It was a good experience. Everything started very well, Ismail very friendly and attentive. However, I think he got tired at the end and we practically saw the school on our own. He took us with local sellers, I recommend NOT to buy and come back later or go prepared with more than 100 euros since everything is expensive for example in the wool market. Not by going with a guide it will be cheaper. I also recommend being very careful, especially if you go in a group or as a couple since motorcycles, bicycles and cars have no respect for pedestrians since they pass through the market alleys. PD: Take around 40 Euros per person for the tickets. A lot of people and caos but it’s part of the experience. The duration of the tour is the one announced by 3 to 4 hors
Ishamel was a very good host. Very informative and knowledgable. Great for anyone new to Marrakesh, he can show you around and give you tips on where to go and what to see.
We were 16 minutes late but there visit was really not pleasant. It was necessary to walk very fast and follow the guide like sheep without real pleasure. He did the bare minimum.
Great tour and informative guide who knew his stuff and was happy to explain the history behind many of the things we saw and experienced. Ismail was courteous and fri madly and made us feel very at ease whilst navigating the soil and the historical sites. Well worth the money and time if you are new to Marrakesh.
The private tour hosted by Ismail Dabbab was a quintessential experience. Our tour guide was Ismail and his charisma was as bright as the épices in the souks we visited. Ismail’s made the history of Marrakech come alive in an interesting and fun way. His desire to deliver a top notch experience was evident as our 3 hour tour turned into a 5 hour adventure! We visited the Herbalism and received an in depth explanation of Argan Oil, epices, teas and more. We also saw the oldest women only Hammam. Finally Ismail took us to a number of shops that had fantastic wares and he assisted in negotiating the best prices. Overall we had a fantastic day and would recommend Ismail to anyone looking for a private tour of Marrakech.
We visited the important and we were satisfied with the performance of our guide. We wish we had had more time but it was impossible. Thank you
