Worthwhile tour! - Yousef picked us up from our Riad right on time. We started at the Jardin Majorelle and made our way leisurely to the other stops. Yousef is incredibly knowledgeable and he made visiting the stops so much more interesting, as without the history, looking at the beautiful architecture and buildings, eg the Bahia palace won't have made much sense. He spent much longer than 3 hours with us, answered all our questions and took beautiful photos of us at every location. He recommended good places to eat and made Marrakech come alive. A wonderful experience, would do it again!

A wonderful way to learn about the heart of the city. - We were a very small group, only 4 of us. We were guided by Khalid through the organised chaos of Marrakech, as he described it. He is very knowledgeable and shared so much information .He was very attentive to our needs

An incredible, personalised tour - book! - This is hands down the best guided tour I have ever been on. Our guide showed us places we never would have gone without his expertise and knowledge - a bakery, a hamman and tours throughout the soukes and tailored advice to shopping there. We expressed that we were interested in history, food and architecture and he tailored the tour to us. We visited various mosques and synagogues and discussed their history and the history of Marrakesh overall. We then visited the palace and was given a guided tour throughout - learning everything there was to know about the building, it’s artwork and history. The palace is beautiful and would definitely reccomend visiting. We walked throughout the jewish district, learning all about the atea and stopping to listen to some street performers on the way. We then visited the food markets and were taken to a restaurant to show how tangier is cooked and was able to try some lamb and olives there. The tour truly was the locals experience of marrakesh and the medina and I encourage anyone to book immediately if you are looking for a tour of the city. I haven’t stopped smiling about it since! Thankyou for such an amazing experience.

Magical Marrakech - Our guide Khalid was so full of interesting facts and it made our visit to Marrakech so worthwhile .telling us facts that we could not have known without his input nor in any guidebook. He took time and effort to pace our visit as we were walking with a young family whose little girl walked the entire circuit without a complaint and ourselves an older couple . We enjoyed the magical medina and the facts about the amazing Palace. Khalid made sure we were safe and hydrated and not approached by hawkers ..we had a great morning exploring magical Marrakech with Khalid ..look out for him (and our driver too ..he deserves a medal negotiating traffic near the square on what must have been rush hour !

Amazing walking tour - This tour was really great! They are starting as a city tour agency. They made sure our experience was personalized and gave us a historical tour throughout the city over 4h. From the smooth pick up at the hotel, to the very knowledgeable, kind and patient guide Khalid. It was very enjoyable to walk around Marrakech and see some hidden gems such as community bakeries. We had an amazing experience seeing, smelling, learning and feeling the culture of Marrakech with Khalid. I would recommend them 100% for the 5 star experience.

Great Marrakech guided city tour - We had an excellent guided tour and saw all the highlights. The guide was very friendly, took his time to explain everything and spoke excellent English. We were with 2 kids (5 and 10) and they also liked it. The guide was also very flexible in what we wanted to visit. Very recommended when you are in Marrakech!

Fantastic and reliable guides and drivers - We spent 2 days with Rachid and Yousef as our drivers and guides. Both were fantastic. They are protective of their clients and honest beyond doubt. We also used them for our airport drop off and they provided prompt, efficient and economic service. We highly recommend them to all tourists as reliable, professional and trustworthy guides.
