Independent Tour/ no guide only a driver - If you’re traveling solo or with a small group and don’t want a guide rushing you from one place to the next book a driver. Ismail was very patient and allowed me to view places at my pace and he was right there when I was ready to leave. If you like a hand-holding experience this is not it. I saw able to visit the Jardin Marjorelle and the YSL museum as well as a local Moroccan rug merchant. There was never any pressure to be herded around. Just a nice peaceful day. Thanks again Ismail!!!

Great morning visiting Marrakesh’s hotspots - Our driver Abdul was lovely, chatty and very attentive. He made sure we got the most out of our morning tour. We got to see some of Marrakesh’s iconic areas which were made easy to reach by using this tour. I would recommend it as a safe and reassuring way of exploring Marrakech.

Half day sightseeing - Efficient way to travel and see Marrakech main sights. The guide is a great driver, knows a lot about the city and will ensure you have a nice experience.

Absolutely brilliant experience - Brilliant experience, the guide Omer was extremely helpful given we had an infant. I'd highly recommend this. The price is nothing compared to what you get in return for half day tour.

Beautiful, but a little lacking communication/planning - It was unique to see the sights of Marrakech! We paid the additional 40€ to have a private guide, otherwise this is only transportation as entrance fees are not included to any of the sites. I wish they would just do an all inclusive package, as it felt like a lot of add on coats. They weren’t horrible expensive, but just a thought. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind, but the operator seems disorganized. We never received our sightseeing itinerary and we weren’t quite sure what to expect. As listed, I assumed it was 4 hrs and had booked a spa visit after, but we seemed to linger a long time at stops and didn’t see much as we ran out of time. It was also incredibly hot and I would’ve declined a walking tour of the medinas had I known, but our guide had already sent our private driver away for 3 hours. My husband had some heat swelling and painful knuckles and we asked to end the tour early. The driver was 20-25 minutes away and we had to sit in the heat at our second stop. I was also caught off guard we didn’t visit Bahia palace as advertised in this tour. Our guide took us to Dar el Bacha instead. It was pretty, but again the lack of a proper schedule or communication from the operator made this tour lacklust. I still recommend them, but just overly communicate your expectations with both the operator and the guide upon meeting so they can better manage time. We only got to see the Marjorelle Gardins, YSL Museum, and Dar el Bacha. We drove past Koutoubian Mosque but they didn’t stop for us to capture a photo. I also recommend less time at each place and more time in the AC van when the temperatures are so high (which is what I assumed). I specifically booked this over another tour to avoid the Medina walking, and unfortunately our guide wanted to take us there, which was least important to me. The driver should’ve also been closer at our disposal, that would have helped tremendously.

Lovely but not for little ones - Lovely place to wander about and lovely colours but wouldn't recommend for understanding 7 years old as they don't quite have the freedom to run around or appreciation for the beauty of the gardens.

not too happy - Drivers were very good, very friendly but were not happy with the prices for the admission for 2 of the sights. We were a group of 15 people we paid for the excursion plus the extra charge of £55 for the hotel pick up being far. One of the sights was 70 dirham per person and the other park was probably the same. We ended up going to only 1 sight which was free which had a olive tree garden. We feel that the 4 hour trip would cost too much. Advice it would be a good idea getting the prices for everything before hand or booking admission in advance.

The worst experience ever - We were promised from the Viator that we will receive some water with snacks, we didn’t get anything, we went to 2 places menara and Majorelle garden the driver said that it was too late to go other places and even he was tired he drove us to Majorelle and he went to sit in a café, I don’t recommend at all.
