Amazing experience, amazing guide! He showed us some amazing places
Great experience to repeat Ismail a guide 5***** I highly recommend Many thanks Ismail Brito Elisabete
Ismael was kind patient knowledgeable and patient. Went to some really beautiful and cool sights. Off the beaten track. Thank you 🙏🏽
Tour was very interesting. Our guide Ishmael was a smashing fellow, with a great knowledge of the souks. My only criticism is that we moved through the souks at a pace. As with all these tours, I would imagine it is somewhat focused on shopping at specific outlets.
Ismail is a native of Marrakech and seemed to know everyone in the Souks. He is a super nice guy and he helped me get great prices on what I bought, but was my ally when I wanted to not negotiate more. He also was like my private guide, and let me say what I wanted to see or skip. He is a great cultural and history teacher, and lined up very interesting places to go. I can't say enough good things about this experience--and I hate to shop normally. I liked his tour so much I'm taking another Viator tour tomorrow! Mohamed has a lot to live up to!

He speaks very well both in French, English and Spanish. As both women we felt very comfortable in his presence. He is very calm and patient while we roamed around in the stores. He showed both touristic and more local places, as well as giving us lots of extra information and answering our questions (he was knowledgeable which isn't the case for all guides). We really appreciated the fact he gave us pastries as a gift and made us taste some local food. Even after the tour he gave us lots of advice when we asked for recommandations. Very recommended

Ismail taught us to move around the souk, which is a world. We could see the different parts, the oils, the crafts, the leather... and took us to places where we could buy the souvenirs. Then we came back alone for another few days, but to find you and know where to move, it was great. He was also punctual, friendly and explains everything you need to know or ask. We ended up very happy.
