I would highly recommend Rachid, what a wonderful way to experience Marrakech and its culture. Rachid was so knowledgeable and warm and friendly. It was the best money spent. What a treat to have Rachid guide us through the souks and locations we wanted to experience as well as recommending some that were not on our list and so worth it. Amazing man, who speaks 6 languages too! and having him guide will absolutely make your trip better than you t would have been already. Thank you Rachid!
thank you so much Karen it was a pleasure meeting you guys
From the minute you meet Rachid, who came to our Riad, you know you are in the company of a knowledgable historian and an absolute gentleman. A medina native, he brought us on a journey through history and time and shared the spirit of the people and culture of Marrakesh. He is a wonderful ambassador for Morocco and I’m so glad we started our holiday with this tour, While morning was culture and history, after lunch in a great restaurant we then spent the afternoon traversing the maze of the medina, through areas we would never have found ourselves, the leather district, the metal district, the markets where locals shops, to 3rd generation herbalist and then onto the main thoroughfares. He taught our young adult kids the art of the respectful haggle. He brought us to some of his favourite shops where he knows the quality of goods are excellent. Let him lead you, he brought us to the best places. It was our first time in Morocco and after a day with Rachid, we were well set up to explore Marrakesh, get comfortably lost in the medina and have fun haggling and connecting with so many kind and fun vendors. Thank you Rachid, it was wonderful to meet you and see Marrakesh though your eyes.
Rachid was the best tour guide you wish for. Very entertaining and he knows so much about the secret places of Marrakech and we enjoyed the colors, food and history. Really 5 stars ⭐️
thank you so much , it was really a pleasure meeting you
My friend and I toured with Rachid Gouaghdime and had such an amazing day! He is so kind and took the best care of us. Everywhere we went, people were so pleased to see him and thus treated us with the same hospitality and friendliness. As young women, we felt so safe with him; particularly when he lectured men heckling us and bartered prices at the souks on our behalf. His enthusiasm for Morocco and its people is infectious and by the first hour, my friend and I were already declaring Marrakech our favorite destination on our trip. The day was full of laughs and was also very informative. I highly recommend!!
Rachid is the very best! Any thing we wanted was arranged with the highest degree of care. We were in very good hands. Highly recommend.
Thanks a lot I appreciate it
The tour of the major monuments was well organised. The Berber pharmacy was interesting. Rashid spoke excellent English and responded in detail to our many questions about Moroccan history, culture and politics.
Thank you so much for your recommendation
Superb accompaniment throughout my short visit to Marrakech! Excellent supervision with various explanations during the Discovery of the historic sites of the Medina!!
Merci beaucoup pour vôtre confiance
Absolutely fantastic. Rachid our tour guide made us feel so comfortable and explained everything in the most incredible way. Best tour we could have hoped for ! Everywhere he took us was amazing and he took us to places only locals would know about too - such as in the Souks he knew the best places to get the best deals. We were so lucky to have him and this tour is worth every penny - 10000/10
Thanks a lot for those words
Very nice and thorough explanations. The guide personalized the tour per our requests. Reliable combination with Taxi service made the tour very easy.
Thank you so much for your trust
Full day sightseeing tour including the Garden, the Mosque, the Madina. The second day tour was the Palace and back to the madina. Our knowledgeable tour guide Rachid was extremely helpful. His knowledge of the city and best restaurants was amazing. Rachid was very kind, patient, accommodating and protective of us in many situations. He regularly intervene to avoid us being overcharged by sellers. He and the drivers work very well together order to accommodate us.
Thank you so much for your good recommendation
