What a disappointment. The guide, whilst nice enough, had very poor English and told us very little. At one point we walked for ten minutes without a speaking. No interest in us and gave us no historical information or any background information. Part of the trip was to a souk were we walked around five shops where we were given the hard sell by his friends. We spent most of the time looking enviously at other guides and trying to listen to their information. So disappointing and overpriced….
We had a great day with Amid. He met us at our Riad and walked us around the Medina. We saw many of the sites and learned a lot of the history of the city as well as Morocco in general. He took us right to the front of the line at the sites that required tickets and we never had to wait. He was kind and very knowledgeable.
Great and informative tour guide spoke great English . Would of hoped to see more of the medina then just the shops and the palace. It was a good tour but for €65 very overpriced for 2 hours. Entrance to the palace also not included
Great experience, and a very good guide. One of our best walking tours ever! The right balance of history, souks, and culture.
Incredible experience and tour. Thanks to our guide Amid we were able to glimpse into parts hidden from crowds. His insightful guidance made this unforgettable day. Thank you!
If you only do one tour while in Marrakech, do this one !!!! We were picked up from our hotel on time in the morning by taxi, and taken to Old Town where we met Rashid and began our walking tour of Marakech. Rashid has great English, and confirmed he spoke fluent Spanish and French. The next 4 plus hours were filled with sights sounds and smells of Marakech, from the Baha Palace, to the Souk and surrounding areas. Rashid knowledge was outstanding, he took us to places we would never of seen as a tourist, I won't spoil it for you. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Massive Thanks to Rashid, we have lasting fantastic memories to add to our Honeymoon!!!!!
