A perfect way to experience Marrakech - We only had one day in Marrakech before heading out to the desert. Since we were short on time, rather than explore ourselves, we opted to book a full day tour with Abdul that combines his hidden sides and arts & crafts tours. He met us right outside our riad and guided us through the medina, stopping at historical sites on the way to the souks. We learned a lot about the history of the Morocco and Marrakech, and heard about his time growing up in the area we explored. Afterward, he took us to a TON shops in the souks based on our interests, not stopping until we had checked everything we wanted off our souvenir list! At the shops, he assisted in haggling and made sure we got a good deal on the things we wanted to purchase. We also stopped for lunch at a small restaurant in the middle of the souks that we never would have found on our own, where we had the best beans and lentils of the trip. I highly recommend booking a tour with Abdul if you want to have a super friendly local guide you through town!

A must in Marrakech - A tour is a must when going to Marrakech and we were in such great hands with Abdul. He was easy to communicate with ahead of time and tailored our day to what we wanted to get out of it. He even took us to lunch where the locals enjoy typical Moroccan cuisine. The entire day was inspiring, interesting and fun, and we finished the day with far more knowledge than before. Thank you Abdul!

Arts and crafts of Marrakech - The tour with Abdul through the Souks of Marrakech was amazing, a full day walking tour which was worth every minute spent, Abdul showed us all of the different areas of the Souks and introduced us to some of the amazing craftsmen and women that were making and selling goods within the souks.The entire place is a spectacle of beautiful crafts and colour and is something we will never forget, just wish we could have bought more things to take home ! We cannot recommend Abdul enough he is a wonderful guide with a great sense of humour and we shall definitely meet up with him again when we return.

The perfect morning in the souks - Abdul was the perfect guide. I spent a relaxed, informative and beautiful morning walking through the souks of Marrakesh. I felt safe and welcomed by any traders that we approached and Abdul helped me with pricing and haggling where needed. With the souks being so huge and with such a huge volume of traders, I would say that an introduction with Abdul is an absolute must for anyone new to Marrakesh.

Amazing tour in the souks - Thank you Abdul for that amazing tour! We really enjoyed it and my mom loves the beautiful crafts that she found during the tour with you. We would have been so lost in the Medina without you! Will book again next time!
