Incredible Experience - Dani was an incredible guide. I went back and forth emailing with him for a couple weeks before taking the tour to chat about exactly what my husband and I wanted and Dani did more than amazing. So amazing that we booked two more guides through him in other cities as well! He was very knowledgeable about Morocco, the culture’s history, and how to integrate into the daily life to help us as photographers get amazing shots of real life in the souks. If you’re looking for a tailored to your interests tour - look no further than EcoMorocco!

Extraordinary experience 😍 - I had an incredible experience on the walking tour of Marrakech! The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and deeply passionate about the city’s history and culture. The visit to the medina felt like stepping back in time.
The highlight was exploring the Bahia Palace, followed by a peaceful stroll through the secret gardens tucked away in the chaos of the city. I also appreciated the chance to sample authentic Moroccan tea and treats along the way.
This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to truly immerse themselves in the heart of Marrakech.
Highly recommended !!!

Friendly and knowledgeable guide, great way to see the Medina! - We really enjoyed our walking tour around the Medina. Jihad was a great guide and provided us with lots of interesting information on Marrakesh and Morocco as a whole. If it's your first time in Marrakech I'd definitely recommend this tour as the souks are a fast moving maze with lots going on. Having someone with local knowledge is definitely the best way to see the area for the first time and Jihad is clearly an expert!

Walking tour of medina - Dani was our guide for the morning, from start to finish he was informative, entertaining and easy going. As two females we felt extremely safe and comfortable in his company.
Dani took us to all the the sights we maybe wouldn’t have known about . His English was very good. We visited the palace, the souks and madrassa and explained he explained the history of each place.
We would recommend his tour to any of our friends and would say dont hesitate to book this yourself!

Highly recommend to anyone! - As two 20yr old women we were cautious of exploring Marrakech on our own, but Dani made us feel safe and at ease as we explored the streets, sharing with us tips and tricks as we went!
We spent 4hrs exploring Marrakech and learnt so much! He was very knowledgeable and informative of both the tourist sites and general life/culture in the city.
You get to skip the queues with a guide which was brilliant! And he provided a wealth of knowledge about each site we visited. He also asked if we were interested in each area, meaning the tour was totally adaptable to our tastes and mobility.
Would highly recommend to anyone!!
