A must!! - Great experience from start to finish. We were picked up at our hotel and during the ride we were given loads of information regarding Marrakech. Plenty of time given at each location to see and take pictures. Hamza our guide was amazing, knew everything and kept us informed the whole time. Was very attentive with us, such as whenever he stopped to explain something he made sure we were in shade as it was extremely hot! If you want to experience the main bits of Marrakech whilst being looked after this is a must!

Definitely do this tour! - Mohammed was a great tour guide. I only had one full day in Marrakech and wanted to maximize my time. This was perfect. Having not only a guide but a driver to help us get around quickly and easily was clutch. I also loved the pace of the tour - I’m not one for slow meandering I like to see what I came to see, learn information about the culture, take some pictures for memories and keep it moving and that’s exactly what we did. Mohammed knew his stuff and was very kind, he also helped me negotiate when I wanted to make a purchase in the souks. Seamless experience getting picked up at my hotel for the tour - at the end of the tour I did opt to go inside to visit the garden and museum (which was not a part of the booked tour - and I knew that already) so I ended up taking a taxi back to my hotel. It was easy to get and no issues

Excellent guide, fantastic tour and felt very safe - Excellent tour that really gave us a flavour of the city. Hassan was an excellent tour guide, very personable and spoke fantastic English. Honestly think this is the best introduction to Marrakesh that anyone could ask for!

City Tour - Our guide was knowledgable and very helpful. Skipping the line to the palace was nice. Driving around the city gave us a chance to see a lot and not get worn out from walking. Nice balance of history and shopping in souks. Guide did a nice job interacting with the family, catering to our teens, and taking photos for us.

Fantastic. - It was fantastic. A true knowledge of the history of the city and all its details, coupled with a lot of sympathy on the part of the tourist guide Nadir. She is indeed one of those people we want and should meet when we travel.

I only had one free... - I only had one free morning in Marrakech, and my tour with Hamza was incredible. He was super accommodating, making sure we could include the Majorelle Gardens since I had a timed entry booked, and he tailored the entire tour to suit my interests, not just the usual tourist stops. Hamza was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and Moroccan culture, offering thoughtful insights and answering every question I threw his way (I had a lot!). He also went above and beyond - when I was rushing to get to the airport at the end, he even helped me bargain for a scarf and some snacks at the souk to take with me. So grateful for the experience! Can’t wait to come back to Morocco for a longer trip and reconnect with Hamza for another tour.

Wonderful half-day tour w/ historical perspective & knowledge - Really fantastic half-day tour – Assadiq, our guide, was amazing! Met us at our Riad for a walking tour, then a portion by car so we could visit further parts of city. Very knowledgable about Marrakech and Morocco, but also all the nooks and crannies of the city. We covered a lot of ground, and Assadiq gave us plenty of opportunity to ask questions, take pictures, and enjoy ourselves. Be prepared to walk a good bit, there's a lot to see! Highly recommended!

Not what I expected - This trip wasn’t what I was expecting, I feel like we didn’t hit all the destinations listed. Tour driver was missing and we had to walk in the heat. The worst part of the tour was when we were taken to a rug store where we were aggressively shown rugs four about 20 - 30 mins. Neither my friend nor I was in the market for a 20 foot rug with free shipping or otherwise. We were on the tour to see monuments and other areas of interest, not to be given an unexpected sales pitch. The visit to the cooperative was the worst part of the tour, very upsetting and unexpected.
