Guided tours are not...

Marcus_A, Feb 2026

Guided tours are not something I usually like but our guide Abdullah made me change my mind. He was funny, knowledgeable and kept the group active. Great way to see marrakech with some real info and history. 100% recommended

Response from Host, Feb 2026

"I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour! Changing a skeptic's mind is my favorite part of the job. It was a pleasure sharing the history of my city with such an active group. Thank you for the kind words! – Mohamed"

Nice walking history tour

Allison_H, Nov 2025

This was a nice tour. We went to many local historical areas and learned about elements of each. Our guide was very casual and did not go deeply into any subject, but overall it was a nice walking tour and we did see many locations.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Allison, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback ! Thank you for your note ! We will tale into consideration ! Hope to see you next time! Kind regards, MGT

Historical half day tour.

Alison_B, Aug 2025

The guide insisted on waiting on people who were up to 30 minutes late. Duration 3hrs was reduced to 2hrs. 7 stops advertised which we did not have. English speaking tour but half spoke French so the guide held the rest of us up while a translator repeated what he said. Expensive tour, definitely not good value for money.

Good intro the souks

Sana_A, Feb 2020

An informative, pleasant guide who took us to many workshops we wouldn't have ordinarily seen by ourselves. Could have had some history behind the souks, mosques and palaces etc. It wasnt quite what was advertised as we didnt walk past many of the places listed. Ie Koutoubia mosque, palaces hammams or receive the Moroccan tea. In hindsight many of the places described within the itinerary were too far away to walk to anyway! Ie Jardin majorelle

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Hello, I am sorry that parts of the tour was not to your liking. We try to satisfy our guests but you should also talk about what you want to see, would be better than a delayed feedback. The tour you booked is not a historical tour however it includes the Souks and Medina. The Majorel garden is not included in our itenerary. The tour can be customized to your interests if you talk to your guide. Anyway, Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Mohammed

I didn’t get what I paid for..

Roberta_H, Oct 2019

I booked the private shopping experience but 2 additional tourist were allowed to come as well. It was not private as advertised and I had paid an additional fee. Disappointing.
