Best way to get to know Marrakech - As I'm writing this review a lot of beautiful memories bring me back to a historical tour of Marrakech with the exceptionally knowledgeable Elhoussine. This meticulously curated journey took us through the resplendent Bahia Palace, where Elhoussine's insightful commentary brought the intricate architecture and rich history to life. We then visited the Ben Youssef Madrasa, marveling at its exquisite tilework and serene courtyards, before exploring the vibrant Medina Souk, where Elhoussine expertly guided us through the bustling markets. This tour was an unforgettable immersion into Marrakech's storied past.

Perfect introduction to Marrakech - Brahim was a very polite, knowledgeable, and trustworthy guide. We booked a group walking tour in Marrakech to visit Bahia Palace, Market and Madrasa. However, we were the only ones on the tour so he customized it to our preferences. It was great way to see Marrakech for first timers. He gave us some history of the country and his roots from the Tuareg’s of the desert, as well as the historical context of each place we visited. He knew each corner of the Palace and Madrasa, including where to take a perfect photos! I really appreciated him showing authentic shops in the old market for herbs, leather, carpets, and caftans. If you want to see Marrakech from s local’s perspective, and have a personal guide/ smartphone photographer, book this tour with Brahim. He difinitely gave us a personal touch. It would strongly recommend him.

Nice tour of the Medina. - Lhoussinp was an excellent guide! Very informative tour, and he did a nice job keeping our group together.
My only criticism is that I think we spent too much time at the Pharmacie listening to a fairly hard sell of Moroccan products.

It’s A Shopping Tour - Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable unfortunately, we didn’t see much except for a ton of Riads and shops. What should have been 3hrs turned into an exhausting 6hr ordeal.
It’s clear everyone gets a cut of whatever you buy. We experienced a HUGE miscommunication when it comes to cost of goods.
