The best way to see the city! Very helpful! - We were met by Kamal at our Riad and he was so friendly, professional and polite. He asked us what our priority was for our tour and so we told him where we preferred to see and what we were not so bothered about. He walked us around the Medina, he was very knowledgeable, and made us laugh a lot too! He was incredibly patient as we looked around the souks, and at the end even walked us to our restaurant we had booked for lunch. Nothing was too much for him. I would thoroughly recommend him to help you get your bearings around the city centre and understand the history and culture of Marrakech. Thank you Kamal!

Explore the Medina with Kamal - The walking tour with Kamal exceeded all our expectations. Kamal is full of knowledge and great stories. We learned so much about the history, culture and traditions of Marrakech and Morocco. We took the tour on our first morning and it was a great way to orientate ourselves in the Medina. Kamal took us through all the little backstreets with leather workers and blacksmiths. I'm not sure we would have dared to do this on our own! We would certainly have got lost! Kamal gave us great tips on where to eat with the locals (it was delicious) and where to shop. His english is excellent, great sense of humour and we can highly recommend him.

Fun shopping at the souks - Our tour of the Medina in Marrakech was an unforgettable experience. Navigating through the intricate souks felt like wandering through a captivating labyrinth, but our knowledgeable guide, Kamal, expertly led us through the maze-like streets. With his guidance, we explored an array of locally crafted goods, and Kamal's assistance in negotiating prices made the shopping experience both enjoyable and authentic. A visit to the Medina, especially with Kamal as your guide, is a must for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of Marrakech.

A Great Tour with a Great Guide - In looking at booking a private tour of Marrakech we wanted to get a good overview as a start to our visit. Kamal exceeded all expectations and gave us a good education on history, time and place. He was warm and hospitable, as well as knowledgeable and really knew the Medina as well as all the souks, which were best for what we were looking for. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you may make a friend for life in Kamal.

City Tour - Did a half day tour of Medina. We had Imad as our tour guide. He has a deep knowledge of the history as well as the current culture. Not to mention the guy speaks five languages and really knows his way around the souks. I’d highly recommend doing this to start your trip in Marrakech.

Best tour guide in Morocco! - We highly recommend Kamal! He was so patient, funny, and has a wealth of knowledge about the city! We booked with Kamal for both the private walking tour and street food tour. He showed us all of the beautiful locations Marrakech has to offer, and we got to taste delicious traditional dishes. He kindly waited while we explored, shopped, and also took a lot of great photos of us. We will definitely book with Kamal again if we return to Morocco!

Fun private walking tour - We had a private half day, walking tour with Kamal yesterday and he was excellent. He asked us what we wanted to do and tailored the tour to our needs. We have two teenage daughters and they both also enjoyed the tour which is a compliment to Kamal! He has a wealth of knowledge about Marrakech and Morocco … it was fascinating and we learnt a lot. He also gave us good tips on how to haggle, good places to eat, and where to visit. A great and also fun tour … I would highly recommend the tour and Kamal. Thank you Kamal!

BEST guide for your Marrakesh explorations! - Kamal was the perfect guide for our first trip to Marrakesh! He was extremely knowledgeable and fun; you can tell he loves what he does! It was a very last-minute booking through our hotel, but took his time nonetheless and guided us through the markets of the Medina. Kamal also gave us a bit of history and background on Morocco, Marrakesh, politics, and culture - all very engaging. Would highly recommend his guide!
