Do This Your First Day, Sets The Tone - This is a must do for anyone visiting Marrakech and planning to engulf themselves in the true Moroccan culture. Major tip one, do this the first full day you arrive. It will bring you up to speed on the pace and tips to navigate the Medina as well as the key instagram worthy hot spots. Major tip two, request Hassan. Hassan and our driver Kareem are able to get your tickets to avoid lines, cut the long lines, and negotiate fair prices. They speak perfect English, Hassan talks slightly fast, but will repeat himself when needed. They come to your Riad or hotel and it’s first class all the way. For the whole day. Major tip three, start as early as possible. Things get crowded and the good photo ops are easy to jam up. Wear your best walking shoes, because everything in Marrakesh involves walking at some point and stairs at another. Hassan will also follow up with you in WhatsApp for any thing you may regret not doing or any tips on other excursions. He has good relationships with the community, and he prides himself in shielding his guests from any hassle/haggle vibes. More importantly the Medina is filled with friendly people who love to converse with tourists. Major tip four, watch yourself. Scooters are allowed every where in this city, even side walks. Be careful when crossing streets and alley ways.

An excellent introduction to Marrakesh! - My wife and I had an excellent half day tour of Marrakesh with Hassan, who was extremely knowledgable and attentive to our needs. We would absolutely recommend Hassan to anyone who is looking for a first glimpse of Marrakesh in comfort.

Highlights of Marrakesh - Our guide was Mustafa who was an absolutely fantastic guide! A really well balanced tour seeing all the highlights of Marrakesh as well as the souks and local tradespeople in a lovely air conditioned car and friendly driver. Mustafa brought Marrakesh alive for us with lots of interesting information and stories. He looked after our family and made sure that we were all comfortable and having a good time. Would definitely recommend.

Marvellous Marrakech - We were collected from our hotel and had a fabulous time with our tour guide Rachid in an air conditioned car. Rachid was so helpful and knowledgeable. We learnt a lot about the culture and history of Marrakech. The Majorelle Garden was stunning. Not sure we would have found our way back from the colourful, scentful Souks without Rachid's help! We wouid highly recommend this tour.

Magical - Hassan, makes Marrekesch come alive with his knowledge, humour and he is very efficient, organized and ensures that time is used well. His tour has been the best part Of my trip to Morocco and I can highly recommend him. Thanks for your kindness and care Hassan!

Fantastic day with Hassan! - We had a wonderful experience with Hassan! He provided such attentive and professional service. He started by asking us what our needs and wants were and then delivered them all! It was our first time and day in Morocco and what a great way to start by spending it with Hassan. He is warm and caring and knowledgeable about Morocco and its history and culture. Having a private tour with Hassan is the only way to go - we very much recommend it!

Tour around Marrakesh - Tour guide was lovely, he was knowledgeable and gave us lots of history during our tour. It was a packed tour. There was a lot to see. it was a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes. The last stop on the tour was the gardens which was fabulous. The only down side was that the guide took us to a rug vendor in the souk. I felt like I had to purchase a rug. It would have been better if the guide asked us what we wanted to see. Other wise it was a wonderful tour. I would highly recommend.

Half day tour - Rachid is well informed, patient and kind. We got more than expected out of the tour. We really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended!!

Most amazing experience - Amazing tour with the best guide ever. I truly recommend everyone to do the private tour, to visit the most beautiful spots in Marrakech and learn the history in a the most nice and fun experience. Recommend it 10/10 with your friends or loved one

Half the day spent with scammy, aggressive shopkeepers - The guide Mustafa is very knowledgeable and friendly and used to be the official guide for many upscale hotels. However, when I paid the $350 price for the day tour I expected to be insulated from any unpleasantries. This was not the case. Although we skipped the line at the historic sites I wanted to visit, we spent half the day visiting “his friends shops” whose owners made me feel very uncomfortable. At two out of the 5 shops we visited, the clerk grabbed my arm as I was making my way to leave demanding that I give them a “final price” or “give me your best price”. One of them followed me down the block and did this in the street which I found to be extremely upsetting especially after I made it very clear I did not intend to buy anything. I had hoped for $350 that the guide would be able to prevent or at least put a stop to this behavior, but he conveniently turned a blind eye in these cases. In the US, this is considered assault but in Morocco it is apparently considered standard business conduct and guides clearly have a deal with these shops and most likely profit from it. I would not return and certainly not pay this kind of money to be subjected to violence.
