Fun day out in the souks - It was a nice experience, the tour guide was funny, polite and friendly.
He took us to many stalls and the people in each stall showed us how they made their products. It was really informative and fun. The tour guide also helped us get lower prices, and suggested places to eat and when to go.
Very enjoyable :) thank you!

A Great Guide to Discover Marrakech Otherwise! - Very pleasant visit in the medina with our Guide quo allowed us to discover some aspects of Moroccan culture , we went through alleys that we could not have known alone. He also recommended the right addresses for lunch. It was very interesting and very pleasant because Ismael is a passionate person who knows Marrakech very well.
I highly recommend using his services to discover Marrakech in detail because I have been in Marrakech 6 times and I saw and learned things this time with the Guide.

An Afternoon in the Souks - Ismaïl took us on the most perfect afternoon tour yesterday, we learnt so much about the culture and history of Marrakech and came away with some fantastic purchases. He took us to places we would have never found by ourselves and introduced us to many of the merchants who took the time to explain their products to us, a perfect introduction the Medina and Marrakech - thank you :)

A Gateway into Culture - We had a wonderful time with Ismail and Rachid. (It was also a great thing to do on a hot day, where the chance to cool off in an air-conditioned store was most welcome.) We hadn't planned on buying anything, but the quality of the goods is high and the vendors are all very good at what they do. =)
I wish I had had more time and energy to do more history tours of the city, but the shopping tour is a must. As with any travel experience, I most enjoy the sights, interactions, and experiences NOT found in the guidebooks, and the shopping tour with Ismail and Rachid is a wonderful gateway into the cultures and to meeting local residents.

5/5 ⭐️ - Many thanks to Ismail. This was our first shopping trip. He really showed us a lot of places that we would never have found on our own.
We'd be happy to come back any time, we absolutely recommend it :)
