Thanks, Abdel for the great Marrakech tour yesterday! - We did as a small family a city tour by foot yesterday with Abdel and it was a wonderful experience. Abdel is a friendly, open, warm person with a lot of insights. He explained everything we wanted to know and even took care of our 9 years old son. Recommended;-)

Medina Alleys Tour including Quranic School and Bahia Palace. - We had the best time! Abdel was really friendly and hugely informative, taking us through the Medina and teaching us about the history and culture of Morocco. If you ever find yourself with a few hours to spare in Marrakech this tour is highly recommended.

Awesome experience - Best choice , best city tour Exploring Marrakech on a city tour with my partner was a sensory journey through an ancient oasis. Abdel was really great and very knowledgeable, he was very professional and gave us time.Wandering hand in hand through the labyrinthine alleys of the medina, we were captivated by the vibrant tapestry of sights and sounds. The tranquil beauty of the Saadian Tombs provided a serene contrast to the bustling streets, offering a moment of quiet reflection amidst the city's tumult. As evening fell, we were drawn to the magical atmosphere of Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where we lost ourselves in the swirling energy of storytellers and street performers. Our romantic evening culminated in a rooftop dinner overlooking the city skyline, where we savored the flavors of Moroccan cuisine as the sun dipped below the horizon. Tip for couples: Embrace spontaneity and allow yourselves to get lost in the maze-like streets—it's all part of the adventure. And don't forget to steal a kiss amidst the enchanting chaos of the medina. Thank you Abdel

Wonderful day touring with Abdel! - We asked Riad Esmeralda manager Youssef, (also excellent) to arrange a private guide and he connected us to Abdel. We immediately hit it off with his genuine and warm personality and sense of humor. After all, we are on vacation and we wanted to have fun! We were so impressed with his knowledge of history, local connections and caring nature. He took such good care of us, taught us so much, and the time flew by. By the end, Abdul felt like family. We highly recommend him.

Best guide ever - The tour was very informative. We have learn manything about Morocco culture and as well some valuable knowledge about the culture and customs here in Marrakech. We did the bahia palace and we had a herbal experience in one of the Berber pharmacies and then the quranic school and crossed different sections in the market. Our guide Abdel was the best guide ever And he was so professional and knowledgeable and most of that he was funny.

A stroll around Medina - Abdel was great! I was only in Marrakech for a couple of days and wanted to get acquainted with a lot of the local must sees in Medina. Abdel gave me a private tour. He was informative, patient, and a great joy to be around. He took time to explain background and historical information. We toured the souk and le jardin secret (the secret garden) to name a few. While we toured the souks, we stopped at some merchants and they discussed their trade. I highly recommend.
