Were very pleased with the tour. Our guide Charif was fluent in German (which we hadn't actually booked at all), as he lived in Germany for many years. He gave us very interesting information about the country and of course about Marrakech. So we spent a relaxing nice afternoon in the medina and say thank you very much, Charif.
We booked a private tour which was worth it's weight in gold as we could tailor how long we spent at each location. Our guide Ali was friendly, knowledgeable and took candid photos throughout which he sent us the day after the trip. He did this for free off his own back. He was so helpful. When you're in the souks tell him what you're interested in and he'll take you to the best authentic places. Can't recommend Ali and this tour enough. Fabulous!!!
A wonderful tour to do. I would highly recommend to anyone coming to Marrakech. Most importantly it’s a great way to have someone assist you with purchasing in the souks.
