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.

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.

Just ok - Tour was just ok. Marrakech can be intimidating so good to tour with a local. The guide was personable and knew the streets of the Medina well. However, the tour was light on information and too long. Stopped by a pharmacy for 30mins which wasn’t on the itinerary - assuming guide got % of any purchases made by tour participants.
