Delightful experience!

I had a fantastic experience shopping for Argan oil and Moroccan spices with Mohamed! We were warmly welcomed at Café Argana and enjoyed a short walk through the Medina before arriving at the cooperative. The staff greeted us with delicious mint tea, and our guide Youssef explained everything about the products Argan oils, creams, spices, herbs, and honey. With his guidance, I confidently selected many high-quality, authentic Moroccan products to take home. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic, safe, and enjoyable shopping experience!

Pizza tours Morocco

We recently went on a trip to Marrakesh, Morocco and had the most amazing time. One of the highlights of our holiday was having Mohamed from izzy Tours as our tour guide. He took care of everything from the moment we landed. He booked all our excursions and made the whole experience completely stress free. We did the camel ride, the desert safari, visited the spice factory, explored the souks, and had local food experiences that we’ll never forget. Every single thing was organised perfectly and timed so well. He made sure we got the most out of each day without feeling rushed. Mohamed was so kind and down to earth, always checking in to see if we were okay and genuinely making sure we were happy with everything. The service he provided was outstanding and the prices were so affordable compared to others we looked at. There were no hidden costs or last minute surprises. What we saw is exactly what we got and more. If you’re planning to visit Marrakesh, I honestly recommend booking all your trips and excursions through him. He knows the city so well, he’s reliable, and his customer service is on another level. Our holiday wouldn’t have been the same without him and we’re so grateful we had the chance to experience Marrakesh through someone who truly cares about his guests. Definitely give izzu Tours a follow and get in touch with him before your trip.
