I have traveled around...

I have traveled around the world, and I can honestly say this was one of the best tours I have taken. From the moment we met, our guide was incredibly kind, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making the experience special for our family. What stood out most was how personalized everything felt. Rather than a generic tour, it was tailored to our interests, pace, and needs. Traveling with a toddler can be challenging, but our guide was fantastic with our daughter. The local knowledge was exceptional. We learned so much about Marrakech, its history, culture, and traditions. We were also given outstanding recommendations on where to shop for authentic, high-quality Moroccan goods, which helped us avoid tourist traps and find truly special items. The combination of professionalism, warmth, flexibility, and deep knowledge made this an unforgettable experience. I genuinely could not have asked for anything more and would recommend this tour without hesitation to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Great guide for historic sites and fun shopping.

Our guide, Ashraf, was fantastic. We saw a lot and learned a lot. Getting the tickets to the Majorelle gardens was difficult and stressful. That was part of the tour but we had to figure it out. Ugh.

Operator response

Dear Julia, Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about Ashraf. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found him to be a fantastic guide. Regarding the Majorelle Garden tickets, we understand that securing tickets can sometimes be challenging. As mentioned in our pre-tour communications, tickets for the Majorelle Garden are not included in the tour price and must be reserved online in advance due to the high demand and limited availability. Our team provides all guests with detailed instructions and recommendations regarding ticket reservations prior to the tour. Unfortunately, tickets can become difficult to obtain when reservations are made close to the visit date. We appreciate your comments and are pleased that, despite this inconvenience, you were able to enjoy the tour and discover Marrakech with Ashraf. Kind regards, Asmaa Idar ​ MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.
