Friendly and knowledge guide - Myself and my two daughters took a trip with Mohamed who went out of his way to accommodate all our needs. The girls liked him a lot and he took its to places we would not have gone on our own.
Well informed, easy going and with absolutely no pressure, he even came to the Riad to pick us up instead of the meeting point.

A Great Guide! - Jaafar was a great guide. He was knowledgeable, calm, and pleasant. He arrived a few minutes late for the tour which had me a bit worried, but we got underway quickly. Once the tour started the time flew by. I learned a lot about the history of Marrakech and Jaafar helped us negotiate with traders in the souk. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend Jaafar to others.

ADIL IS AMAZING - My husband and I had a fabulous time with Adil! He is incredibly knowledgeable about Marrakesh and his love and passion for sharing is city is wonderful!
He took our interests to heart and made sure to personalize our tour to things we wanted to see (we really wanted to get a Moroccan rug and he went out of his way to take us to a fabulous shop and we got a wonderful rug!)
We would recommend this tour to anyone!

Wonderful and knowledgeable guide - We had a wonderful day exploring Marrakesh with Ouidad. We were 2 female friends and Ouidad gave us a well paced tour of the city from a modern female Moroccan’s perspective. She took the time to understand what our interests were in order to tailor the tour to what we wanted to see. She even included numerous stops at specialty street food vendors when we told her we like food! She had a witty sense of humor and really did a deep dive of Moroccan culture. Marrakesh can be chaotic and overwhelming but Ouidad made sure we were comfortable. I highly recommend her as a licensed tour guide.

Fabulous Marrakech tour - Adil was a wonderful guide. He is engaging and excited to share Marrakech with us. Growing up in the medina made his knowledge of Marrakech vast and interesting. We learned history, about the current souks and about life in Marrakech. We would definitely book Adil again for one of the other tours if we return to Marrakech. First hand knowledge made this a fabulous experience.

Great tour with Jaafar - We did this tour our first full day in Marrakech and were so happy to have Jaafar as our guide. He explained so much about the culture and history of the city and people, and was ready to answer all our questions. He was amazing and made us feel very comfortable going around on our own for the next few days. We loved meeting him and are so thankful he was our guide!

Hidden Gems of Marrakesh - Adil was the perfect host showing us the sights and unusual places in the souks of Marrakesh. He was very informative and a great guy. He fed and watered us on our trip and then recommended a great place for dinner right back near the bus stop so we couldn’t get lost!

Reliable guide with great knowledge - Omar was a great guide to Marrakech for us. We did several tours with him and we can higly reccomend him to others. We are a family of 4 and our children where 12 & 14 years old during the tour. Omar showed us the hidden gems of Marrakech and a great place to eat/drink. The program was fully adjustable to our wishes and we enjoyed it to the max. Omar speaks fluently English and is also good with children.

Intro to Marrakech - We booked Rachid for our first morning in Marrakech after arriving the evening before.
We recognised him from the photos in the website and he instantly but us at ease and had us laughing.
Super friendly, with enough information to give us an insight into the beautiful city, but not feel like a history lesson.
We wandered around some of the main sights, then the souks, ending at the main square for 3 hours.
This was our first time ever taking a private tour like this and it was just so hat we hoped for.
A good introduction into a new place that left us confident and comfortable to explore more on our own.
