Itinerary
Your private Marrakech walking tour begins with meeting your guide in front of Koutoubia Mosque. Onwards, you’ll head to the Saadian Tombs, sealed for centuries until their rediscovery in 1917. Marvel at the ornate carvings in a Hispano-Moorish style that frame the crypts of the 16-century royal family. Afterwards, head to the equally ornate Bahia Palace, a 19th-century royal dwelling intended to be the most splendid palace of its time. Gaze at the elaborately-painted ceilings, beautifully-manicured gardens replete with fruit trees, and elaborate stucco patterns adorning almost every surface of the building. To cap the tour off, you’ll wander through the buzzing souks, with their wide array of local artisans and craftspeople, your guide showing you insider tips about the best stalls. The tour ends at the Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where hundreds of locals meet every day to enjoy the storytellers, musicians, snake charmers, acrobats, jugglers, and performers of each and every sort.

The Guide told long and hard about the old and destroyed mosque and the current one that now stands next to it. For a visit to Marrakesh this is a must. But I didn't think it was the most impressive thing I've seen there. Just walk around and take some pictures.
My host Abdullah took me on a custom tour of the souks, an elegant tea shop 112 and Ben Youssef school. It was my first visit into the Old city and I felt safe and very happy to have him as my guide. He was very helpful, kind and deeply knowledgeable. Thankyou!
A great experience, the Civitatis Guide very friendly and understood in the subject. On the visit to the herbalist, the very happy accounts, when we arrived at the Riyadh and calculated the prices of the products purchased both my friend and I have come to the conclusion that we had been charged 10 € overpriced each... in short it was a holiday and we have concentrated on the positive things but we know where not to return. We have gone to the desert with camel ride at sunset, dinner and show, absolutely wonderful, the Guide Jose of the desert tours, we took care and pampered a lot, it has been wonderful. And finally to emphasize the attention and careful pampering that we have received from the owner of the Riad Flowers, her fascinating breakfasts and the staff of the restaurants of the medina and the market of Jamaa el Fna Square, have been unforgettable days, I am sure we will return.
Magnificent minaret dominating the city, a must-visit, it serves as a point of reference when I am lost. Hervé BLUMEL.
Our van broke down but we were rescued, 20 people turned back to the cruise ship but 4 of us continued with the guide and had a lovely private tour.
good historical tour, awesome shots, very kind guide, Hope we'll comeback and book a tour with you. All in all, it was amazing
What a beautiful mosque, with a lovely green garden trees where oranges hang. When the time came for prayer I wanted to purify udu for prayer. Only you could do that outside where the men also do anger. And normally it is women apart and men apart and unfortunately could not perform my prayer in the Mosque.
Mosque located in center of marraket. Very close to the Medina.very well preserved and clean. Very visited place.Around there is a place for sale and in the square at night you usually see many Moroccan people singing and dancing.
