Beautiful - Excellent walk in the medina. A real maze, full of shops full of souvenirs, colorful spices, pretty kaftans, craftsmen...
Kindness is their main qualities. Do not hesitate to negotiate, they are very accessible.
Just watch your cell phones. We were very happy and serene.

Memories made for all of us! - For my families first trip to Morocco I wanted my 3 daughters to experience the hustle and bustle culture of Marrakesh’s medina, and I couldn’t be more happier with our tour guide Amid! We would have really struggled to navigate Our way round without his expertise and knowledge on the city’s history. Thanks to Amid we managed to do all the things we wanted to see and do…. From holding a monkey, seeing a cobra be charmed, having traditional henna, to learning about how the different products are made like leather bags, and Moroccan carpets. There was something memorable for all of us.

It's the souk! But organized - Of course, there is no aggression, Moroccans are benevolent. Of course we have to negotiate, that's the game..... A maze of endless alleys with shops for all tastes or bad tastes!

WALK THROUGH THE MARRAKECH MEDINA.... - Very interesting but the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul is more organized and with more variety of offers.
I do not agree with the Monkeys and Snakes in the Great Square of Marrakech because they martyr them caged in very small boxes.

Afternoon shopping in Marrakech - Taoufiq (+212 662‐267147€) accompanied us throughout our afternoon, he allowed us to avoid being approached and to help us negotiate prices. We highly recommend it

An experience - This was an experience! Lots of people everywhere all wanting you to buy there items but if you said no thank you they left you alone.
The little alleys to the souks were packed and it was amazing to see but chaotic with the amount of people, bikes and mopeds driving along the alley ways.
The smells were not all nice, wafts of piss, animal poo and god knows what else but the but the spices were a welcome relief.
I can imagine the souks are to everyone's taste but we enjoyed the bartering and culture.
Unique place and glad we got to visit it twice

Don’t let go of the item you buy! It’ll be switched right before your eyes! - Be careful that you walk away with what you paid for. We got ‘stung’ on two occasions in the same day at totally different shops/stalls so this is clearly a tactic that they have perfected.
1. Bought a kaftan for myself, tried on in the shop and loved it, we did the whole haggle thing and settled for a price. Slippery sales man handed kaftan to chap behind till to put in bag when I handed over the money, only for a different kaftan(same color) to be put in bag. Oh and they throw in a free wooden honey drizzler just to dazzle you further. Got back to hotel and the kaftan I now own has no stitching under the one of the armpits, the edges are frayed and the quality is really poor. Try taking it back to complain? No chance as there is no return policy in Morocco. Cash only remember!
2. Thought we’d buy a nice small lantern to go on our mantle, found the one we wanted, got the price we wanted. The salesman was super quick, he turned around for no more than a second to wrap in paper and put in a bag. We left and back at hotel discovered it had been switched for one of very poor quality and damaged. Damn! These sellers are super sneaky and lightning fast.
My advice is choose what you want buy , don’t let go of it, pay and leave. You don’t need the rubbish plastic bag they are going to put it in.

Medina and mopeds - So polluted by mopeds sneaking into the souk, he has the courage to ban this mode of transport.

Absolute disaster! - I have no memories of this trip other than the disaster of trying to find out why we were not picked up.
No communication prior to the trip even though I attempted to make contact to check everything was ok.
The morning if the trip we waited outside the hotel 10 minutes early. Just after 9.30 I sent another message. I then found a telephone number so sent a Messsge in WhatsApp. This was supposed to be the tour operator. They messaged back after about 10 minutes to tell us to contact another telephone number. By now I was not feeling this was a safe option.
I messaged Viator with my concerns. They said they could see my attempts to make contact and advised me to wait a bit longer. I agreed to wait until 10am. No one arrived. No reply to the message.
An absolute disaster. Then it took three and a half days of chasing Viator for my money back.
Just a dreadful experience and one I won’t be repeating!
