Wonderful personal guide of Marrakech to take you around and gain a perspective of Morocco’s culture - Noura gave us an excellent tour of the best places to buy items we were interested in. She is very warm and informative about the culture and history of Morocco and paced the tour nicely. I would recommend her to others Highlight of the tour was the Majorelle garden and her information about the garden. Having a private guide also saved a lot of time navigating and by passing long lines.

Don't Go Shopping Without Her - The first time you enter the Marrakech market your head is spinning; you don't know which way to turn or who to trust. The second time you enter the market you take Noura with you. We made a shopping list -- rugs, leather goods, jewelry, antiques -- and Noura led the way to exactly what we were looking for in terms of quality and craftsmanship. You do your own bidding while she waits patiently for you to conclude business before moving on to the next stop. Along the way she provides the history of the Medina, pulls back the curtain on craftsmen working behind the scenes, and answers any and all of your questions on all things Moroccan. A surprisingly pleasant way to spend a few hours in chaotic surroundings.

A Shopper's Life Saver - Your first walk through the Marrakech market square and adjoining souks -- on your own or as part of a group touring Morocco -- is intimidating and mind-numbing. If you are a serious shopper, with a clear idea of what you are looking for but have no idea which way to turn, allow Noura to guide you through a successful shopping experience. Before our return to the marketplace, we customized our shopping list (rugs, leather goods, jewelry, original craftmanship, yes please! herbs, spices, cosmetics, clothes, no thank you!), and the agreeable Noura took it from there. Thank you Noura for leading us to the "good stuff", parting the curtains to reveal the artisans hard at work, and sharing your knowledge and passion for Morocco.

Great day in Marrakech - Noura was highly recommended to us as a guide by a friend who had previously used her services. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Marrakech with her, and we agreed with our friend that the 5 star review was well deserved. Noura went out of her way to ensure that we had a fun and interesting experience in Marrakech. She is very knowledgeable about her city and took the time to make sure to answer our questions and share the history of Marrakech. In addition, Noura introduced us to traditional Moroccan dishes as well as some unique Marrakech specialties. Her English is exceptional, so communication was very easy. I definitely recommend Noura if you’re visiting Marrakech.

Excellent souk tour - Great souk tour. Hanan was a wonderful guide and facilitator. She is very knowledgeable and patient. We learned so much and she made sure we found the things we were interested in purchasing. We felt no pressure to buy in any of the stores we went into. I would highly recommend this tour. Excellent!!

Terrific Guide - Nora is a wonderful, warm, flexible guide. She was knowledgeable the city, where to shop, what to eat, everything. She is was to be with and struck a great balance between being informative and leaving us to our own conversation and thoughts. Highly recommend.

Walking Souk tour - We had a great 3 hour souk walking tour with Noura. She took us to areas and places we may not have found ourselves. She explained the history of Marrakech and what life is like for families within the Medina. I would highly recommend Noura as a local guide.

Good Guide - We had an interesting tour of the Medina of Marrakech accompanied by this Guide. Very useful to start your journey so that you know what important benchmarks are (and therefore you do not get lost because Google Maps does not work optimally in all the small streets), what the local customs, norms and values are and you understand something about the history and economy of the country and this city. This female Moroccan Guide had studied English and therefore spoke good English. We chose to walk along the souks with her and we enjoyed it. While we appreciated her introducing us to some store owners, that did give a commercial touch to the tour. Keep in mind that it will be appreciated if you buy something in those stores.

A good private tour with a female guide - Noura asked what I was interested in so we can focus on those as we toured the souks. It was a good pace, there was no rush, and no pressure to purchase. She gave tips on haggling, and I paid the price I was comfortable with. I asked about two specific shops, and she kindly helped me with the directions. Overall, a good experience. Shokran, Noura!
