The Souks were worth the visit

Sonia_B, Apr 2024

We had an enjoyable time exploring the souks. It was more expensive than what we expected but overall it was interesting and worth it. Our guide Hassan was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing Experience

Anaisa_M, Mar 2024

Excellent tour guide, he went above and beyond for us and made sure that we felt comfortable at all times.

Wonderful shopping experience

Kurt_G, Feb 2024

Our guide, Mohamed, first asked us what we were interested in seeing and the took us through the souks to those places. Excellent shops with helpful staff. Only problem: my wife bought too much. Highly recommended.

The best shopping experience

Mariko_S, Nov 2023

Hassan is a kind and professional tour guide you can ever have. He takes you to the authentic shops of your preferred products. Without him, you will never know those places. I wished I had booked him in for other tours.

Hidden gems

Helga_G, Oct 2022

Saw places off of the beaten pass-Mohammed was very knowledgeable about the Medina and its products-since it was only 3 of us we had enough time to linger over things that interested us and bargain

Bad experience

Rosemary_M, Jul 2022

Very bad experience. The guide was trying to take us to places to buy and all were trying to charge us 5x prices because we were tourists. Don’t recommend

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. To clarify for everyone, this customer she wasn't feeling well, and she decided to finish the tour after just 40 minutes whereas the time of the tour is 3 hours. As a result of this, we were flexible and we issued a ful refund. She didn't experience our tour to judge us, and she didn't bought anything from the market. Unfortunately recently we received many complains like that just because they wanted to get refunded. Thank you

Wonderful, tailored tour

Joe_M, Jul 2022

Mohammed was a wonderful guide; knowledgeable, interesting and kind, especially with the kids. We learned so much, saw amazing sights and came away with some beautiful momentos. He also recommended a fabulous place for lunch! Thank you so much for a really special experience.

Very highly recommended guide to the souks

Lorna_S, May 2022

Mohammed's younger brother, also Mohammed, took me on a wonderful tour of the souks, visiting craftsmen that I would never otherwise have found and sights I would not otherwise have seen. He was a patient, interesting and interested guide and a helpful negotiator where required and I had the most enjoyable morning in the souks of the Medina. His English was excellent and he was very professional and knowledgeable. VERY highly recommended indeed. 6 stars if available!

More of a history lesson

Marlena_B, Apr 2022

Like someone else said it’s more of history lesson then shopping to be honest . You go deep into market where u can find Moroccan style clothing but designer ones are all right at the beginning. My kids were a bit bored they wanted to see monkey and snakes but Mo advised not to. Shops were very pricey where he took us am talking over 1000 mad for item . He’s lovely guy and easy to talk to I just think it’s more of history lesson not shopping

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you for sharing your feedback about the tour Marlena. The tour is based to give you an idea about the souks and the Medina in general and the history and culture of Morocco and not just to take you to many shops and by the end it will be a boring tour. I think my job it's to give you informations about history of the souks and culture, if not why did you booked this tour? You said that your kids wanted to see the snakes and monkeys ... I would like to inform you that we don't do that in this tour. However, we did our job for kids to not getting bored on the tour which unfortunately was not mentioned on your review: the kids enjoyed the challenges of opening wooden boxes by an artisan's which was more educational and entertaining...and they were happy....I think the kids are not used to the heat.. Please read the full description of the tour to understand... before you book any tour in the future. I deserved better than this review. Thank you.

Well worth it !

Neil_F, Apr 2022

We did think about just heading around the souks and medinas on our own but would never have found half the areas we ended up in. Incredible craftsmanship at work throughout . Our guide was really knowledgeable and the 3 hours literally flew by even though it was tipping it down with rain!

Insightful tour of the souk

Gerry_D, Apr 2022

Mohammed took us to places we wouldn't have discovered on our own and he was very informative about the history and culture of Marrakech.

Amazing Experience!!

Patrick_O, Mar 2022

I had an absolutely amazing time on this shopping tour. Mohammed was my tour guide and he brought me to all the places I wanted to see and helped me negotiate the price down. It was really a great experience and a great introduction to Marrakesh Medina on my first day. Thank you Mohammed!

Amazing way to see the Souks!

Elizabeth_G, Sep 2021

My friend and I took this tour our first day in Marrakech and highly recommend it! Mohammed was our guide and not only was he well versed on the history of souks and Marrakech, but he catered the tour to things we were interested in and showed us local places we never would have found other wise. When he took us to shops and stalls we didn’t feel pressure to buy and even after we had negotiated prices down he would talk to the vendors and ensure we got fair prices. It was a great way to start the trip and he even left us with recommendations for places and restaurants to visit during our stay.

A great way to get to know the city

Rachel_M, Mar 2020

We had Mohammad as our guide and I can’t recommend him high enough! It also made us feel more comfortable exploring a new city, having someone who knew how the city worked and could get us orientated. He was so friendly and informative, and very patient while we were rug shopping!

Not so much shopping

Eva_O, Mar 2020

Our guide was very nice but he thought we were to do a sightseeing tour. He adapted our tour to shopping but didn’t deter from places he obviously had an arrangement with. Whe we tried to stop places he said he was taking us to look at .... say slippers.... or whatever. I wanted to go into a big shop but he said later later. Spoke a lot about history which was very interesting but it was meant to be a shopping tour!!!!

great trip for if you are pushed for time and need to get selective shopping purchased as our guide was great

Julia_C, Mar 2020

Wonderful shopping trip our tour guide was highly knowledgeable, and took us to all the places we wished to visit for our shopping. Great fun bartering in the Markets.

Worthwhile and you wont get lost!

JoAnn_S, Feb 2020

It's a really good structured way to explore the Medina, souks and culture of Marrakech. Nice and friendly guide.

Fantastic experience

Pam_S, Feb 2020

Very interesting and lovely guide. Would definitely recommend this trip around the souks of Marrakech.

Amazing!

Martel_D, Jan 2020

My sister surprised me with a trip to Morocco for my Xmas present. We wanted to experience the market but not on our own so we decided to book this tour. From the moment we met Aziz at the meeting place we felt we were in safe hands. We informed him what we were after at the market and boy did he deliever. He not only gave us informative information about Marrakesh and the local cities, he allowed us to taste some local cakes and fruits as well as purchasing the items we wanted and seeing other parts of the market. Amongst our conversations Aziz found out we had not been to the market at night when the food stalls were out. Our tour was in the afternoon and would have ended when it started to get dark, he went the extra mile to give us a little tour of the food market and explain the local cuisine which we felt was very kind of him. I must say the hussle and bustle of the food market at night was magical. Thank you Aziz it was a tour we both will never forget.

Prima uscita della...

Angela_C, May 2023

Prima uscita della vacanza veramente impeccabile! Guida professionale ed attenta ad ogni richiesta, spiegazioni e aneddoti locali raccontati con trasporto e semplicità. La passeggiata è durata molto più dell'orario. Pienamente soddisfatta!
