Shopping the Souks with Ali - Ali was a wonderful host for our souk shopping experience! Communication was great and Ali tailored our shopping experience based on our interests and on ensuring that we patronized businesses that sold quality goods. Ali also is a source of knowledge about the history of Morocco and Marrakech.
For the uninitiated, the souks can be confusing and many items seemed to be lacking in quality. I strongly recommend touring with Ali if you want to experience the souks to obtain quality, ethically sourced goods with the addition of a generous helping of history and hospitality.

Don't try to do the Souks by yourself - Ali was the best guide to have in the Souks- he knew where everything was and he knew who sold what and where the best vendors were, he also helped us get a lower price several times. We would have gotten lost without Ali.

The only way to see the markets AUTHENTIC - AMZING! Everything I wanted and more. Ali was fantastic a Marrakech native he knew all the ins and outs of the city and exactly where to shop. Every store owner I met was incredibly kind and accommodating I was not pressured to buy anything. Ali was so great because he tailored the tour to my needs and interests I work in textiles so he took me to a rug store with a magnificent presentation I felt like I was with my best friend! Also as a solo female traveler I felt so safe with him. We were running around all day in little ally’s and walkways he was very respectful and even showed me where to get the best street food!

A great experience in Marrakech! - I can't say enough great things about Ali. This is my second tour with him and he did not disappoint. Ali takes the time to provide a great shopping experience, while giving you the history of Morocco. I highly recommend!

Great tour with Said - absolute added value for a stay in Marrakech - Great tour with Said! Highly recommended. I was in Marrakesh with my 2-year-old daughter over Easter and booked the souk tour. We were alone with Said and had a great afternoon. He took us to interesting corners of the souks, negotiated great prices and showed us the souks from a side that you don't usually get to see as a tourist. My TIP: It's best to do this tour right at the start of your stay - it's a completely different experience than walking through the souks without a guide. Be sure to ask for Said for the tour - he is a really competent guide, speaks very good German and you just have a great time with him. He also gives lots of tips and advice for the trip ;)

Shopping Tour Great Guide - Mohammed was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to get us the best prices and take us everywhere we wanted to go and where he knew we would like to go. Hidden gems we would never have found. Great information about the place that set us up for the weekend. I really couldn’t have wished for a better guide . I highly recommend booking him for any of his walks. We did the shopping tour but he also does others including a food tour we would have booked if we had more time and will def book next time. Thank you Mohammed you are a brilliant guide with so much patience and a great sense of humour , can’t thank you enough.

Two enthusiastic thumbs up! - Though our originally scheduled guide was ill, Mohammed stepped in and was excellent! Not only did he escort us around the numerous souks, he explained the history behind them, and their importance in historical perspective. He is a wealth of information, and made an effort to find opportunities to share with us his neighborhood, important landmarks, traditions, and off the beaten path things you wouldn't know to look gorgeous on your own. I am grateful for his guidance, education, and advice. I would highly recommend this experience!! Thanks Mohammad!!

Great tour - Ali was just amazing, he grew up in the old Medina and takes such pride in telling of his culture. We walked through the Souks visiting the hidden gems like locals . Ali felt proud to show the master artisans using their skills to create stunning Moroccan handicrafts. And I think 3 hours tour isn’t enough to cover all the colourful Souks.
I highly recommend this visit for the first time in Marrakech city.
Many thanks for for the lovely tour!

Nightmare Marrakech with motorcycles - Everything is great, your people, Shopping, excursions, Riads, but the bikes a real nightmare, a danger and a torment, they don't respect, they go everywhere at high speed, you can't shop quietly in the Souk, I think they should control this, it's gotten out of hand.
