Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had an absolutely fantastic time on our souk tour! Our guide's English was flawless, which made learning about the rich history of Marrakech and the Medina incredibly engaging. They had an impressive depth of knowledge and were so helpful in tailoring the walk, directing us exactly where we wanted to explore. We got so much out of this tour and walked away with great insights we wouldn't have found on our own. Highly recommend!"
"Redouan was a lovely local host. He was amenable to changing the start and end locations to accommodate our itinerary for the rest of the day, which was hugely appreciated. And he gave us a thorough tour of the souks and artisan workshops - taking us down lanes we would have never discovered on our own, pointing out reputable vendors and introducing us to really talented local artisans and their processes, materials and crafts. He was incredibly knowledgeable and warm. Took the speed slow as we were traveling with my older mother. Would book again and recommend. "
"Adil was a fantastic tour guide. We sampled a number of Marrakech's local foods and toured a few shops (at our request). Adil was a wealth of information on Marrakech and Morocco. We learned a little history, shopping tips and food recommendations. We enjoyed our tour and would recommend Adil as a tour guide."

"Ouidad was an absolute delight. We spent the morning exploring the souks with her and along the way learnt so much about Marrakech, its culture and its people. Ouidad was able to tailor the tour to our interests which made the experience feel personal and memorable. What really set Ouidad apart as a guide was her enthusiasm and warmth- it was like spending time with a friend. Would highly recommend."
"Redouan proved himself to be a knowledgable guide, easy to communicate with and friendly He was flexible with our itinerary. He was recognized by many locals in the souk who stopped to wish him well, in addition, his English was excellent. I would recommend Mr. Redouan to anyone looking for a tour of Marrakech. "
"Wow! We had so much fun discovering the souks with Ouidad! We were a group of 4 women and loved Ouidad's stories and sense of humour as she led us through the souks based on the things we had suggested we were interested in seeing. Ouidad was so happy to cater for our needs as we didn't want to be rushed and we had a pregnant lady with us, and we spent much longer than expected with her. Ouidad helped us to barter when we did see something we liked and it is clear she knows the souks like the back of her hand and is a familiar face there. We were worried 2.5 hours would feel like a long time and it turned out it wasn't enough time at all! 100% would recommend and if we come back then we will be sure to look Ouidad up! "
"Adil was wonderful at showing us around. He incorporated culture, history, and even a couple of bites of Moroccan food into our tour. After the tour was over, he provided recommendations of places to eat and things to see to complete our visit to Marrakech "
"He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you "
"Redouan is a fantastic guide for any experience in Marrakech! We were already lucky enough to have him as our guide last year. So it was a given that we would once again have him lead us through the unique sights of Marrakech this time around. With great care and incredible attention to detail, he guided us through the souks and let us benefit from his countless contacts and friendships with local artisans and merchants, built up over the years. Redouan is a very experienced, empathetic, and personable expert on Marrakech. We will definitely ask him to be our expert guide on our next visit."
