Mohamed Abdani is a godsend! - Mohamed Abdani is a godsend! My mother in law was struck by a motorized scooter an hour after our tour had ended and we called him for help! He immediately came to our aid and helped us coordinate to get to the nearest international clinic. He stayed with us and translated for the doctors in the hospital. It was incredible! He helped take use to an all night pharmacy and helped us book a hotel that could accommodate her after the crash as we tried to get back home. We couldn’t have gotten her the help she needed without him! He is an exceptional person and is invaluable!!!

Fabulous guide - Mohammad was an amazing tour guide.
He was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, patient, understanding, and made our time with him incredibly fun. We saw and learned so much thanks to him. He really catered to the sites and things we were most interested in. He made our first day in Marrakech very special. I can’t recommend him enough.

Excellent guide fabulous way to see some of Marrakech and learn some great facts - We booked this tour as it gave us the option to see not only the Souks and Medina but also the fabulous Jardin Majorelle and Bahia Palace, we also had the option to see the Saadian Tombs but our daughter had enough architecture by that point! Mohamed was an excellent guide he was really knowledgeable , friendly and was happy to adapt the tour to suit us a family. If you are unsure about visiting the bustling noisy souks and Medina this is a great way to do it we would highly recommend. You are picked up and dropped off to your hotel.

The best way to tour the Medina, and know all its secrets. - Mohamed is a guide in Spanish, very well informed about the culture, religion and customs of Morocco.
We took a walk of almost 4 hours through the medina, and he let us make all the stops we wanted, without any kind of rush. I recommend it 100%. And as a plus for us, he is a fan of Boca Juniors from Argentina, and of Maradona!! Thank you Mohamed for your excellent guide!

Fun day in Marrakech - Mohammed was an amazing tour guide and highly recommended. He met us at our hotel at the arranged time. He asked if we had anything specific we wanted to see but we just told him to show us the city so he came up with a plan for the day. He took us to see many of the city sites including the gardens, Bahia Palace and shopping. Mohammed was very knowledgeable and helpful. He picked a wonderful rooftop restaurant with great views for our lunch. He was very patient and accommodating with my 88 yr old mom and made sure she had time to sit and resta bit throughoutthe day. During the shopping he made sure to take us to shops that were also doing demonstration so we could see some of the local talent. This was a great tour and Mohammed was a pleasure to spend the day with. He made the day really fun and I loved that the tour was on our schedule and not that of a tour group.

Mohamed - a great tour guide on a lovely tour - We had the amazing Mohamed for a half day city tour. The manager at our riad arranged for Mohamed to pick us up as we were only 5 mins walk from the rendezvous and Mohamed had contacted us beforehand. He was on time, spoke great English and taught us a great deal about the Bahia Palace, the old town, the souk and the Medina. It was a real pleasure and our 3 kids enjoyed it, which was the main thing. Definitely worth the money for a private tour.

A beautiful day - Mohamed was exceptional.
He picked us up at our riad in the centre. We saw the Majorelle steps, the Bahia palace, the tombs, he advised us where to eat for lunch and took us shopping. He was very kind, friendly and competent in explaining everything to us. Super recommended!
