Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our group had such a wonderful time exploring the souks with Mohamed. Not only one of the highlights of our trip to Marrakech, but one of the highlights of our entire trip to Morocco! Mo was informative, kind, and answered our many, many questions about the city and how to make the most of our time there. When the tour was over, we went to one of Mo’s recommended restaurants and had one of our favorite meals of the trip, too! There is so much to see and learn about in this fantastic city. The tour is absolutely a great addition to your trip! "
"We had a marvellous experience with Redouane as our guide for our group of 4 adults in the souk of Marrakech !! As Well in English and French we got so much added value of culturel knowkedge and information. We can only recommend him as a very sympathic and amazing guide !!! Thanks Redouane for making our trip much more interesting 🙏🙏 Great communication !! Kind regards Daisy, Jos, Jan and Edenice "
"On our first day in Marrakech, we booked a tour with Elhoussain. What a fantastic introduction to the Medina, the souks, and the various crafts you'll find there. Elhoussain is a very friendly and lovely guide. He knows the Medina intimately and introduced us to places we otherwise would never have seen. The tour with Elhoussain on our first day helped us explore the Medina with more confidence and knowledge for the rest of our holiday. I would definitely reccomend Elhoussain! Thank you so much for this wonderful afternoon!"

"We had a wonderful food tour with Kamal. He took us to local gems and the whole experience was amazing. We weren’t rushed and Kamal was lovely to chat with. Thank you. "
"We loved our tour with Adil - he was so enthusiastic and informative- we found loads of places in the souk we’d have missed by ourselves and he told us lots of interesting stories and history. I’d highly recommend. Thanks Adil 😀"
"Adil is an absolute Marrakesh expert with deep knowledge of the Medina. Friendly, warm and informative we had such a wonderful tour discovering places we would never have found on our own. Highly recommended!"
"Where do we start?! Mohamed was a fantastic tour guide. He took us to some very interesting places and we really felt like we were experiencing the shortcuts and hidden gems of the souks. Mohamed ensured to provide lots of interesting facts along the way, stopping to do so which was very helpful so we could fully interact. Mohamed was very easy to bond with and made us feel relaxed in his company. He also tailored the tour to our requirements. We could not recommend him enough! "
"We booked Adil for a tour of the souks and he was excellent. He was very friendly, easy to talk to, and very knowledgable. Adil showed us how to barter like a local and took us to a wide variety of stalls, all of which were excellent. He answered all of our questions and was keen to give us a great experience. It was a really helpful introduction to the souks. Thanks Adil."
"Second time booking a trip with Adil, this time we were treated to a Medina tour as a family. We had a wonderful time, trip was tailored to our individual preferences and felt very personal and relaxed. Really enjoyed the true insights and Adil was just lovely in answering the near endless questions from a 12 year old (who is still delighted with his new found haggling skills!) We hope to come back again - next time food!"
"We had a great time with Redouan exploring areas of the Souks that we wouldn’t have found otherwise. He told us a lot of the history and introduced us to many artisans. He was very generous with his time as we were much longer than the 2.5hrs. Thank you Redouan - much appreciated! "
