We loved the tour. We booked this for the very start of our trip and are glad that we did. Rachid G showed us and another couple round the markets, and we had a few key stops - our favourite was the herbalist and Wadid was our lovely host who talked us through all the herbs, spices, oils and medicines. Really helpful to understand the dos and don’ts of the medina before tackling haggling! Thanks Rachid, we had a great time.

The worst excursion of my life! A guide who knew nothing… barely spoke and didn’t share anything at all!! He only took me to the shops to buy, probably to earn a commission!! A total scam!!

We really enjoyed our tour and got to see a lot of different areas of the Souks with history and tradition thrown in. We definitely went to areas we wouldn’t have done on our own. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed. He was about 30mins late but he did message to let us know and the tour time was just the same.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed exploring the different areas of the souks and discovering parts of Marrakech that you might not have found on your own.

This is a shopping tour of the souks versus a history of the different souks. You are taken off the beaten track, which was kind of nice. Unfortunately many of the shops were closed due to the Eid holiday.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased that you enjoyed discovering some of the less-traveled areas of the souks and appreciated seeing parts of Marrakech that many visitors might otherwise miss. We also understand your disappointment that several shops were closed during the Eid holiday, which can affect the overall experience and atmosphere in the Medina. We appreciate your comments and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Best regards. Marrakech Guided Experience. Mohamed
Mi was a very attentive and knowledgeable guide. He gave us lots of information and happily recommended local hamams when we asked.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that Mi made your Marrakech experience informative and enjoyable. We’re very happy that he was able to share useful information and recommend local hammams to help you make the most of your stay. Best regards. Marrakech Guided Experience. Mohamed
