Do this FIRST! - Thank you Mohammed! Everyone should book this tour when your first arrive to Marrakech, BEFORE you try navigating the Medina. Mohammed gave us so much good information, history and tips for maneuvering through the market! A very kind soul and beautiful human being, such a great introduction to Morocco!

A visit to get off the beaten track - A very informal but very interesting tour with a Guide anxious to introduce us to all facets of the city and explaining the context. In the end a very pleasant walk and that corresponded totally to what we expected to know to discover original things of Marrakech life. Just great!

Fun and interesting way to get to know the medina - Mohamed was a brilliant guide. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour, and felt like we were give the opportunity to see and learn more about places that we were walking right past while exploring the medina. Mohamed included interesting historical stories and as well as explaining how the locals currently live within the beautiful old city.

Great guided tour with a great guide! - The guide was great, inspiring and very cultured. It allowed us to bring another look at the emblems of Marrakech, its souks and its secrets. He does not claim to have us stopped in shops to induce us to buy, but rather gives us advice on where to buy. Many thanks to the guide for this unique experience! We highly recommend it.

The souk differently - The guide is a historical gold mine. He explains everything to you and makes you see unsuspected things in the souk. Everything was interesting. He knows how to explain things to you without being boring To do without hesitation

Fascinating - We really enjoyed our relaxed tour with Azim. It was fascinating to learn more about Moroccan culture & listen to stories whilst visiting hidden delights through previously invisible doorways

Amazing guided tour by Mohamed!! - Mohamed provided an extremely informative and intimate guided tour of the Medina! He was an incredible guide and clearly has a passion for his work as a professional tour guide. He created a safe relaxed environment where he encouraged us to soak in the history and culture of Marrakech. Would highly recommend this tour as a starting point for your trip to learn about the history and customs of Morocco.

not recommend, sorry to say that - Let me be honest: this is a tour I would not recommend to my friends. The tour is named "hidden sites of Marrakesh", but the only hidden site we visited was a traditional food cooking place underground. The bakery shown on the cover page of the TA was not running at that time - we only got a piece of cold bread there in exchange of 2 Euros as tips at the request of the guide. The whole tour is to walk through markets (with workshops). Tourists go there without a tour guide too. Azim did introduce some history and culture of Morocco and its people, so I gave 2 stars. But I think it should be named less misleading, something like a "tour of medina and souks". The whole tour took 2.5-3 hours. If you need someone to guide you in the markets, you can book this one.
