A+ experience. - Great way to see things and experience places you couldn’t find very easily on your own! We were very fortunate to have our guide Zouhair take us around. He was super knowledgeable about the sights in Marrakesh, he knew many people throughout our visits, which helped a lot with skip-the-line options and even getting a table for a quick lunch at a busy and popular spot!! We couldn’t be happier with our experience. I could go on with more stories, but I will simply say this tour was well worth the cost by a long shot.

A Fabulous Tour of Marrakech Old Town with Mehdi from Snurk.Travel - Exploring the vibrant heart of Marrakech with Mehdi as our guide was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment the tour began, Mehdi’s passion for his city shone through, immersing us in the spirit, colors, and rich culture of the old town.
Walking through the lively streets, we were surrounded by an explosion of colors from the bustling souks, adorned with intricate textiles, handwoven carpets, and shimmering lanterns. Mehdi’s detailed explanations made each item and story come alive. The floral displays were breathtaking, with pops of color and fragrant scents greeting us at every turn.
Mehdi's knowledge of the Medina's history was impressive, and his storytelling made it easy to imagine the bustling trade routes of the past. He skillfully guided us through the labyrinth of narrow alleys, ensuring we never missed a hidden gem or iconic landmark.
The highlight for many was sipping mint tea in a serene courtyard, a hidden oasis amidst the city's vibrant chaos. Mehdi’s warm personality and genuine love for his city created a welcoming atmosphere where we felt more like friends than tourists.
This tour wasn’t just a sightseeing trip; it was a sensory journey through Marrakech’s soul, full of vibrant colors, aromatic spices, and the enchanting spirit of the city. Mehdi is a true gem, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an authentic and unforgettable experience.

Marrakech: complete picture of the city in a few hours with a guide - Very much enjoyed the tour with a Mehdi guide, looked at the palaces, strolled around the old town, felt the local flavor. The tour is well planned taking into account the heat and location of the attractions.
Mehdi studied in Russia and speaks excellent Russian. Said a lot of interesting things about Marrakech and Morocco. Advised on where to eat lunch and made recommendations for my further program in the city

Walking around Marrakech - September 2023 - Marrakech is beautiful! Zhalil took us along a very interesting route and showed us the city as we would never have recognized it ourselves. Jalil also spoke a lot and interestingly about the life of Moroccans, their daily activities, joys, problems, and supported a lot with stories from life. 5+!
September 2023 - the consequences of the earthquake are visible in the city. Many houses in the Jewish quarter were destroyed.

Hidden places, great stories - Unleash your inner Indiana Jones. Fantastic tour with Kate -- hidden places, inspiring stories. You feel like having great time with your friend and diving into luxurious and mysterious Marrakesh at the same time. Great mix of stories about the past and impressions of today (smells, tastes, people).

Something so unusual - My wife and I decided to traditionally gather the whole family to celebrate the New Year. We wanted something so unusual. We remembered that a few years ago we really liked Morocco. Moreover, a visa is not needed - the issue is serious at the present time. And they were not mistaken. A magnificent country! So many bright, delicious, original impressions! And perfumes! And a hot air balloon flight! And the people are so friendly!
Of course, many thanks to the agency. The guides offered were wonderful - educated, informed, Transport and drivers are excellent. In general, there are no complaints at all. Only thanks. The family is delighted. We have absolutely no doubt that we will come to Marrakech again.

Hidden city with your best friend - This was unforgettable adventure! Our guide took us to the most hidden places of Marrakesh. It was not just a standard route, we wondered through the city turning into small side roads to see how meet is stewed in the ground or went up to the roof to taste best moroccan mint tee. By the end of the day we felt that we are exploring the city with our good old friend who knows the city as native and can tell all the stories about Old and Modern Marrakesh. Highly recommend visiting Marrakesh with this tour guide.
