Marrakech Day Trip From Agadir

Great tour, great guide. We received many information and tips. As well tre excursion was well structured and organised.

We had a very good experience overall, as everything was professionally organized. The drive from Agadir to Morocco took about 3 hours and 30 minutes, as we took a 15-minute break at the rest area. On-site, we had a guided tour of about 1 hour longer and then a group lunch after which the group separated for individual activities. Abdullah, our tour guide, was very nice, but not always easy to understand in English. Due to the heat of three 36°C days, it was quite exhausting to get to know the city on foot. That is now done, and another exciting activity is checked off.

We were collected from our hotel at 8am and dropped back at 20:30ish on a large bus. Tour was okay but definitely had better tour guides. You can barely hear him especially when actually touring around the markets. Also not that engaging. A lot of time (~45mins) was spent in a pharmacy where the pharmacist talked through their products like spices, argan oils, etc. definitely a huge sales pitch. Also this trip has the obvious tourist strings where the tour guide brings you to businesses that they have partnered with. Including the restaurant- they say it has a rooftop view but the prices were aimed at tourists. Also the view at the rooftop is nothing spectacular. My bf and I skipped this restaurant and just went to a different one and met up with the group at 16:45 which was scheduled time to leave. Also we noted that because they had a previous agreement with the restaurant, they skipped the part of the markets where you walk past other restaurants so keep that in mind. Bf and I personally had lunch at La Cantine des Galles at the market and we recommend it (you can also look up the menu beforehand).

The tour itself was a good experience, largely because our guide was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining the history and culture of Morocco. He was a good man and clearly passionate about his work, though be prepared for a lot of travel time between locations. ​I do want to share a word of caution regarding the "pharmacy" stop in the souk. Our tour guide led us there and assured us it was the authentic place to buy local goods. We were introduced to a man in a white coat who even performed a quality test in front of us that looked completely legit at the time, I assumed he was using real saffron for the demo. However, after returning home, I realized the product I was sold was fake. While it colors the water yellow, the threads turn to mush within 10 seconds. I am still quite frustrated thinking about it, though I’m thankful I checked the quality at home before gifting it to my friends. I don't know if our tour guide is even aware that the products sold there aren't authentic, but I’d recommend being very careful. ​The logistics of the day were also a bit difficult, particularly regarding the restaurant the guide chose for our group. It was a bit expensive and involved a very long wait—it took about 45 minutes for our food to arrive, meaning we had to rush and finish our meal in just 12 minutes to have any time to explore the souks. Overall, it was a great guide and interesting history, but I’d suggest being cautious with the shopping and prepared for some long waits at the group stops.

Amazing day! Great tour guide spoke perfect English and made sure we were taken care of. Definitely one to do if your not staying in Marrakech but want to see the markets and souk

Akram was a brilliant guide but Marrakech was a bit full on and not for the faint hearted 😀

Easy to book, transfer from/to hotel, profesional guide. We get a lot information about Morrocco, Marakesh, history and local culture. Recomended 100%.

Feel embarrassed that I cannot remember our guide and drivers names, very long day, great job from driver as 500+kilometers, so not an easy drive. Our guide was very knowledgable and spoke several languages, so very accommodating, very helpful to us at drop off.

Good guide, big bus. Marrakech was not what we expected. Beautiful scenery on the busride. Time ran out on us. Trip includes spice and argon oli presentation if you are with guide.

We can just say this trio was AMAZING and one of the highlights of our holiday. The sights, sounds, smells, melle is surreal. Like being in an Indiana Jones film set! (A big thank you to Akram and our driver as they were amazing with the little window incident)
