Excellent guided tour with a local - Mohsin was a fantastic guide. He grew up in the Medina, and his knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing it with visitors made for a better than usual guided tour. He gave us a crash course on Moroccan history and an explanation of Islam so that we had a better understanding of the culture and a context of what we were seeing in Marrakech. I highly recommend asking for Mohsin if you book this tour.

Brilliant - Absolutely brilliant tour and our guide was so informative. Loved it.
You will be walking about 12,000 steps so proper footwear will be required.

A Perfect Introduction to Marrakech - This was the very first tour in Morocco for my husband and me, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was a private tour! Mouhssine met us right on time at the Koutoubia Mosque. We had a wonderful time exploring the medina and souks with him. We truly appreciated his extensive knowledge and the way he introduced us to the local history.
Our only disappointment was missing the Bahia Palace, as it closed early for Ramadan, but everything else was perfect. Mouhssine even recommended a fantastic restaurant for dinner and personally coordinated with the staff to secure us a rooftop reservation. The food was delicious! We highly recommend this tour!

We <3 Mouhssine - Mouhssine was AMAZING!!!! My friend and I (both 21 years old from USA) had such an amazing time with him. He showed us all the sights and catered it to what we wanted to see. He taught us so much history and also about cultural life in Morocco. He ended up taking us out to lunch after the tour!!

Great introduction to Marrakech - This was a wonderful way to get orientated to Marrakech. Mouhssine is so friendly and knowledgeable and took great care of us. He even helped us get money from a bank as we had none and the ATM’s weren’t working for us. He is a lovely person who shared much of his life and also history of the places we visited

Great morning walking tour of Marrakech - Walking tour taking in points of interest, souks and the Secret Gardens of Marrakesh. Our guide for the whole morning was excellent and not only showed us around but was able to give us some do's and don't tips to keep us safe.

Marrakech city walk - What a wonderful experience in the heart of Marrakech 👌👌👌
Mouhssine is an extremely smooth and sympathetic man who shares his knowledge in a fun way. After he asked where our interests lay, we took a varied big walk through the Jewish quarter, the souks, visited El Bahia as well as the Madrasa Ben Youssef.
Greatly enjoyed his facts and his openness...
Overall a top guide, which we will definitely contact again on a next visit to Marrakech
Nice experience 👍
