It’s worth every penny - Karim was amazing!! He came early, waited for us to be ready and knew a lot about the city. He assisted in taking all our good pictures of the city and knew the best places to buy things. I’ll use him again and again

Good tour - Did a half day tour with our guide Karim. The tour started in a van with stops at Koutoubia, Bab Agonau and Kasbah. We then visited the Bahia palace, walked around the medina and also visited Medersa Ben Youssef (the itinerary actually had Jardin Secret but Karim asked if we wanted to switch. It worked well for us as we wanted to visit the medersa and it was better with a guide.) Overall it was a great tour and our guide Karim was knowledgeable and friendly and we definitely recommend.

A great way to see Marrakech - Our guide Karim met us outside our hotel at the agreed time. He showed us to our transport driven by a colleague whose name escapes me. We had an enjoyable tour learning lots about the city, it history and what it is like to grow up and live in the city. The highlights of the tour were the Royal Palace, University and the Souk. Karim was an excellent guide and photographer. Thank you.

A great way to get to know about Marrakech - We were met outside our hotel at the appointed hour by Karim who showed us to our transport. Sorry I didn’t pick up the name of our driver but he navigated the traffic expertly and we were pleased none of us were trying to navigate the tiny streets. Our tour was very informative and Karim shared a lot of knowledge about the city, its history and what life is like living and growing up in the city. The Royal Palace, University and the Souk were the highlights of the tour. Thank you Karim

Sensory overload. - This is an ideal trip for anyone who is nervous, as we were, of exploring the heart of Marrakech on their own. We were met as arranged at our hotel by Abdessamad and a driver. Having driven past the Koutoubia mosque and the Roman Catholic church we were dropped close to the entrance of the old Jewish Quarter, the Hayel Mellah. Our first stop was a traditional Moroccan herbal apothecary where we had the chance to sample some mint tea while discussing the properties of the various herbs and spices on display. I mentioned that I had a bit of blocked nose and, quick as a flash, the owner had made up an 'inhaler' of nigella seeds and menthol rubbed together in a small muslin bag. We then moved on through a variety of markets, stopping at a stall to sample some freshly pressed pomegranate juice (this wasn't included in the tour but cost the equivalent of £2 - just make sure you have Dirhams with you as none of the businesses we came across were able to accept card payments). The souks were fascinating; a total sensory overload of sights, sounds and smells. Our next stop was the Bahia Palace dating from the 18th Century which was a perfect example of Moroccan architecture and art. The we visited the 'Secret Garden', a hidden oasis of calm in the middle of the busy souks. Here, as well as enjoying the gardens themselves, there was the opportunity for refreshments on the upstairs terrace. The tour ended with a walk through the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square which, because we had opted for a morning tour, was relatively quiet. Throughout Abdessamad was an excellent guide providing a wonderful commentary on all that we were seeing. Happy to recommend this tour even as an introduction to Marrakech before you go exploring on your own..

Driver Polite, good English, passionate about Morocco - Organised by the hotel - Nour our driver was waiting in the lobby for us earlier than our given meet time, a big plus in Moroccan time, the previous tour organised by jet2 was 45 mins late. Well spoken and polite, excellent English you could see Nour cared about his role. He had changed our time from 10 am to 9am to be ahead of the crowds and that was a bonus as into the morning we were met with many tours and we avoided the heat. We went to the the main monuments and a tannery to see how the good were made and a pharmacy were you are enlightened on all things in natural form to cure aches and pains and hair loss, natural Botox, natural viagra, to stop blocked noses and arthritis - I bought some products being a snorer and some cream for arthritis in my needs and it worked i had pain free for 4 hours whilst walking round the next day. Nour was happy to drop us anywhere or back to the hotel at the end of the tour - Just a point Nour talks about the monuments and the point of interest and leaves you too it to discover he only comes into the tannery and the pharmacy with you - Recommended
