would have met on our own. It is very easy to get lost walking through the streets of Marrakech. We would not have been able to find all of the souls we were looking for with his guidance. He was very personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

Magnificent tour! - Our day tour of Marrakesh was absolutely amazing. Hassan is an excellent tour guide, so friendly and attentive, a great sense of humour - we felt comfortable and safe at all times. He shared so much knowledge about the historical sites, and the culture within the city and beyond in Marrakesh. We could not fault our day, it was perfect and we wish we could have stayed longer to see more - 100% recommend!!

Excellent tour for complete introduction. - Very good tour of many of the main tourist attractions in Marrakech as well as extensive exploration of the souks. Use of car for half of the day made a big difference but still quite a lot of walking. Excellent information from Hassan who bought tickets and skipped the queues.

Well worth it - Really great tour. Our guide, Mohammed, was extremely knowledgeable. Super impressed with his English considering he only learnt during Covid. Took us to places I know we would have got lost at. Well worth a go on this tour.

10/10 experience - Hassan was an impeccable tour guide and we had an absolutely fantastic day. We saw so many things. Much more than we would have been able to do by ourselves. He is a friendly and generous man and we are so grateful we had him as our guide for the day. Highly recommend this guided tour to anyone who wants to see the wonders of Marrakech!

Perfect day in spite of the rain - Thank you, Mohamed! We had such a nice day exploring Marrakech with Mohamed. It was POURING rain the entire day but we made the best of it! Mohamed said he'd always remember us as the "rain couple" as he's never done a tour in the rain in 23 years! We never would have see the beautiful sights of Marrakech on our own like we did with this tour. There are so many historical sights and so much beautiful architecture in the city and after talking about what we were interested in, he took us to the perfect places. I would highly recommend scheduling this tour on your first day in the city so you get a feel for everything there is to see and do. Mohamed is so knowledgeable and so friendly and we really enjoyed our day. Tip - bring cash for lunch, admission to historical sites, cabs (if you decide to use them), and shopping as he'll take you to some traditional shops, too

Nice walk, but not exiting - It was very convenient to walk around the city with a private guide and guide was very pleasant man. We saw main sites, however he didn’t link much them to one story and information wasn’t enough. There were lots of silent walks between sites, where we tried to ask stories about city, culture and traditions. As a result we didn’t get full picture of Marrakesh history and traditions. Also he decided not to go with us to Jardin Majorelle as there were nothing for him to explain about garden.
