Menara garden is one of the most attractive tourist sites, especially to attract local visitors to enjoy the attractive nature and escape the summer temperature. Menara garden is a large landscaped garden with olive trees, there’s a very popular place, both for locals and foreigners in the gardens of menara. The gardens of menara offer a great attraction and a refreshing comfort as a privileged place to welcome the guests while enjoying the beautiful Moroccan atmosphere.
MAJORELLE GARDEN : is one of the most visited sites in Marrakech. it took French painter Jacques Majorelle (1886-1962) forty years of passion and dedication to create this enchanting garden in the heart of the ochre city. We amble along shady lanes, in the midst of trees and exotic plants of dreamy origin, we walk past refreshing , burbling streams and pools filled with water lilies and lotus flowers, we hear wafting through the air , laden with sugared fragrance , the rustling of leaves and the chirping of numerous birds who come here to take refuge, and the path turns unexpectedly , revealing a building with Moorish charm, with a hint of art deco , painted in astonishingly vibrant primary colors glowing with an intense blue the artist perceived in the atlas mountains. We are soothed and enchanted by the harmony of this luxuriant and vivid imagery , which issue a delicate summons to the senses , offering un a calming retreat near , and yet so far from the bustling city.

The trip is very nice, pleasant and interesting. People are very warmth and friendly. Our tour guide Ismail was brilliant. I would recommend it to anyone.
Abdellatif did a great job in accommodating our tour safely driving us to all three points included in the tour.
If you’re traveling solo or with a small group and don’t want a guide rushing you from one place to the next book a driver. Ismail was very patient and allowed me to view places at my pace and he was right there when I was ready to leave. If you like a hand-holding experience this is not it. I saw able to visit the Jardin Marjorelle and the YSL museum as well as a local Moroccan rug merchant. There was never any pressure to be herded around. Just a nice peaceful day. Thanks again Ismail!!!
Ismail was a fantastic driver, explained all about the city and sightseeing. Highly recommend. Van was clean and air conditioning
We were promised from the Viator that we will receive some water with snacks, we didn’t get anything, we went to 2 places menara and Majorelle garden the driver said that it was too late to go other places and even he was tired he drove us to Majorelle and he went to sit in a café, I don’t recommend at all.
It was unique to see the sights of Marrakech! We paid the additional 40€ to have a private guide, otherwise this is only transportation as entrance fees are not included to any of the sites. I wish they would just do an all inclusive package, as it felt like a lot of add on coats. They weren’t horrible expensive, but just a thought. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind, but the operator seems disorganized. We never received our sightseeing itinerary and we weren’t quite sure what to expect. As listed, I assumed it was 4 hrs and had booked a spa visit after, but we seemed to linger a long time at stops and didn’t see much as we ran out of time. It was also incredibly hot and I would’ve declined a walking tour of the medinas had I known, but our guide had already sent our private driver away for 3 hours. My husband had some heat swelling and painful knuckles and we asked to end the tour early. The driver was 20-25 minutes away and we had to sit in the heat at our second stop. I was also caught off guard we didn’t visit Bahia palace as advertised in this tour. Our guide took us to Dar el Bacha instead. It was pretty, but again the lack of a proper schedule or communication from the operator made this tour lacklust. I still recommend them, but just overly communicate your expectations with both the operator and the guide upon meeting so they can better manage time. We only got to see the Marjorelle Gardins, YSL Museum, and Dar el Bacha. We drove past Koutoubian Mosque but they didn’t stop for us to capture a photo. I also recommend less time at each place and more time in the AC van when the temperatures are so high (which is what I assumed). I specifically booked this over another tour to avoid the Medina walking, and unfortunately our guide wanted to take us there, which was least important to me. The driver should’ve also been closer at our disposal, that would have helped tremendously.
Our driver Abdul was lovely, chatty and very attentive. He made sure we got the most out of our morning tour. We got to see some of Marrakesh’s iconic areas which were made easy to reach by using this tour. I would recommend it as a safe and reassuring way of exploring Marrakech.
Very good! Nice driver And he take us to nice places in marrakech! I recommended this tour if You are in Marrakech
Drivers were very good, very friendly but were not happy with the prices for the admission for 2 of the sights. We were a group of 15 people we paid for the excursion plus the extra charge of £55 for the hotel pick up being far. One of the sights was 70 dirham per person and the other park was probably the same. We ended up going to only 1 sight which was free which had a olive tree garden. We feel that the 4 hour trip would cost too much. Advice it would be a good idea getting the prices for everything before hand or booking admission in advance.
Hello Mr Syed, thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate your review. You said something great about us. Which is good. Only the thing is the classification of the stars it's not same what you said. Our duty is only to arrange transportation to these sights. If they're expensive you may write on them. You paid extra because your hotel is not in our geografic pick up location. It's faraway of 20km from the city. So two vehicles did that way 4 times which is 160km and you have paid 55£ for 160km extra it's only the price for gazoline We also emailed you 2 weeks ago about the extra charge of 55£ for 15 people and you agreed with that. If you could review this I'm sure we deserve 4 or 5 star review. Thank you and it's always welcomed.
Lovely place to wander about and lovely colours but wouldn't recommend for understanding 7 years old as they don't quite have the freedom to run around or appreciation for the beauty of the gardens.
