Think there are better ones

We booked a guided tour but we had a driver who drove us to 3llocations told us to buy tickets while he slept in the car. However they were all good attractions and he was very pleasant .

Good car tour for Marrakech

It is a car tour without guide. And that’s what we booked. The driver is kind and friendly and presents information about the attractions as we went to different sites. The car is comfortable and modern. We enjoyed our experience with the tour and will highly recommend it to anyone who wants an affordable car tour in Marrakech .

The guide was very friendly and knows a lot about the places. We went to Bahia Palace et jardin secret as there was no tickets left for the majorelle website.

Operator response

Bonjour Elia, Merci d’avoir partagé votre retour. Nous sommes toutefois surpris par votre commentaire, car votre réservation a été annulée à votre demande avant le départ de la visite. Lors de nos échanges, nous vous avons expliqué que le tour comprenait le transport privé et l’accompagnement du chauffeur, mais que les billets d’entrée aux monuments et jardins (comme le Jardin Majorelle) ne sont pas inclus dans le prix indiqué — ceci est clairement mentionné dans la description de l’activité. Nous regrettons que cela ait prêté à confusion et que vous n’ayez finalement pas souhaité maintenir votre visite. Notre priorité est toujours la transparence et la satisfaction de nos voyageurs, et nous restons à votre disposition pour toute précision ou pour organiser une expérience adaptée à vos attentes lors d’un prochain séjour à Marrakech. Cordialement, L’équipe Easy Travel Marrakech

The must-sees when in Marrakech

If you’ve never visited Marrakech and have limited time, we can really recommend this tour. Despite having just booked a „driiver“ Abdel provided many insights and organized our tour perfectly. We never had to wait long to get to the attractions and he dropped us off and picked us up just a few steps away. We perfectly felt safe and could trust on his navigation skills throughout the medina. We did search for other tours prior to booking this one, but at the end we believe this one was exactly what we were looking for. It covered all the basics without the necessity of visiting things we aren’t comfortable with.

Operator response

Hello, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Abdel made your Marrakech City Highlights tour both smooth and insightful, and that you felt safe and comfortable throughout your visit. It’s wonderful to know the tour met your expectations and provided just the right balance of must-see sights without any pressure. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again for more discoveries in Marrakech. Best regards, The Easy Travel Marrakech Team

Amazing tour of Marrachech, Morocco!

This was a wonderful way to see Marakech, Morocco. My driver/guide Mohammad was professional and friendly. He communicated using Whatsapp and email to confirm pick up time and pick up location to start the day of touring. He was friendly and informative with a nice explanation and brief overview of the sites to be visited. This tour included transport from the hotel to the the Majorelle Gardens, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and the main square with the souks which are the outdoor markets in the surrounding streets for shopping. Each site upon entry was easy to self guide and navigate to explore and enjoy and take pictures. This was perfect for me as I was able to walk through at my own pace and as I read quite a bit about the sites prior to visiting, it wasn't necessary to have a guide walk me through and explain the history. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Morocco. I was traveling solo and felt safe and had no worries about having to navigate finding my way to each site. Mohammad let me know what time to meet in between each stop to head to the next site and made sure I knew where he would be to pick me up. After the tour was complete he returned me to my hotel and after discussing my plans ending my trip in Morocco was nice enough to to organize a transfer to the airport for my departure the next day. Thank you for a great experience and showing me your beautiful country.
