Our tour with Noura was the highlight of our visit to Marrakech. She gave us insight to the history, people, and culture of the region which we really appreciated and enriched our visit greatly. We hope to be back soon to enjoy more of this fantastic city!
My three friends and I toured Marrakech with Noura, and it was simply fantastic. Her company customized the day based on our interests, and Noura was a wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of Morocco. We got an extra dose of Morrocan Jewish history as we requested, and I learned so much! Also, Noura arranged for us to have lunch at the home of a Moroccan family just outside the city...with a henna/kohl ceremony. We loved it!
Thank you very much .We are glad you enjoyed your experience .
Abdel was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. He is a great communicator, responds quickly and went out of his way to understand what we were looking for so that he could come up with a fantastic itinerary for us. We will definitely use him again when we return to beautiful Marrakech
Visiting the sites around the Medina in Marrakech with Noura was like walking around with a friend. Her perspective as a local and as a woman is unique as she talked about the history of the country and its people. She was a warm host and went out of her way to help us plan side trips and connect us with guides in other cities in the nick of time. We are so fortunate that we found her thru an online travel forum and she was available during our visit. We highly recommend Noura - as a private tour guide to Marrakech and help you plan trips around Morocco.
Noura was a very knowledgeable guide she knows what she’s talking about. She’s very hospitable and very warm, personality and friendly, that made the whole trip to many places enjoyable. Anyway, it was a pleasure to meet her and I wish all the best to her.
An unforgettable experience with Noura El Kacimi! We were lucky to explore Marrakech and its treasures with Noura, an exceptional guide. Thanks to her, we immersed ourselves in the authenticity of Moroccan craftsmanship, wandered through the hidden corners of the medina, and learned the secrets of Moroccan cuisine. Her knowledge, passion, and warm smile made us feel like locals rather than mere visitors. Every moment spent with her was enriching and magical. If you’re looking for an authentic experience in Marrakech, Noura is the guide you need. A thousand thanks for this unique journey!
Noura, our guide gave a fascinating tour of Marrakesh. She is so well informed and gave us a great insight to the history, culture and daily life of those living in the city. Highly recommended
Wonderful informative tour. The visit to the Bahia Palace was a highlight. It was a great opportunity to ask questions about the culture and history of Marrakech. Highly recommended 👌
I visited with 4 girlfriends so it was amazing to have a girl tour guide. Noura was amazing. She was very flexible and just wanted us to have a great time. It was great to do this on day 1 of our trip so we could find our feet. She gave us recommendations for how to deal with the markets and helped us find other activities. 100% recommend this.
Thank you so much for guiding us through the fantastic myriad of culture and history in this amazing city! I highly recommend this guided tour.
