We were a little cautious about navigating the medina by ourselves so we booked this tour in the hope that we could enjoy the sights without being hassled and also learn a little something of the history. The tour did not disappoint - Hakeem was full of knowledge and shared so many interesting stories with us. He conducted the tour at a pace that suited us and our children and allowed us time to browse when we wanted. He was brilliant with the children, took us to see some really amazing artisans and was generally just a really kind and interesting man - highly recommend!

We was basically paying for the taxi to the market. Rushed round the market no oppurtunity to stop to look.

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.

It was a good experience with Mohammed, as our very knowledgeable guide. He’s from the “neighborhood”, so knows the layout of things very well. He was friendly and respectful, thoroughly taking us through the various souks while patiently waiting as we shopped. Would recommend him and the tour again!

We loved the tour. We booked this for the very start of our trip and are glad that we did. Rachid G showed us and another couple round the markets, and we had a few key stops - our favourite was the herbalist and Wadid was our lovely host who talked us through all the herbs, spices, oils and medicines. Really helpful to understand the dos and don’ts of the medina before tackling haggling! Thanks Rachid, we had a great time.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you chose to take the tour at the beginning of your stay in Marrakech and that it helped you gain confidence exploring the Medina and its vibrant markets.
We’re especially happy that Rachid helped make the experience enjoyable and informative, and that you appreciated the visit to the herbalist. Learning about local herbs, spices, oils, traditions, and bargaining tips is a great way to better understand the culture and make the most of your time in Marrakech.
Thank you for your kind words, and we’re thrilled that you had such a great time!

This is a shopping tour of the souks versus a history of the different souks. You are taken off the beaten track, which was kind of nice. Unfortunately many of the shops were closed due to the Eid holiday.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased that you enjoyed discovering some of the less-traveled areas of the souks and appreciated seeing parts of Marrakech that many visitors might otherwise miss.
We also understand your disappointment that several shops were closed during the Eid holiday, which can affect the overall experience and atmosphere in the Medina. We appreciate your comments and thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Best regards.

Bridget_D, May 2026
Our tour was okay. It was good to get our bearings on the souks and be more comfortable with it. However at times it felt like we were being taken to the guides friends stores where the prices were high and products were not unique. Additionally, we were not given tips on how to haggle or what good prices were. We found we got better prices on our own. We did like the carpet place and found unique rugs for a good price. Overall, would recommend just door get comfortable with the souks and then do more shopping on your own!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re happy that the tour helped you feel more comfortable navigating the souks of Marrakech and that you enjoyed discovering the carpet shop and finding unique rugs.
At the same time, we sincerely appreciate your comments regarding the shopping stops and bargaining advice. We understand your concerns and will take your feedback into consideration as we continue improving our Marrakech shopping experiences and making them more informative and balanced for our guests.

This was really walk through the medina, guiding there was not. Most of the time guide was talking on the phone. He rushed through the medina like he was hurry to be somewhere else. It looked like there was really no plan except trying to get us inside some partner shops.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We appreciate your feedback and regret that your guided souk adventure felt rushed and less informative than expected. This is not the standard we aim for, and we will take your comments seriously to improve both guidance quality and overall experience.

Deni, Apr 2026
Good introduction to the souks- but did not expect it to be a high end shopping trip. We were taken to several places where we felt pressured into buying. The prices were very high and we felt ripped off. We felt the tour guide made us more vulnerable, and did not offer the protection from this as we expected.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry this Marrakech shopping tour did not meet your expectations and that some shop visits felt uncomfortable. We aim for an authentic experience without pressure, and your comments will help us improve.

Priscilla_A, Apr 2026
The tour guide was nice but our tour was supposed to last 2.5 hours. The guide kept taking us to all the people he knew to try and get us to buy something. It was obvious. After we didn't purchase anything, he told us the tour is over because he had another tour. The total time of the tour was 1 hour, 15 minutes
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry this Marrakech cultural experience did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the tour duration and your experience with the shop stops. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we take your comments very seriously.

We had a great time with our guide Ali. He was funny, informative and he took us off the beaten track to places we
wouldn’t have found on our own. Lovely friendly group of people, small group! Great tour all round 😊

LaShawn_B, Apr 2026
This was a great tour. Our tour guide Mohammed was knowledgeable and helpful. Our group was small and quite nice. I recommend pinning any shops you wish to revisit on Google Maps. The souk is quite the maze. The guide definitely stops at partner vendors but that’s okay. I appreciated the vendors and purchased many items.
The meeting place has many different groups and can be a bit chaotic. Don’t worry. Your guide will track you down.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that you enjoyed your Marrakech shopping tour with Mohammed and appreciated both the small group atmosphere and the local artisan stops. Great tip about pinning favorite shops in the souks of Marrakech 😊

We were very disappointed as had heard from other travellers they had a tour and learnt a lot, ours was a shopping trip to what felt like his friends shops
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience felt more like a shopping trip than the enriching cultural journey we aim to provide. Our goal is always to offer an authentic souks of Marrakech experience, combining local insights with meaningful discoveries, and it’s clear we fell short in your case. We take your comments seriously and will review this with our team to ensure a more balanced and informative guided souk adventure for future guests.

The guide (Mohamed) did not make any attempt to find us. He actually walked away, and if not for another tour operator, it would not of happened. This is not a tour of the souqs, it’s a shopping trip to the guide’s favourite shops.
We said no rug shops at the beginning, yet we were taken to a rug shop! We were looking for history and an overview of the workings of the souq, but we got none of that.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We sincerely appreciate your feedback and are sorry for your experience. This is not the standard we aim to provide on our Marrakech shopping tour.
Our tours are designed to be informative and flexible, and we will review this situation carefully with the guide to ensure better alignment with guests’ expectations.

Great way to familiarise yourself with the Souks and understand how they work and where to find everything. We really enjoyed the tour, found it interesting and a perfect start to our Marrakech holiday, especiallly when we had a very early start and were aclimatising ourself to the hustle and bustle that is Marrakech

Overall, the experience was not bad. However, the tour guide was late due to traffic, so we felt that our time during the tour was rushed. There were times where we felt that the tour guide was a bit pushy.
