What's Included
  • Expert guide
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.

Friendly, Impressive, Unforgettable and Knowledgeable ⭐️ - We went on a shopping tour of the souk with Youssef. It was very easy, he made contact with us prior to the trip and arranged an easy place to meet as the starting point. Youssef is very kind and helpful and guided us through the souks giving us lots of historical information and answered all our questions about the souls and Morocco. He also took us to places we would never have found in the maze. Youssef taught us the etiquette of Morocco and how to meet and haggle in the souk. We had an idea of what we would like to buy and he took us to some stalls that would suit what we wanted and introduced us to the owners and; helping us to buy the items of our dreams. We are so grateful to Youssef, for his kindness and time. A true gentleman ⭐️ Would highly recommend!

Thoughtful and personalized tour - Had a great tour of the souks with Youssef! He was very knowledgeable about the different areas of the souks and made sure to take us through a variety of places to really get a complete experience. The shops he took us in treated us so well and he made sure to tell us not to feel pressured about buying things and to let him know anything that interested us. As we walked it seemed like he knew every person on the street and he is clearly very loved and respected. He responded thoughtfully to our questions about culture and overall was a pleasure to spend the morning with!

Amazing, personalized experience and best tour we did in Morocco - WOW, look no further for any tour of Marrakech souks and markets. Youseff was literally amazing and exceeded all of our expectations for this private tour shopping in the souks. He knows fluent English and was an amazing guide to have on our first day in the city. He introduced us and showed us around all parts of the market and gave us so much knowledge and advice for our time in Morocco, and it seemed like he knew every artisan and shop owner in the souks! He was also very patient as we shopped and decided what we wanted, and he was also able to barter for us a bit to ensure we got the best prices. I am SO GLAD we booked this tour and it will remain one of my best memories during my trip. We also felt so much more at ease and confident after this tour to go explore the souks more on our own after this because of all the advice he gave us. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUSEFF for your time and knowledge!!

A Beautiful Tour With a Knowledgeable Guide - Youssef gave the most incredible tour of the souks! He was so professional, kind, and patient while my friend and I shopped and explored the infinite shops. He was so knowledgeable about all of the product offerings and was understandably respected by all we came in contact with. If you are looking for a safe, expertly guided experience, this is the tour for you. We learned about the country's history and rich culture while interacting with the skilled artisans within the many shops. This tour honestly made the entire trip to Marrakech so worth it and I look forward to coming back very soon! Thank you so so much Youssef <3 Aliyah

Best Souks Shopping Tour! - I had such a wonderful souks tour with Ismail! He showed our small group so many things, educated us about everything, told us what to look out for and showed us authentic Moroccan food. He treated us like longtime friends and was extremely hospitable! I can only recommend the tour and Ismail!

Perfect tour of Marrakesh souks - Youssef was a great tour guide. I had the luxury of being the only guest during this morning tour, meaning I had a private guide. Youssef took me through the souks of Marrakesh and many interesting points of history. He was knowledgeable in Moroccan history from past to present. He was very open to take me to shops I wanted to see. Moreover we had interesting conversations about the world, politics, climate, religion, life, children and more, while finishing the tour over Moroccan tea.

Unbreathable - Unbreathable! I had a very good memory of the Marrakech souk and there it became unbearable, motorbikes and mobile phones lined up in the smallest alley of the souk. Maximum pollution and noise pollution. Too bad, I will go to Fez where motorbikes are prohibited.
