Ya ya was just simply amazing and knew so many local people. My daughter and I really enjoyed the secret little spots in the shopping district and he leveraged his personal relationships so we can even get better deals. I highly recommend this guide!
We had a great tour with La La in the souk. We were a group of four with teenagers . He made it easy and fun to see and shop for special items. We learned a lot from him about the people and artisans. And how to enjoy being in such a busy place. He knew many special places in the souk. He was so much fun.
Yahya was incredibly kind, patient, and friendly. He showed us some amazing places, and we’re so thankful we chose this tour and had the chance to experience the beautiful Medina.
Yaya is an excellent guide with big knowledge of the medina and the area around. With lot’s of humor and history, the three hour trip was well worth all the steps.
Yaya was an amazing guide, really knowledgeable and super fun too! Created a fantastic atmosphere, so good that we booked a second tour for the next day!!
Fun experience, recommend if you are visiting Marrakech. Our guide, Yaya, was excellent; cover a lot of ground in a 3-4 hour span. We chose to visit the Old Town which included rug shopping, spice sampling, visits to several craftspeople, tours through Ben Youssef Madrasa and concluding at Le Jardin Secret. Great price for the tour. Option to take a private tour - which allowed us to get great recommendations for local activities beyond our immediate destinations for later in our trip.
Our guide yaya was very helpful in letting us learn the history of the souks and brought us to beautiful places to show us the culture of the city which we enjoyed gratefully!
Yaya was an excellent tour guide. He talked about the local economy and local businesses We shop for rugs, herbs, spices, and various souvenirs He went out of his way to meet out every expectation I would definitely reach out to him again Marrakesh and Casablanca was a once in a lifetime experience Thank you
LOVED our time with Yahya. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He knows the souks very well and will take you to some of the very best shops for whatever you are looking for. His stories are great, and he's personable. He even took us to a few stops that were not on our planned itinerary! Book him. You won't regret it.
What an experience!!! Yahya was amazing! Great history, great information, great person…i definitely got my steps in!!!
