Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"This was a fantastic guided tour. Hassan was very welcoming and approachable right from the start and this made it so a pleasant and personable experience. You promised to show me places otherwise wouldn’t be seen unusual and he lived up to is promise. Visited everything from a bakery they exist to bake other peoples bread, a wonderful mosaic maker a female cooperative that makes the most amazing carpets and rugs a whole day shop which was an experiencing itself. The owner tiyi g turban on my head look brilliant to an exclusive leather making shop where I purchased a high-quality belt. This was added by Tree in the secret garden. I have such a relaxing enjoyable and informative, time, that I treated Hassan to lunch we’ve got restaurant it’s completed the tour. Very kindly arranged for my sunglasses to be repaired which was a lovely touch to end a wonderful day. Thank you so much for Hassan and hope to catch up with you next time I’m in Marrakesh! "
"We had a wonderful experience with Ouidad as our tour guide in Marrakesh. My husband and I truly enjoyed her energy and spontaneity. She was warm, caring, and immediately understood what we were hoping to get from our tour of the medina. Ouidad gave us plenty of insight into Moroccan culture and shared so much knowledge about the places we visited together. It was the perfect balance of learning, exploring, and enjoying the atmosphere of the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend her!"
"We just spent a full day with Ouidad on the Marrakech City Tour and it was absolutely incredible. After having such a great experience with her during the night tour, we knew it would be special, but she somehow managed to make this one even better. What stood out the most were all the thoughtful little extras she included throughout the day. At each stop, she took the time to explain the plan so we always knew what to expect and never felt rushed. That attention to detail made the whole experience feel smooth and relaxed. She also went out of her way to capture beautiful photos of us, which we’ll treasure just as much as the memories themselves. Ouidad is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also so kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Spending the day with her gave us a deeper appreciation for Marrakech and the people that call this city home. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish. This was truly a one-of-a-kind experience and we couldn’t recommend Ouidad more highly. She has a gift for turning a tour into something unforgettable."

"We had the pleasure of spending close to 4 hours with the kind and knowledgeable Kamal. He was very versed in history. The love and passion for his country is undeniable. Come prepared to ask questions. He will patiently explain it all. He will make you discover HIS MARRAKESH!"
"We had a private 5 hour tour with Ouidad through Marrakech. She met us just outside our Riad. She asked us about our priorities and we got a tour that was well balanced between museums, souks and at the same time we learned a lot about the culture in the country. The ended actually up being a little longer as she wanted us to see the Bahia Palace. "
"Our guide was by far the best we have had in Marrakesh. A lovely calm gentle older man who knew so much too, we could not have had a better guide. Our tour was very interesting and we saw things we would never have found without him. He didn't push us to shop either which was so refreshing. Thank you so much Redouan! "
"With Redouan you can be sure to hear a lot of history story's. He knows everything about Marrakech. Our timing to book the tour was bad. We travelled the whole night before, so were to tired to finish the whole walkingtour, but Redouan showed us some beautiful sights of the medina. Thanks!"
"Hassan was the best guide we could wish for on our visit to Marakesh. We wanted to see this city through the eyes of a local, not a tourist and that was exactly what Hassan prepared for us. He is very knowledgeable, fun at the same time and knows all the secrets and shortcuts of this amazing city. He wants people to see the real Marakesh, not the touristy one and we truly appreciated that. Hassan showed us places where the local artesian create their pieces by hand: highest quality leather goods, beautiful wool and silk scarfs, the most detailed mosaics made by hand and gorgeous rugs made by local tribe women. When we come back we will definitely request Hassan again!"
"We had the most wonderful morning with Ouidad as our tour guide in the souls. As I had been before, I really wanted my family to experience the “unseen” part where the craftsmen make their wares. Ouidad was the perfect host with the most warm, kind and fun loving personality. She was very knowledgeable and shares many tips to bartering and navigating the souls! Her tales were insightful, educational and entertaining too. A wonderful person I would highly recommend."
