Great overview of Marrakech history and culture

My guide Hamid was great. He customized the tour to meet my needs. He provided a lot of information on the history of Marrakech. I was able to skip past the long lines at Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs (guides get expedited entry) and he took me through many interesting streets in the medina with no pressure to shop. However, if you want to shop, he will help you.

Worth it!!

Hamid was exceptional guide!! Very kind and knowledgeable of history. He also took time to answer questions. He knows his surrounding and historical background of each area visited. I took a private tour with him and which he allowed me to explore everything at my own pace.

Great private tour with Hamid

Hassle free logistics for arranging the tour with Hassan and excellent walking tour with Hamid who was super knowledgeable, not imposing, very easy to understand and pleasant to deal with.

Great and informative way to explore the city!

Our guide was wonderful, knowledgeable, timely, and although he introduced us to a few stores/sellers, he was never pushy. We learned so much from our guide and would use him again.

Brilliant city tour

The guide came to pick us up very punctually at the hotel and made with us an awesome 4 hour guided tour of the city in German. He is very well typed to our wishes and questions and has told interesting details and facts about the city, the people and culture. We felt extremely well looked after with him and can recommend the leadership to everyone!

Marrakech without a guide, just isn’t the same!

I’ve been to Marrakech a few times, but this time I was with my 24 week pregnant fiancée, so I decided to arrange for a Private Guide to show us around. Ismail (our guide) was amazing. He was so accommodating We walked around the old medina and souks, and visited some amazing historical places, but it was his knowledge of the city that was amazing. If you visit Marrakech, you MUST have a guide.
