Great overview of Marrakech history and culture

Nancy_G, May 2025

My guide Hamid was great. He customized the tour to meet my needs. He provided a lot of information on the history of Marrakech. I was able to skip past the long lines at Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs (guides get expedited entry) and he took me through many interesting streets in the medina with no pressure to shop. However, if you want to shop, he will help you.

Worth it!!

Nadine_K, Jul 2024

Hamid was exceptional guide!! Very kind and knowledgeable of history. He also took time to answer questions. He knows his surrounding and historical background of each area visited. I took a private tour with him and which he allowed me to explore everything at my own pace.

Great and informative way to explore the city!

Jeremiah_P, May 2022

Our guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, timely, and although he introduced us to a few stores/sellers, he was never pushy. We learned so much from our guide and would use him again.

Dear Jeremiah, Thanks for your feedback! We are glad that you liked your city tour in Marrakech. Hope to welcome you back soon! Your Explore Morocco Travel Team

Amazing tour

Ismail was a very nice guide. We had an amazing morning and saw every spot we had to see. He also told a lot about the Islam culture, very interesting.

A great morning in Marrakech's Medina

This tour was a great way to get an initial orientation of the Medina of Marrakech. Our guide Salem Azizi was very pleasant, extremely well informed and spoke fluent English - among other languages. For my family and myself, it was a perfect initial introduction to Marrakech and it allowed us to better navigate the Medina from our Riad on our own for the rest of our stay. I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour. Said was a brilliant...

Jennifer_D, Oct 2017

Excellent tour. Said was a brilliant tour guide. 2 of the party have slight mobility issues and he tailored the tour wonderfully to move at their pace and ensure that we saw the best Marrakech had to offer and fill us in with stories and anecdotes along the way. Highly recommended.

My husband and I loved this private...

Jessica G, Sep 2017

My husband and I loved this private tour! Having just arrived in Marrakech, it was the perfect way to see the main attractions and orient ourselves. Our guide Said was sweet and engaging. He knew a lot about each historic site and taught us also about the local culture. Wholeheartedly recommended!

Great and knowledgeable guide...

Ralph K, Dec 2016

Excelente para iniciar o conhecimento da cultura e ter um ideia precisa de como se movimentar na Medina. Ismael, o nosso guia, foi simpático, muito educado e comunicativo. Ensinou-nos numa manhã uma imensidão de pontos importantes sobre a vida em Marrocos. Recomendo totalmente.
