Additional Information

Let’s uphold our local enterprises. Marrakech is a haven for shopaholics, but navigating the thousands of stores nestled in a tangle of narrow streets can be daunting. Allow us to snag the ideal bargains for you.

To ensure you maximally benefit from the medina, your guide will escort you to the finest establishments, where local craftsmen create and vend exclusive traditional goods, excluding the touristic ones. Engage with creators who are experts in their industries, understand their family-run businesses, their craft, and sense their dedication to their profession.

At the onset of the 3-hour excursion, you’ll be questioned about the items you’re primarily drawn to, enabling your guide to craft a custom itinerary that aligns perfectly with your requirements.

As you scrutinize the shops, your guide will enlighten you about the clever tactics of bargaining. Familiarizing yourself with some essential Arabic terms and expressions will significantly uplift your shopping expeditions!

A portion of the tour’s profit contributes towards different entrepreneurial initiatives for local communities.

AMAZING - This was our first time at Marrakech and we didn't knew much of the place, prices, food etc. We had a tour with Youssef at the third day of our vacation but we wished we had done it sooner. Youssef is a very kind and honest man that showed us all of the best places of the city. If you wanted to buy something he made sure you would get the best prices. We even got to try some food and had a mint tea. We could not wished more of this tour. Thank you so much and we will reccomend this to all people coming to Marrakech!

Expert Shopping Guide in Marrkech - Youssef was a wonderful & gracious guide during our shopping trip in the Medina. He tailored the experience to our needs and gave us insightful history and guidance throughout the day. Even more important, he expertly negotiated on our behalf!

Who Doesn't Love Shopping With A Local? - Our time our with Youssef was great! He helped us find shops to buy items we were looking for while in Marrakech. He encouraged us to bargain but didn't really help with it. So if you're looking for someone to haggle for you, this is not what you want. He was able to give us highlights of the Medina while walking between Souks as well and answered our questions readily. Although I enjoyed our time I don't know if I'd recommend this tour to everyone. If you know what you are looking to buy, do your research and you can likely find it yourself but if you want a tour while also shopping this would tick that box.

Wouldn’t visit Marrakech market without Youssef - Simply put, I would not visit the markets in Marrakech without a guide and Youssef was the best. Lots of traders know him so they don’t bother you. He takes you to streets you’d never find alone. And his local knowledge is superb! HIGHLY recommended

Amazing intimate tour of the Medina - As many of the other reviews have said Youssef was a delightful guide around the medina and the souks. We were able to experience hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. Youssef was incredibly patient, kind and thoughtful with the information he provided and the shops he took us to. Loved it, don’t hesitate to book!

Essential for exploring the souks - Said was an expert guide giving us lots of cultural information as we went around the Souks. Took us to the merchants that were were most interested in and finished off with a drink in a roof top cafe. Certainly would have got lost without him x
