    Great introduction to the medina of Marrakech
    Cynthia_W, Oct 2023
    The guide was terrific and we saw a lot. The tour of the medina was quite comprehensive and we saw interesting parts of the medina and the palace. Would recommend it for sure

    Very cool! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind, led us through the medina safely and with lots of interesting information. He even gave us an excellent dinner recommendation.
    Worse Tour in Viator - do NOT take it
    maira787, Jun 2023
    This is NOT a walking tour, but a rip-off! The so-called guide is really a guy who takes you into the medina, to stores where he gets a commission if you buy. He will show you "the best spots", not where I wanted to go, and even after telling him multiple times that I did NOT want to go into certain stores he still took me there. Honestly, I felt unsafe. I told him that I was not feeling great (not true) so that I could go get out of there. Very politely I asked him to show me where the taxi stand was and even then he wanted a commission from the driver. I told the driver to drive fast. I contacted Viator but nothing was done. HORRIBLE experience
    Excellent tour
    Nicola_U, Apr 2023
    We booked this because we’ve never been to Marrakesh before and wanted some guidance on the best places to see. Our guide was brilliant he answered all our questions as we slowly walked around the medina, and we never felt hurried. He gave us some good ideas for restaurants and some shopping options - it would be rude to come to Marrakesh without buying a rug!

    Great morning tour... A++++
    JeffreyG_S, Apr 2023
    My first time in Morroco. Hussein was a great guide. It was only he and I on the tour so I got a private tour... He was very witty and knowledgable and I enjoyed his company for a few hours. There were a couple times I felt pressured by merchants but he intervened and "saved" me. I've found this is pretty typical in Marrakech but certainly no reflection on him. All in all a very enjoyable morning.

    Total bust -- not worth the time!
    Jane_M, Apr 2023
    This tour was a total bust! Walked from one end of the Medina to the other then back across, no joke!!! Guide provided no facts, history, nothing but escorted us through Medina. He told us at the end he'd take us to a great shopping location with NO PRESSURE. There was nothing special about the location and crushing pressure to pay exorbitant prices for things we'd seen at a fraction of the cost. Don't say you weren't warned.
    Response from Host, Apr 2023
    Hello dear thanks for your review, please note that our guide need to do meeting point at the center of the medina and even your riad is far from the center of Marrakech and we are in ramadan he go by walking to escorts you from your riad to the center of Medina and this option it's not included in your tour, And he said that he do the best tour with you but at the end you said...
    Excellent start to your visit
    jondesausmarez, Feb 2023
    Very good introduction to Marrakech and also the culture and customs. We did this on our first day and I would recommend this for all. The tour guide was very interesting and helpful. We visited an excellent traditional residence which reflected the Moroccan styles and architecture. Visited a herbalist, gift shop and a lovely traditional bread maker with a real fire oven. The furnace for the Hammam was another good stop. Personally, I would have preferred slightly more historic sites as that interests me more than a herbalist or gift shop so if I was giving feedback, I would suggest the guide gives some options at the beginning so tailoring the needs of the guests.

    Nice tour but superficial
    Matteo_G, Feb 2023
    Nice experience and also the guide was nice. The only thing, maybe some visits were too fast, I think we didn’t spent enough time in some location and the guide was a bit superficial in explaining and telling to us the story, only saying “take a picture” of this place.
    Not a good experience
    Natanaiel_A, Jan 2023
    Miss communication with operator waisting time waiting due to miscommunication and price far to high for what was offered. Ps. It was not mentioned that your will take u to priminster palace but had to be payed separately in cash
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Hello dear thanks for your review please note that it's mentioned that the tickets for all monuments its not included you need to pay the entrance fees
    Exceptional guide!
    Sarah_H, Dec 2022
    Our experience with Ahmed was exceptional! As a professor of history, he was able to bring each remarkable place we visited to life. He was prompt, personable, and thoughtful in answering all of our questions. He even continued to assist us after we left Marrakech, helping us connect with other wonderful guides in Essaouira and in Fes. Highly recommend!
    Response from Host, Dec 2022

    Fantastic tour of historic Marrakech
    Paul_B, Oct 2022
    A great tour covering loads of interesting parts of the history of Marrakech in a really interesting and engaging way. A definite must for anyone wanting to look beyond the Souks to understand more about the history and culture of the city. Very highlyrecommended!

    Express trip to Marrakech
    LUCY_R, Jul 2022
    Mohamed our guide was the best, polite, kind an very knowledgeable, he was explaining every single thing to us and kept on Asking if we have any other question, he has too many friends with little shops around that also allows us to learn even more inside the medina and their artesans.
    Response from Host, Jul 2022
    We are very happy to hear that you are satisfied with our guide Mohamed all time he do the best,we hope to see you soon in Marrakech Have a lovely day
    Wouldn’t go again
    Roxanne_J, Jul 2022
    Average experience, our guide was very nice and knowledgable but the tour itself after the saadian tombs and the behir palace seemed to just be taking us into place where we felt forced to tip while the guide sat on his phone. Could’ve done the tour ourselves had we have known it would be like this. Great tour guide, wrong tour.
    Response from Host, Jul 2022
    Hello! The tour guide had done the itineray in the description, and as you have booked another tour in the morning before our city tour, our tour guide asked you whether would like to have a walk in the souks or not, but you replied by yes. Our description is widely clear enough, it includes Koutoubia Mosque, Saadien Tombs, Bahia Palace, the souks and the main square of Jamaa el Fna.. The souks includes workshops and it's not a must to buy, the artisans made demonstrations to exhibit their products, and you have not forced to spend any pound.
    Good city tour
    Jason_C, Jun 2022
    Was a good tour but I think it would have been good to be aware that there were several paid entry museums on the trip. But generally worth it

    Great Tour, highly recommended
    Charis_M, May 2022
    Khalid was a superb guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He knew all the locals too and adjusted the tour according to my preferences. I saw all the highlights of the Medina in just a few hours, just as I had asked for (due to time limitations). Highly recommended tour and guide.

    Oussama was a GREAT guide!
    ConnorNicosia, May 2022
    Our guide Oussama was very knowledable and gave us a great tour of the medina. It was definitely a memorable experience from our time in Marrakech!

    Great tour with Oussama!
    Nick_M, Mar 2022
    We loved our tour with Oussama! We covered most of Marrakech medina and he shared lots of stories as well as information about the Muslim faith, which was very interesting. Definitely recommend touring the tombs and palace with a guide as you get lots more interesting information.

    Learning the history of sites of Marrakesh
    John_E, Mar 2022
    My guide was first class. He was extremely knowledgable and showed me the attraction as per our program. We visit the Palace, Saadian tombs and the Medina. He explained in detail the history of each place we visited plus additional facts. He appeared to have many nice friends in the area because as we walked around, he was favourably greeted with a number of locals . He was helpful courteous and a very likeable young man. I recommend this tour as it gives you much insight into the life of the people of Marrakesh. Hopefully you’ll have guide as knowledgeable as mine.
