Wonderful intro to Marrakech with a knowledgeable and lovely tour guide! - Nora was a wonderful tour guide! Super knowledgeable and just a lovely, warm personality. We saw so many sites and areas of the souks that we would not have seen otherwise, and it was a fantastic way to get ourselves grounded in the history and culture as our intro to the city before striking out on our own. Highly recommended!!

Medina tour with Noura - Noura was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. I highly recommend booking Noura for your first day in Marrakesh. She took us on a 4.5 hour tour of the Medina and gave us an overview of the city and culture. A tour of the Medina is a must!

Discovering Marrakesh with Noura as our guide! - Noura is a great guide. We met at our Riad she took the time to inventise our interests. She came up with a tailor-made plan and showed us the Medina in a perfect relaxed pace, educating us about history, religion, culture and every day life..in a way that it all came together and made sense. We talked a lot. We saw Kasbah, Mellah and finally the souks.. also beyond the touristic streets and shops and into the area's where artisans were doing their magic with wood, metal, leather, embroidery. End of our day together, Noura 'taught' us how to bargain. But we didn't really need the skills.. as the salesman said: "You are with her, I wouldn't dare give you the wrong price with Noura by your side" :) We had a great day. Nora is a down to earth, knowledgeable, intelligent woman with good sense of humor. I would recommend a tour with her to anyone visiting Marrakesh and for my next visit I will definitely ask her to also guide me (and my family) to the mountains, berber villages and the desert.

Great 2 days with Noura in Marrakech! - Our family loved our two days with Noura! We spent one day In Marrakech and one day visiting some Berber villages in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains nearby. The pre-tour communications were timely and helpful to express our interests and customize our experience. Noura was also very willing to answer our questions about local customs (eg Ramadan, appropriate attire), popular sights, and what to expect during our tour. Noura was also great with our two elementary aged kids - adjusting the content and flow of the tour to meet our family’s needs. It was also fascinating to hear Noura’s perspective on life in Morocco and the changes she has observed during her 20+ years in the tourism industry in Morocco. Thanks for a great experience!

Phenomenal tour, phenomenal guide - Ismael, one of Noura's co-workers, could not have been a better guide. He was so knowledgeable about Moroccan history, architecture and culture; had such excellent English, Arabic and French; a great photographer; a warm heart; an ambassador for his country and people; and beloved by nearly everyone in the city. He brought us to amazing shops, the Bahia Palace, the Jewish Quarter, the Berber Market, Jemma el-Fnna and many other attractions. We couldn't recommend him enough. He and his tour were one of the highlights of our trip!

Wonderful Introduction to Marrakech! - Noura was a great guide!!! We learned so much about Marrakech and Moroccan life. We like to ask lots of questions and Noura was happy to answer them all, even if they had nothing to do with the tour. She showed us areas we would have walked right past but added so much to our experience. We arranged in advance to combine this tour with her food tour and it was a great combination. She knew restaurants/food vendors that were great! We definitely recommend Noura and will hire her again if we return to Marrakech!

One day in Marrakech - Our first time in Marrakech was overwhelming at first, but once we met our guide Noura she explained how to navigate the Medina. She walked us around the area visiting the Palace of Bahia, the gardens, the souks at the main square, and so much more. Noura told us about the history of the area and explained Islam which is important to understanding the culture of Morocco. She had a great itinerary planned for us but wanted us to see anything that interested us along the way. This was an incredible experience and Noura made us feel comfortable the entire time in this amazing city.

Not worth it - This was OK but not worth it. All sites are walkable. I booked the driving tour but that was not necessary as it was just a few minutes in tuktuk and the rest was walking anyways. Tour seemed more about guide taking you to vendors and pressuring you to buy things at inflated prices (likely to get their own cut of the profits). I don’t understand all of the 5 star reviews.
