Very good, great guide. Abdullah was very good. Alles okay. Wetter okay. Souk difficult but beautiful. Djerba el Fna worth seeing, lots of jugglers and hitches. Watch it.
Awful. The group is too big with different languages. The guide drags you to all different places (that you can’t even enter!) and basically forced us to have lunch at a restaurant. Very little time to actually go to the souk. The transport to get to our bus took forever and we kept having to change mini buses. The drivers and staff were rude. I would personally pay a taxi to take me and the kids to Marrakech and the souk and avoid this!!! Not worth it and I regretted it.
Fabulous guide. A truly wonderful day experiencing the smells and delights of Marrakesh. Driver handled the crazy busy roads with such ease and even controlled the bus when the tyre blew on the way back. The quickest tyre change ever, would give F1 a run for their money!
Moast of time was spending in bus no air con and restoran 30 minutes in market 30 minutes in park and all the rest free time and restoran
It's a long day 3 hours travel each way. Market very confined not good if you don't like tight spaces. 7am pick up time but was 7.43 when I was finally picked up was ready to give up by that time
Hello, I don't understand why you rated your experience poorly. 1. As for the long journey, you should know this because it's mentioned in the explanation, so you know it before booking. 2. Regarding the pickup, yes, it's mentioned that pickup starts at 7:00 a.m., but I sent you a WhatsApp message the day before the excursion stating that your hotel is among the last hotels for pickup and that we'll be arriving after 7:30 a.m., and you confirmed the change of departure time, so you have no right to complain about the departure time because you were aware of the time change a day in advance.
The trip was a bit long from Agadir around 7-8hours in total. The sightseeing is just 3-4 hours including lunch stop. Bahia palace has entrance fee and when we looked in google what’s inside we thought it’s not worth it. Be prepared to bargain in the market because they make the price twice as it supposedly. Overall, we had a great time though we got body pain for sitting in the bus for long time.
Our driver did not know that we were supposed to have a guide and the driver ended up driving around for 1hr in marrakech “looking for” our guide. We eventually gave up and explored marrakech on our own. The tour company didn’t refund us anything for this and told us “everything went as supposed to”. We strongly advise against booking with this company.
On the day of the trip, as requested, I was at the hotel entrance, waiting for the guide. I believe there was a booking error, or a registration error, as, for some reason, they claimed to have forgotten me. However, for some reason, while they claimed to return to my hotel to pick me up, they got in touch with another guide, also with a planned trip to Marrakech, and he stated that the trip would be with him - and, at a moment previous, we asked if it was and he said it was another agency. We successfully ignored what happened and went traveling. The trip was incredible, and during it, the guide made a point of giving us a historical context, warnings and precautions to take. He welcomed us very well and explained everything about the city and the points we visited. However, he was a little self-centered and rude in certain situations. He is not very open-minded and becomes a little unnecessary with some comments. Otherwise everything went well and the trip was amazing. The city of Marrakech is slightly dangerous, but with a guide, it becomes calmer, because the traders tend not to bother us as much.
Great day out, just a shame that some people were late, so the pickup was over an hour late. Very good guide, great to see the culture close up.
Pick up was 7.30am not 7, then had to change bus, after that was a good trip, friendly well informed guide. Marrakech is an amazing place. Good value
