We had a wonderful experience within the markets of Marrakech. Our guide- Chrif- was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He was a great guide and helped us get some great products at very good rates. The highlight was visiting the co-operative store where they make Argan oil and other organic products! I would recommend this tour highly, and Chrif was a great guide!

Can't say enough about how professional, courteous and knowledgeable Hassan was. He picked us up on time and gave us an incredible experience in the medina. We would have never found most of the places he took us to. He also took us to stores in the Gulez section of Marrakesh, fantastic! He shared insights into the culture, food and history of Morocco. Definitely worth doing.

Mixed feelings about this tour, our guide was lovely, providing relevant information and very pleasant with excellent English. He took us through the souks and workshops we would never had found on our own and then asked which items we wanted to focus on purchasing. But we didn't fully get the experience we expected. We didn't meet with artists and learn about their family businesses and their work, we didn't visit a local leather shop, a jeweller, fashion outlets or even a carpet shop, but we did visit a herbalist, shoe shop and a lamp shop but these were really expensive. I had hoped to learn the art of bargaining but the guide stepped back and provided no help or advice. Also there was no rest stop until I asked for one at the end of the tour. However it was a good introduction to the souks and helped our orientation on our first morning in Marrakech.
