We met Kamal at 4pm and he provided us with a tailored trip. We chose to have some history and shopping and had a great experience. Kamal was very knowledgeable and great company. Kamal also dropped us at a restaurant that he recommended wish was delicious. Can’t rate highly enough.

The best way to see the city! Very helpful!

Mariette_H, May 2024

We were met by Kamal at our Riad and he was so friendly, professional and polite. He asked us what our priority was for our tour and so we told him where we preferred to see and what we were not so bothered about. He walked us around the Medina, he was very knowledgeable, and made us laugh a lot too! He was incredibly patient as we looked around the souks, and at the end even walked us to our restaurant we had booked for lunch. Nothing was too much for him. I would thoroughly recommend him to help you get your bearings around the city centre and understand the history and culture of Marrakech. Thank you Kamal!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hello Mariette, Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that I could make your experience in the Medina enjoyable and informative. It was a pleasure tailoring the tour to your preferences and helping you explore the souks. I’m happy I could assist you with your restaurant plans too. Your recommendation means a lot to me. Looking forward to guiding you again in the future! Safe travels!

A Great Tour with a Great Guide

lawrence_b, Dec 2023

In looking at booking a private tour of Marrakech we wanted to get a good overview as a start to our visit. Kamal exceeded all expectations and gave us a good education on history, time and place. He was warm and hospitable, as well as knowledgeable and really knew the Medina as well as all the souks, which were best for what we were looking for. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you may make a friend for life in Kamal.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Evelyn_V, Nov 2022

Very friendly the guide and he takes beautiful pictures. But I think the tour can visit other important places.

Amazing guide!

Daniel_S, Jul 2022

Kamal was a fantastic tour guide! We saw everything we could in our full day tour and his insights were amazing. Kamal walked us through the medina telling us the stories of Marrakech and was also the best amateur photographer he could be for us 😁. I would recommend Kamal and this tour to anyone that wants a relaxing pace to the day but still wants to see all the main attractions of the city. We will be back and use Kamal in the future!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Mijn vader en ik hebben een ontzettend gezellige, leerzame en mooie tour met Mohammed gehad. Hij heeft veel kennis van zijn land, de stad Marrakesh en is erg vriendelijk. Echt top!

Consigliato una delle migliori guide di Marrakesh

simona_f, May 2024

Giro per Marrakesh molto interessante, Kamal si conferma una buonissima guida Noi eravamo alla nostra seconda volta a Marrakesh e ci ha portato a vedere le cose che ci mancavano. In più è un buonissimo fotografo conosce gli scorci giusti e ci ha fatto tante foto ricordo.
