Top Marrakech Private Sightseeing Tours - page 60

Our guide (Rachid) was entertaining and very professional. He made our tour of the Medina Souks interesting and informative and gave us some valuable pointers to purchase genuine items from the myriad of Souks. The tour was a good way to get your bearings in the complex lanes and alleyways of the Medina.

Yazim our driver was wonderful, well versed and knowledgeable pick up and drop off were smooth and easy The three day adventure included 3 lunch stops. Food was good at each but double what we normally pay which is disappointing First nights accommodation was a holiday hotel. After trying a room with a broken bed, then a second with a broken AC we settled into a third room and went out to find dinner, having no faith in the hotels free 8:30 pm dinner. Their free breakfast continued to disappoint The Sahara experience by contrast was a total delight. The camels, the sandbording, the accommodations all perfection. Dinner was late evening 9:00 pm. But that’s a function of sunset activities Todgha Gorge is spectacular would have been fun to swim but time was limited. We did enjoy the walk. Sit Zinbet is a very interesting location. Photogenic and historical. Unfortunately the local guide chose to give a long talk about movies in the middle of a dry river bed at 42 degrees in the sun which set the rest of the tour up for failure Tinghir was a nice walk through some farm land followed by a rug sales pitch. Fortunately I was able to escape the rug sale and found a wonderful bakery where I spent a very pleasant half hour chatting with guides. Overall the three days were well worth the price. The group was fun to hang out with and the Sahara exceeded all expectations

This tour was both enjoyable and informative. We visited places that we never would have been able to find on our own without our guide. The experience was eye-opening and gave us a deeper appreciation for the local culture and markets. I’ll definitely have to come back again—with two empty suitcases—so I can do even more shopping! Highly recommended.
