Guide was great. Was nice to have someone to help navigate the crazy streets. The stops were well organized and worth the visit.
Saïd explained the history of Marrakech and the monuments visited very well. He is very kind and attentive.
A grearl experience from start to finish. The group was very small which made the tour feel personal and relaxed. We received plenty of detailed and fascinating explanations throughout, and it was a real treat to explore the palaces and Saadian Tombs while learning about the history of Marrakech. Fatah was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Marrakech’s history and heritage.
Very knowledgeable guide and also very friendly. Punctual and clear pick up point. We followed the planned itinerary and everything was just smooth and pleasant. I recommend this tour.
Wonderful Medina Walking Tour of the major sites including spice cooperative and Carpet Warehouse. Lahcen provides local and historical stories to make you feel the heart of Morocco.
All well arranged. We had taken the tour at 10:00. Appointment location was clear. From the hotel we took a taxi and after 10 min we were there. We had the English-speaking guide Fateh. He has 'history background' and knew a lot about everything. Besides that he was also helpful and nice and gave us further tips. All credit to him. He arranged the admission tickets. So you didn't have to wait in line. At the Tombs were 2 rows. One row went fast. The other row was much longer because the tomb is more impressive. In consultation it was decided for the longer row. This was a bit of a wait but we were in no hurry. It was worth it. If you have difficulty walking, you should choose the split options.
Amazing experience ! Guide Fettah was the BEST ever . Respectable , very knowledgeable, patient , able to answer any question and explain any topic related to the tour and above .
