I was very lucky to be the only one on this tour. My guide was excellent and gave me a lot of local knowledge along the way. The stops were excellent and really showed me the Marrakesh centre. Would recommend!

Mohammed was a very good tour guide and was professional from start to finish, informing us of his arrival, describing the main attractions and we really enjoyed our experience of seeing Marrakech with him. The only drawback is the visit to the cooperative where women sell Argan oil and other herbs and spices, as you feel very obliged to buy products and there is no discount offered so expensive day.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour of Marrakech with Mohammed and appreciated his professionalism and knowledge. We understand your concern about the visit to the cooperative, and we apologize if you felt pressured to make purchases. We'll certainly take this into account to improve the experience. Your input is invaluable to us, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future, with a more seamless experience from start to finish!

Fantastic day with Mohammed "Mo" who shared his heritage with us and explained the history and current life in Marrakech. A truly brilliant guide who charmed our shy 7 year old while giving us adults an excellent look at his town. We all learned so much. We loved the visit to the Berber pharmacy where we learned how to use ancient and natural healing products that we have heard about in the states. The insider expertise was great. We found the Medina a bit difficult on our own, but very doable with Mo. Our driver was also named Mohammed, who navigated the crazy busy streets safely and got us close to where we needed to be. Great day for us! I'm such a fan of Viator tours. Thank you.

Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful day exploring Marrakech with Mohammed "Mo" and that he could share his heritage and insights with you. We're especially glad that your 7-year-old enjoyed the experience as well — Mo takes great pride in making the tours engaging for all ages.
We're delighted that the visit to the Berber pharmacy and the insights into natural healing remedies left such a positive impression. Navigating the Medina can indeed be a challenge, but we're happy that Mo's guidance made it easier for you.
We'll also pass along your kind words to our driver, Mohammed, who always strives to ensure our guests feel safe and comfortable.
Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again on your next Viator tour!

It started well, we wanted more of a drive and get out type of tour but there was a lot of walking involved. The guide took us to where he obviously got a kick back in a medical shop and was obviously not impressed when we refused to go in. For this I would not recommend this trip!!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a balanced experience that includes both driving and walking to fully appreciate the destinations. We apologize if the amount of walking was more than anticipated.
Regarding the visit to the medical shop, our guides are encouraged to share local spots that they believe may interest our guests, but participation is always optional. We're sorry if this came across differently and for any discomfort it caused.
We value your input and will use it to improve our tours. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. If you have any further comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact us directly.

Loved the tour! It was very relaxing, great stories and me as a female solo traveler felt very comfortable. The guide had a lot of knowledge and speaks perfect English and even some Dutch!

We had a wonderful half day tour with Aziz. He promptly met us at our Riad and was courteous through out and even brought us cold bottles of water. His knowledge of the history and culture of Marrakech was impressive and his pacing of the various sights just right. Our favorite was Jardin Majorelle. Aziz showed us immense hospitality, taking us to a wonderful rooftop lunch and then shopping at some of the wonderful shops in the souk market. Even our two teenage boys appreciated his style and friendliness. Aziz was fantastic and we would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Marrakech.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your half day tour with Aziz. His knowledge, pacing, and hospitality truly made your experience memorable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Looking forward to welcoming you back.

Our guide took us for a personalized tour of Marrakech. Our tour included must see sights as well as special attractions.

Very nice tour, good chauffeur service included. Our guide Yassine told us a lot about the history of Marrakech
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for your feedback. We are really happy you enjoyed the tour with us :)
nicolenchang, Mar 2023
Our guide was nice, but he did not seem excited to share the history of Marrakech. He told us a lot of facts but was not very engaging or charismatic, and he only offered to take our photo once. We did three tours in Marrakech, and both other tours had guides who were high energy and clearly wanted us to have an excellent experience. This one did not seem to care if we enjoyed ourselves or not.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello,
Thank you so much for your feedback about the tour.
We appologise for that, we will tray to do the best in the futur with our selection of tour guides.
Thank you
Tsambika_J, Feb 2023
Whilst we did get to see the sights, our tour started 1.5 hours late which was very frustrating as we only had one day in Marrakech. There was also some issue with the police pulling our transport over and interrogating the driver.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you so much for your feedback, we are sorry for the delay that was because of the family emergency of the driver.
Robert_B, Jan 2023

This was an awesome half-day out in Marrakech. Thanks to a good driver and an awesomely knowledgeable and incredibly patient guide; nothing was too much for both.

Thirza_O, Dec 2022
The tour guide has extensive knowledge of the city and its history. His stories about the buildings, mosques, gardens and palace are amazing!
Both the tour guide and driver are very kind, funny, knowledgeable and cheerful.
When you book their city tour you will have a wonderful unique day in Marrakech.
Laila_P, Oct 2022
Baseem was very gracious knowledgeable. His English was very good. He made sure we had enough time to see everything we wanted to. We definitely recommend him.
Shay_B, Oct 2022
We had a great tour with our guide and driver. I highly recommend if you come with small children to have a private tour.
Evangeline_F, Aug 2022
We were picked up near our hotel and first brought to a herbal co-operative where we were served mint tea. Afterwards, we drove into the desert and took pictures with and of the sand dunes. When we arrived at our dining destination, we were seated at a table with a lovely view of the oncoming sunset.
Our starter of vegetable soup, bread and rice was cold (however, on reflection, we believe that is typical to Morocco). There was also salad. Our tagine took about an hour and a half to come and by then it was so dark that we needed to turn on torches to see the food. They also served my daughter vegetarian tagine despite stating she wasn't vegetarian. They were very apologetic for the wait, explaining that it was because there were a lot more people than usual, which was understandable. We were also given yummy watermelon for our dessert.
As the night came, the atmosphere turned from sour to lovely. There was a band that played lovely music which encouraged a lot of people to get up and dance. The starry sky looked brilliant as there was very little light pollution.
Our tour guide was very kind and charismatic, always checking up on us and bringing joy. Unfortunately I never asked for his name, but he was wearing a green shirt. Overall good experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thank you for your wonderful and helpful feedback about your experience, we are so happy you enjoyed the tour. Your feedback will be taken into consideration regarding the food for the next time.
Tatiana_H, Jul 2022
Our driver and tour guide were great; wish I remembered their names (I asked!). The service was top notch, informative and perfect for what we needed as Mom cannot walk around from place to place, especially in the heat. I loved learning about the history behind each place, I normally do it on my own. Highly recommended.
Picked solo, as traveling with older parent is not available as a choice
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thank you Tatiana,
We are so glad you enjoyed the tour with us.

Marrakech City.
Katerina_P, Jun 2022
I had the best time in my private city tour! My tour guide was fluent in English, extremely knowledgeable and very kind. He took the time to explain the history behind every landmark with details that I would have never known if I were to visit them on my own. After each place our transport was waiting outside to take us to the next place. The van was deluxe and with air conditioner. The guide took the time to share recommendations for best places in the city and answer all my questions, take pictures and even translate on the wall. Highly recommend it it’s a great way to start your trip.
Thank you for the great services!
Dujonna_G, Jun 2022
The trip was great. The guide was always on time and helpful suggesting what to do and where to go to get the most out of the excursion. Highly recommend!!
Yzelle_P, Jun 2022
Our half day trip was full of learnings. Nordin our guide, was very informative and he did his task on providing us sufficient knowledge about the place. Also, he is very considerate. He makes sure that his clients are comfortable and would suggest places that is way much better. He is also very respectful, he see’s to it that during the tour, we won’t be able to disturb other tourist but at the same time not compromising our learning and experience. In totality, he is a great guide!! Experience was indeed worth while!
Wilhelmus_W, May 2022
The guide Aziz was great! He explained everything very well and took is to the most beautiful places. He also gave a lot of tips. Would definitely recommend this privat tour!
Lindsay_B, Apr 2022
We had a very nice, informative tour with our guide, Nourdine. He recommended a great, local restaurant for tangia and tajine. Really enjoyed the palace.
Juliana_B, Mar 2022
We had a wonderful time!

Alia_C, Oct 2021
The half day tour was good I did the driver only option. The driver was very patient as we wanted to spend a lot of time at majorelle gardens and he came back to pick us up at the time we asked. We also went to the sadiaan tombs and a facility with women that sold argan oil, spices and other products. Overall I was very happy with this tour.
