    An Incredible Experience with Ouidad

    "Ouidad is the best guide I have ever had. She is warm, kind, knowledgeable, fun, and patient. We learned so much from her, and she was so generous with her time and knowledge throughout the day. At one point, I was feeling quite pressured by people in a rug shop, and Ouidad handled the situation so calmly and professionally. She made me feel completely looked after and safe. I feel very lucky that we had her as our guide, and I will be recommending her to everyone I know who is visiting Marrakech and wants to do a tour. She is truly incredible."

    Family guided tour

    "We travelled with a 7 and 9 year old and wanted a guided tour that would show us things we would not have known or seen on our own. Redouan was friendly, knowledgeable and explained everything as we went, telling us about the history of the city and important people and why things were built as they were. We explored different areas, visited a place museum and then the different areas of the medina. His inside knowledge allowed us to understand what and how things were made and we visited different shops that showed the various crafts. All without pressure to buy things, just explanations of what was going on. We visited areas we would not have found or had the confidence to visit with young children without Redouan showing us. The children really enjoyed the tour and we would recommend to anyone visiting with children. Redouan also picked the routes to have the most shade and keep cool. Thank you Redouan for a really interesting and informative morning which then gave us confidence to see more of the city on our own later."

    Knowledgable and Fun!

    "We'd seen some of the typical sites on our tour the previous day, so Hassan created a much more eclectic visit than typical. This was a day of stories, of places where we saw the community ties the locals have with one another. Hassan was friendly, knowledgeable and informative as he explained everything as we went, telling us about the history of the city and important people and why things were built as they were. He was enthusiastic and passionate about the history and architecture of Marrakesh, patiently answering our questions. "

    Informative and friendly

    "Redouan was just wonderful. He was very happy to meet us at our Riad as it was our first day in the city so we wouldn’t get lost. He was extremely knowledgeable and we were able to learn so much about the culture and history of Marrakech and Morocco. We have a second tour booked with him for our return and are very much looking forward to the experience!"

    Adil is a hidden gem

    "We had the best time with Adil on the Hidden Gems tour. We did a private 3hr tour (there were 3 of us) seeing the following sites: Koutoubia Minatet, Mellah Square, visiting local market, El Bahia museum and finishing off at Jemaa El Fnaa Square. He was enthusiastic and passionate about the history and architecture of Marrakesh, patiently answering our questions."

    Adopted willingly for the day

    "We hand a great time on this tour with Ouidad. Her knowledge about all the places we visited was 1st class. She was personable, whitty and funny and had some great stories. Her English was excellent (though she claims otherwise). We were adopted willingly on the day and we followed our new mum through the various sites, the Medina and the souks with ease. It’s almost like the chaos of Marrakesh disappeared around us. The hidden gems really were hidden gems that we would never have found. Would recommend this tour as a great way to get your bearings in Marrakesh. We learned a lot during the tour and had some highly memorable experiences."

    City Walk in Marrakesh

    "We took a 3-hour walking tour of the city with Mohamed in late May 2026. Mohamed is the perfect guide, with extensive knowledge of Morocco and Marrakesh, and he was happy to answer all of our many questions. Mohamed had arranged a really wonderful tour of the Medina, and we visited the most interesting sites. Mohamed also gave us excellent advice on what we could explore on our own in the city over the next few days. Mohamed speaks perfect English. Thank you for a truly wonderful tour, Mohamed."
