Must-do tour in Marrakech - Our walking tour with Mouhssine was the highlight of our trip to Marrakech. Mouhssine has such a vast knowledge of the city and its people, and we found the tour very interesting and also entertaining. There was a lovely natural flow to the whole time, walking through different parts and seeing hidden gems. A trip to this city must start with this tour with Mouhssine - 100% recommended!

MAGINIFICO TOUR WITH AN EXCELLENT GUIDE - We had been recommended to Mohussine some friends in Spain and we were very happy to have done the Medina tour of Marrakech.
Mihussine speaks perfect Spanish, is very friendly and has explained everything perfectly.
My wife and I already knew Marrakech but we had never visited it with a guide and it is worth it. The children (10 and 12) have really liked it and have learned a lot of things that help them understand the city better.

Memorable Walking Tour - My friend and I recently visited Marrakesh and decided to arrange a tour of the Medina upon arrival. The Medina itself is a labyrinth, both daunting and thrilling to explore. Fortunately, the wonderful staff at our riad organized a last-minute tour with Mouhssine. My main hope was that this tour would help us feel more comfortable navigating the alleyways and teach us about the culture and norms of the Medina.
What we received was so much more than I could have imagined. This experience will always hold a special place in my heart. Mouhssine is exceptionally charming, knowledgeable, and has a remarkable gift for making people feel at ease. Through engaging discussions and thoughtful debates, he gave us an enlightening glimpse into the rich history of Marrakesh and Islam, as well as a view of the city’s modern-day culture. We hadn’t expected to visit places like the Ben Youssef Madrasa or the Bahia Palace while on this tour -both stunningly beautiful sites, which were made even more memorable by Mouhssine’s commentary and historical insights. I unexpectedly found myself holding back tears in the Madrasa.
As we effortlessly wound through the maze of streets, visiting souks and absorbing their histories, I felt deeply privileged to be part of this experience. The four hours flew by, and not once did it feel like a typical “tour.” Instead, it was as if we were catching up with an old friend. It’s clear that Mouhssine has a genuine love for Marrakesh’s heritage and wanted us to leave with that same admiration. Mission accomplished. If you’re looking to dive deeply into the culture and history of Marrakesh in a way that leaves a lasting impression, this tour is an absolute must.
