Our guide Muha was very knowledgeable and thorough and we learned a lot about Marrakesh. His English is excellent too!
Alternative Morocco is the company to work with if visiting Morocco. Lahcen is accessible and incredible to work with. When he found it difficult to get ahold of our trip coordinator while we were in Marrakech, he used his problem-solving skills and bought our coordinator a sim card so she could more easily navigate the city. We traveled to Morocco with a group of 20 fellow university students. Our group coordinator requested curated experiences exploring themes of entrepreneurship and post-colonial life in Marrakech. There were two wonderful activities that Alternative Morocco organized for us based on these requests. The first was a walking tour of some of Marrakech’s most important spots to visit - the Jemaa Al-Fna market and the Madrassa of Marrakech. Ismail, our amazing local tour guide, lead the tour beautifully in a way that captured the history behind certain market traditions and the influences behind them. The descriptions were elaborate and the tour itself was interactive as we spoke with locals about their stories as well as entrepreneurship in Morocco. Would recommend these activities and Alternative Morocco for your next trip to the country.
