Excellent city tour in Marrakech! Communication in advance was excellent — the agency Moments in Morocco informed us via WhatsApp with all important details, and we received the guide’s personal contact information the day before. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the country, culture, and local people, with great English. He brought us closer to local traditions and daily life, was very flexible, and picked us up directly at our riad. A perfectly organized personal tour which we‘d highly recommend!
An interesting discovery, rich culture and very welcoming locals just like the vendors, the Medina Place Jamaa Lafna a life apart from noise, music, souk birn decorated the roof lets through the light pretty crafts and there is something for all budgets. In Gueliz there are also more chic bazaars and zous shops like modern, crafts, brand, Menara Mall with too expensive caftans, square or floor rather very modern children's games, in Gueliz there is the new Gueliz Place Plaza and the old Gueliz behind where all the prices chic restaurants and small like shops souks mix.
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis très détaillé. Nous sommes ravis que la visite ait offert une découverte riche et authentique de Marrakech, de ses habitants accueillants et de ses souks colorés. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une nouvelle expérience magique au cœur de la ville. Hamza & the Moments in Morocco Team
