Great tour guide - The walking tour was great. The guide was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The palace was impressive, with several riads, there weren't too many information points so having the guide was useful.
When walking around several vendors mentioned how we were in good hands with the guide, they taught us about the different olives and different areas in the city.
The school was grand and nice to see.
Additional costs were 100Dh for the palace and 50Dh for the school.

We began at the magnificent Bahia Palace, where Elhoussine’s captivating commentary illuminated the palace's rich history and stunning architecture, we ventured to the Saadian Tombs Royal cemetury from 16th-centuery. The journey continue through the vibrant Medina Souk, where Elhoussine expertly navigated the bustling markets, making the entire experience an unforgettable is visiting the berber pharmacy.
