A well spent morning in Marrakech
Laurel_N, Apr 2024
The whole tour was pleasant, and was a highlight of our Marrakech experience. Azim generously shared so much of his experience as a Moroccan Man. We learned a lot about the culture and history as well as seeing interesting nooks and crannies.

Disappointment
Jukka_V, Apr 2024
The title promises more than you will receive. There are really no hidden sites, it is more or less a walking tour around the Medina.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi I am disappointed too. You were a finnish family of 4 people .I was not expecting to get a such opinion from you as There were two other people with us who enjoyed the tour very much. This was their feedback" Excellent tour guide. Wonderful tour with a lot of historic details of Marrakesh. A must see and do!" You might be wrong and they were right ✅️ or the other way round. These were some of the main hidden Sights we saw :Bakery,Farnachi,Caravanserai, Sidi Abdel Aziz Tabaa Mausoleum, the bookbinder and artisans workshops that would not be possible to find them by yourselves and more... Anyway thank you. Best wishes
Great tour.

This is easily one of the best tours I've ever been on, and I've been on a LOT of tours!! Mohamed is the most knowledgeable guide, taking us to places I would have never known to stop. His rich knowledge of history and culture is impressive, as is his genuine kindness. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to get a behind the scenes look at Marrakech!

Before a you book anything... book this half day wond
A_Y, Jan 2024
One of the best and most informative tours I have taken while in Marrakesh! Muhammad made this trip such a success that I have already recommended it everyone that has asked for recommendations for things to while in Marrakesh. You not have any regrets while booked this tour, at all. Unnecessary to look elsewhere as Muhammad is such a great tour guide and absolutely nothing is an issue for him. This trip is also highly accessible for people with disabilities and I highly recommend it above all others.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
I am flattered by your wonderful feedback. I am so grateful to you for any nicely word you have used to describe your tour with me. A visit to the ironic Medina of Marrakech is a must; a UNESCO world heritage site,filled with narrow streets, traditional shops,ovens and bustling markets. It is an open air museum that needs to be well explored and of course curious travellers like you make its visit more,interesting and exciting. Thank you so much again for having booked the tour with me. I love you and I wish you 🤞 ❤️ a lovely holiday in your second home country Morocco 🇲🇦 ❤️ ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
100% recommend to anyone interested in getting into the real Marrakech
Marta_S, Nov 2023
We had a great experience and the tour was really nice. The guide Azim puts a lot of passion in not just showing the hidden sites of Marrakech, but also sharing some of the history and the culture of Morocco. In my view, what makes the tour so interesting is not just the sight-seeing, but the opportunity of really getting in touch with locals and learn from their culture, watch their craftsmanship and get them to share a little piece of Marrakech with you. I recommend the tour to anyone who wants to have a real taste of Marrakech and its people, for a more in-depth immersion in the culture and history of this magical place.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Oh! What can I say about two angels from Switzerland. Two animals lovers like me. Dear Marta and Abbey you are the kindest people I have ever met.We were close to each other in many aspects of life. You were so smart and the talk with you was so pleasant and interesting despite the difference in culture. I have met a lot travellers but you are so special and sweet that you will definitely stay in my mind and Heart ❤️. Both of you are the salt of the earth with whom I have learnt that the world is full of lovely poeple like you..Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback.

Terrific Tour of Marrakech’s Hidden Sites
Karen_A, Nov 2023
My four friends and I loved everything about our Hidden Sites of Marrakech tour with Mohammad. We arrived early at our meeting spot to find him already waiting for us. Before proceeding, he gave us a thumbnail sketch of what we would be seeing. His enthusiasm about and love for Marrakech and Morocco were contagious. During our meandering walk of 3-4 miles, he maintained a pleasant pace, stopping along the way to discuss what we were seeing. Some of our favorite things were learning more about the culture and history of this beautiful country and getting glimpses behind the scenes. Mohammad showed and brought us inside a “public bakery” where residents bring their own bread dough for baking (cost: 1 dirham) and a public cooking place where residents bring pots of various meats to be cooked for hours. We were permitted to photograph in both spots. We also enjoyed Mohammad leading us through the souk where true artisans worked their crafts: cutting & dyeing leather from which beautiful creations emerged and blacksmiths, woodworkers and jewelers hard at work. He treated us to coffee and tea at a restaurant in the square (bathroom available there). About halfway through the tour, he bought us some most welcome water. We finished with an entertaining visit to a spice merchant where we bought all sorts of spices and fragrant oils. Our tour was an excellent value and we truly enjoyed getting to know Mohammad, a knowledgeable, professional and extremely kind new friend!

Unveiling the Hidden Charms of Marrakech with Mohammad
Amalie_B, Oct 2023
Our exploration of Marrakech was notably elevated by the expertise and charm of our tour guide, Mohammad. From the initial greeting, his genuine warmth and proficiency promised an intriguing journey through the enchanting realms of the city. Navigating through the vibrant chaos of the Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, Mohammad enlightened our path with delightful tales and fascinating historical facts. His adept maneuvering through the lively souks and grandiose palaces revealed a Marrakech that was as enthralling as it was mysterious. Mohammad didn’t just guide us; he created a bridge, connecting us to the rich tapestry of culture, tradition, and history that the city so exuberantly embodies. Thank you, Mohammad, for crafting an unforgettable, enchanting Marrakech adventure!

Friendly and amazing introduction to Marrakech with lots of insights
Janet_G, Aug 2023
My group of 10 friends did a walking tour with Muhammed through the main market square, several important sections and sights in the Medina, and through the Souks. Our guide was friendly and insightful! We learned a great deal and had a lot of fun with him seeing the amazing colors, experiencing sights/sounds/smells/tastes, learning what to look for, and being introduced to some sights and experiences I am sure we would have completely missed on our own. The tour was the perfect amount of time (between 2.5 and 3 hours) and was a highlight of our entire experience in Morocco.
Response from Host, Aug 2023

A very special and amazing tour
Kerri_L, Jun 2023
My colleague and I had a day spare from a conference and booked last minute - A truly informative and enjoyable tour. We had a great morning, learning about the local culture and visiting the Souk. You really do need a guide to go into the deepest parts of the Souk, otherwise it would be so easy to get lost. Having a guide that has a passion for what they do, along with the knowledge, makes for a special tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Yes! Dear Kerri :I still remember that day too. It was an enjoyable morning with two beautiful and cheerful princesses from London. I am so happy to hear from you and I would like also to thank you for your wonderful feedback. We had a friendly tour and made me feel like one of your best friends. I love you and wish you would reach your goals Sincerely yours Mohamed A.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
