You will start your door to door tour with a visit of the prestigious Majorelle garden, a calming retreat near, and yet so far from the bustling city, sheltered from time by high earthen walls. You will explore its intriguing history , learn about its French-influenced architecture and connection to the iconic French designer Yves Saint Laurent and the famous painter/botanist Jacques Majorelle, amble along shady lanes, discover exotic plants of dreamy origin, walk past refreshing, burbling streams and pools filled with water lilies and lotus flowers.
After that, you will head to the Royal Kasbah in the southern part of the ancient medina of Marrakech. Built by Sultan Almohad Mansour al-Yacoub, it is the site of "El Mansouria" (the big mosque of the kasbah) and the Saadian Tombs. You will visit the Saadian tombs, discovered and restored recently in 1917. Because of the beauty of their decoration, these tombs are a major attraction for the visitors of Marrakech. It is one of the few remaining vestiges of the Saadian dynasty who reigned over the golden age of Marrakech between 1524 and 1659.
Continue to the most beautiful palaces and monuments of Marrakech, the Bahia Palace. Built in the late 19th century, the name literally means "brilliance" and was intended to be the greatest palace of its time.

Nice tour through the souks and 3 other stops. Guide was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the presentations from the shop owners but didn’t buy a lot. We went with our 2 teenage boys. They really had fun buying scarves and getting them on as a turban.

Aziz led the 16 members of our extended family on a city tour of Marrakech. He led us to all of the sites we requested and helped us maneuver around the busy narrow streets. He gave us a historical background at each of the sites we visited and answered our many questions clearly and patiently. He was very helpful with guiding my wheelchair-bound 93-year-old mother and arranged for ground transportation as needed to make our tour smoother.
