The tour, tour guide and driver were fantastic. Saw a lot of things that we wasn’t expecting. The tombs were abit of a let down if I’m honest as I was just expecting a different type I think. Overall though a great experience and would recommend again.
This was a great tour of Marrakech! Traveling with 2 young kids- our guide Ouidad was fantastic and showed us all the highlights of Marrakech! We didn’t feel rushed at all and enjoyed visiting the Majorelle Gardens, the various palaces and the tombs. Highly recommend the tour and many thanks to Ouidad, who was an excellent guide!
Sharif our tour guide was SO KNOWLEDGEABLE. I learned so much about the Moroccan culture and the three stops were very well-timed. I highly recommend this tour.
An excellent trip, Mohammed and Said (the driver) looked after us marvellously well from start to finish. We were picked up from the hotel and the first thing I noticed when we got into the vehicle was a bouquet of flowers for my partner who was 50 on the day, lovely touch. I found Mohammed very knowledgeable and happy to discuss anything you wished about aspects of Marrakech or indeed the wider Morocco. We were driven in style from one attraction to the next with the vehicle safely driven by Said who was always waiting for us. If you are short on time, like the idea of a private tour in style with a relaxed tone this is the trip for you Jon and Tina
We don't usually write reviews but had to on this one due to the exceptional service that we received. Our tour guide was Shariff/Ismail. He was very professional, knowledgeable and his enthusiasm made it possible for us to make the most of our tour even though at times we wanted to cut it short due to heat exhaustion. After the tour, Shariff recommended a nice restaurant for dinner, but unfortunately, the driver had to leave. Shariff offered to walk us back to our riad to ensure we get back safely and we received a bonus tour along the way. We really enjoyed our tour and very thankful to Shariff for making us feel safe all the time and for treating us like family. From Fatima and family.
1st time for us 6 girls in Marrakech, so booked this as a taster. Wonderful from start to finish. Driver and guide were wonderful. Booking and confirmation process very easy. We whizzed around the city for whole morning, driver was always ready to pick us up promptly .a varied tour taking in all the main bits including people's bakery, ysl garden , museum,herbalist, carpet shops,median and souls.
We were picked up right on time. All attractions were timed and perfect in the amount allowed. Water was provided. Our driver was wonderful, gave history and even made us an appointment at a local hammam which was amazing. This tour was a highlight of our entire holiday!
An excellent tour but very short. If you have a short time available it is very suitable and touches on the highlights. The driver and guide were very good and very accommodating. We recommend this tour if you have a short time available.
Mustafa, our guide, took us for a perfect guided tour through Marrakech. The combination of being driven to drop off points and then walking to certain destinations, was a perfect mix for us. The Jardin Marjorelle, the palace of the old kings wifes, the cooperatives for oils/spices and carpet productions, were all very interesting, to the level that we ended up buying both Argan oil and a beautiful, large hand made carpet, at bargain for us.. prices. I can highly recommend this tour. P.S. as for any tours in this part of the world I'd recommend to bring water and wear a hat/cap during the day.
