Great day out to Marrakech - This was a wonderfully organised tour, and our guide Ben was fantastic. He took us to many sites around the city and taught us so much about Moroccan and Amazigh culture. The souks were also wonderful. I left with a beautiful pair of handmade shoes, a gorgeous handwoven rug, some beautiful Amazigh silver jewellery, and a stunning pashmina shawl- but be prepared to haggle! We even got a picture with a pair of cobra snakes! Ben took care of us the whole day ensuring we were comfortable and happy- even small gestures such as grabbing a date from a vendor when my partners blood sugar was low. Thank you so much for a great trip!

Thoroughly recommend - Our original walking tour booked through GuruWalk was cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, and we had already been in Marrakech a couple of days so this was disappointing. Luckily the owner of our riad recommended and organised for "Ben" to step in at very short notice. He was brilliant! He tailored oir time to what we wanted and brought the city to life. He talked knowledgably about the history and cultural origins, as well as sensitively navigating current cultural aspects and tensions, and at the same time highlighting the beautiful and heartwarming ways of life. Until we had this tour, despite its sights and sounds, a city can feel a bit one dimensional. This tour made marrakech feel vividly multi-dimensional. I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Great local tour guide - Great 5hrs of touring Marrakesh with Az-eddine. Knowledgeable, kind and took our interests into consideration. Not being hassled (we are a mother and teenage daughter travelling alone) nor getting lost was worth the money alone. Highly recommend

Knowledgeable guide, unfortunate shopping/scam experience - Az-eddine is really knowledgeable about Marrakech, patriotic and well known in the area. He did take us to a herbalist called Bio Ksour that turned out to be a complete scam (over priced products and fake saffron that we felt pressured into buying). When I told Az-eddine the saffron was fake he said it was an issue of quality, which just is not the case - I was sold dyed plants/wood shavings. Do yourself a favour and read the Google reviews of Bio Ksour to make sure you avoid it!

Not a good experience - Our tour was over shadowed by the scams we experienced in the Bio Ksour shop that we were taken to by Az-eddine. This shop is a known scam so it’s disappointing that we were taken there by a trusted guide. Furthermore, we felt that our purchasing of fake saffron was facilitated by Az-eddine. Huge pity as I believe Az-eddine is very knowledgeable about his city.

Not recommended - Not recommended as he didn't try to understand our focus and was mostly pointing things with no real insight to history and engaging any conversation
