Great way to see Marrakech in a day! - Youssef was an excellent tour guide and gave us a great full day highlight tour of Marrakech. He has decades of experience and shared a lot of history and facts with us about Marrakech and Morocco overall. He took us through some incredible streets in the Medina that we likely wouldn’t have navigated ourselves, including special visits to bread makers, shoe makers, weavers and other handicraft makers. He was also transparent around which sites would make sense to see with him vs seeing on our own later, which we really appreciated. His English was also great. Highly recommend booking with Youssef!

Excellent tour - We spent a lovely morning with Youseff, being shown around the sights in Marrakesh. He tailored the tour to the areas were most interested in seeing. His tour was both informative and interesting. I’d definitely recommend booking a tour with him!

Great walking tour - Yusef is an exceptional guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and easily able to adapt his plans to some of our preferences. He was able to keep our 7 year old engaged and interested, as well as her parents. Among the cool things we got to see were a local baker, baking bread for the residents' homes, an in-progress leather auction in one of the souks, and some unique shopping.

Marrakech Insider! - Youssef guided us to some of the historical sites of Marrakech including the La Bahia Palace and the Saadian tombs. He is an excellent guide. He speaks very good English and is a native of Marrakech. He is very knowledgeable. We were also able to converse with him about many aspects of Moroccan culture. He helped us understand the country and it's people better. We would highly recommend Youssef to anyone who wants to know Marrakech better.

Amazing experience - Yusef was recommended to me by a friend and he delivered a 5* service. He led me and my family - old and young - on an amazing tour of the medina including a stunning museum, souks and hidden secrets which would have otherwise missed. A true gentleman and immensely knowledgeable, I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much Yusef!

Wonderful Tour of Marrakesh - We were a little apprehensive about visiting the Souks of Marrakesh as we had visions of being pulled this way and that by feisty locals! With Yousef it was a totally different experience, we visited areas of Marrakesh we would never have found on our own and his extensive knowledge of the area made the tour fascinating! We visited museums, blacksmiths and a whole range of local vendors making hand crafted goods and were not pushy at all! Thanks Yousef!

Bahia Palace, Markets and Great seafood tour! - Did a half day solo guided tour with Yousef. He tailored the walking tour to my interests, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. At the end of the tour we even enjoyed lunch together at an authentic fired seafood stall!

Fantastic walking tour of secret areas of Marrakech - Yuseff was full of knowledgeable and amusing information. He took us to many out of the way and interesting places. He was very friendly and introduced us to many crafts people who were not pushy but were very entertaining and informative. He even treated us to some lovely pomegranate juice and gave us some sound advice. Thank you.

Fabulous Yusef - Fantastic tour with knowledgable Yusef! We had a half day (4 hour) walking tour with Yusef, he was so pleasant, informative, shared with us interesting facts about the history, culture and life-style of Marrakesh. He took us to a wonderful tranquil museum and we had time to wander around alone and then to the best souks - off the main tourist grid. Excellent guide, highly recommend him- he even bought us refreshments- thanks Yusef!!😁
