A great way to start your holiday

We were lucky enough to have a 'personal' tour with Abdel which he tailored to our wishes. He's very knowledgeable, personable and pleasant and took the time to explain everything to us during the tour as well as answering any questions we may have had. Don't hesitate to book with him - a great way to start your holiday in Marrakech!

Amazing tour of the Medina and historical sites.

Abdel was excellent. He showed us around the markets and explained to us the history of the old Mosque Madrasa Ben Youssef. We then visited the secret garden as well and it was a great place to end the tour. Hope to meet Abdel again whenever I come back to Marrakech, he was not only a great tour guide, but very friendly and warm.

Best Walking Tour of the Souks in Marrakech

This was a top notch walking tour of the Souks in Marrakech, about 3 1/2 hours duration with a slow pace and plenty of explanation of the Souks as well as Islamic history and culture. Very informative and our guide Saleem was the best. Learned a lot of history as well as current Moroccan culture. I would recommend 110%.

Amazing walking tour with friends!

Abdul was lovely and friendly, he asked what we wanted from the tour and we told him. He did exactly that, it was a fab walking tour. There was 9 of us (all girls) but he knew exactly what we wanted, even before we fully told him. I would highly recommend him, he is extremely knowledgeable and fun with it.

Amazing tour guide - so worthwhile

Abdel was fantastic from start to finish. We got very lucky and we were the only people on the tour so essentially had a private guide. He tailored the trip to our wants and we were able to visit the Ben Youssef school and Secret Gardens as well as taking a detailed look around the souks. We particularly enjoyed the blacksmith portion. It made a HUGE difference walking with Abdel as we were not approached or harassed by any merchants during that time. Abdel left us with an amazing restaurant recommendation for Tiznit and specifically for a dish known as Tangia. Well we tried the restaurant that evening and were thoroughly impressed. Abdel is very approachable and knowledgeable and we are so pleased we got to spend a few hours in his company.
