Mohamed was a great guide...

Alex_B, Dec 2025

Mohamed was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Definitely a tour worth taking.

Excellent guide and enjoyable orientation of the busy market area

Jason_N, Nov 2025

Enjoyable wander around the nearby mosques and chaotic market and its streets and alleys. Our guide was very informative and did not overload us with info. Relaxed and friendly.

Great Introductory Tour

Jack_J, Dec 2024

Mohamed was a very knowledgeable and kind guide. He was happy to answer our questions and gave good suggestions for activities. Mohamed was also happy to adapt the tour if we had any particular requests. He was also very punctual.

Marrakech in a nutshell

Aleksandra_C, Nov 2024

Very informative and concise tour. The guide waited for us even tho we got lost at the beginning. The agenda is packed and gives the participant a lot of ideas for own exploration of the city.

No nonsense orientation walking tour of central square and close by souks

Richard_F, Nov 2024

Exactly what we wanted and no more. As described by the guide on his site. As a family of 4, taken for a 2 hour slow paced walking tour. The quietly spoken but informative guide took us through the central square and the streets of the souks giving us a flavour for the sights, sounds and smells of Marrakech with the security of knowing we werent going to get lost. As we were on our own, Zaim offered the opportunity to tailor the tour to our requirements. THis tour gave us our bearings for our own later exploration of the historic notable sites. As expected, this tour does not include entrance to any of these sites.

Walking with the expert

Vittorio_E, Mar 2024

Very good experience with Mohamed. I would recommend. The tour guide easily found us and gave us an extensive walking tour.

Fantastic tour 100% recommend Zaim

Emma_H, Mar 2024

Fantastic tour, very knowledgeable about Marrakesh’ history, felt very safe around the souks & the square. Spoke perfect English, very humble & genuine guy. 100% recommend. Would never have done it without a guide. Emma & Pat from England.

sarah_p, Feb 2023

Great tour very informative.

Adam_P, Jul 2022

We had a great tour, Mohamed was very informative and took us to some very interesting locations while explaining some of the history of Marrakech. We would recommend his tour to anyone visiting.

Enjoyable short walk in Marrakech

mvmac1963, Nov 2019

Lots to see on a 2 hour short walk in Marrakech, got to know a little bit more about the place. Our guide Mr Mohamed was very knowledgeable.

Zaim is een topgids

Arwen_O, Oct 2024

Zaim is een fijne, bescheiden en prettige gids. Hij wist ons op een boeiende manier te leiden door de talloze straatjes van Marrakech. Hij sprak Nederlands met ons, een echte meerwaarde voor ons, hij geeft ook tours in het engels overigens.
