Navigating through the Medina in Marrakech can be labyrinthine, and locating its historical landmarks can be challenging. Engaging with a well-informed guide simplifies this experience tremendously. The focus of the excursion is on the rich history of Morocco and, specifically, on that of Marrakech. As we delve into the city’s notable structures, we will also wander the enchanting avenues of the ancient Medina, truly soaking in the area’s cultural charm. Independently, one might only appreciate the exteriors and architecture. Additionally, the guide will protect you in bustling spaces and will present a captivating and varied exploration schedule.

Outstanding experience & extraordinary journey in Morocco - An excellent tour with more than just an overview of Marrakesh. Old town or the Medina is fascinating with some great stories and ideas for further exploring. The real treat was overwhelming. Exploring one of the most famous touristic cities in Morocco was a dream come true. Highly recommend

Great 4 hour walking tour of Marrakech - Otman was a terrific guide, providing a cultural and historical background for the things we were seeing. Our main destinations were: Koutubia Mosque, Saadien's Tombs, Bahia Palace, and then Jemaa el-Fna. You do need to pay entrance fees for the tombs and the palace if you want to go in. But going with a certified tour guide lets you skip the ticket-buying line!
It's not just about those attractions though. On the way to these places Otman took us through more local less touristy streets, introduced us to his favorite street musician, his favorite roast lamb street food (never would have tried this ourselves), and really just the smallest neatest things. We can tell he has fun giving these tours.
It was just my wife and me, so the itinerary and pace were flexible to fit us. Overall, if you need a good half-day intro to Marrakech this is a great choice with a great guide.

Best Tour Guide you could wish in Marrakech - Otman is a young and passionated guide which loves to promote tourism in Marocco. His goal is serving people and helping them understand Marocco and Islamic culture. He speaks fluently English and arrived on time to pick us up with a taxi, which was our transportation throughout Marrakech for the rest of the day. Cause he negotiated a good price for the taxi driver we had a very reasonable spend on transportation. Visited Jardins Majorelle and Yves Saint Laurent Museum in the morning. Advantage of a guide is that you don't have to que on musea and can go directly to the entrance of the museum. Otman seems also to be a very good photographer, the pictures he took from me and my wife are spleandous. Afterwords we went to center of Marrakech and visited Bahai palace where Otman told us about the rich history of Marocco, then we went to visit some local handcraft shops, traditional bakery and local hammam. Throughout the day Otman always was with us, (not like other guides that give you free time and you have to find it out yourself), and give a rich explanation about history of the things we saw on our walk trough Marrakech. However we booked him for 4 hours he spended a whole day with us without extra charge. Otman's goal is to become the best guide in Marocco and on our point of view he is already ;-)

Couldn’t think of a better guide! - Ottoman is such a lovely tour guide, he is such a down to earth gentleman who’s knowledge of Marrakech will amaze you. He is a very passionate guide who is the best companion to have navigate you around Marrakech, and he ensures you see the very best and most authentic places you’d like!
He caters extremely well to exactly what you’d like and continues to do that through out the day. I remember him asking me about what I would like to see and I had said I’m obsessed with colours, so he navigated is expertly around the souks and brought us to the most beautiful stores.
He is an absolute treasure and definitely made our visit to Marrakech a memorable one. Thank you so much Ottoman!

Best guide 😊 - I was in Marrakech a week ago and I choose Otman as my guide for my first day, because Marrakech is really crowded city, it's not that difficult to get lost, but not just because of that also I wanted to see the city in local perspective.. and Otman did a great job, he showed me a lot of culture and everything what i needed to see, he also was really funny and helpful about everything i asked.
It was my pleasure to spend a day with him as a guide. Tnx
