Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We spent 5 hours with Rachid exploring the city almost immediately after landing in Marrakech, and we are so glad we did! What a great way to get oriented in the city and get our bearings - by that evening, we felt prepared to navigate the city all on our own, which has a lot to do with Rachid’s guidance. There are many ways you can spend your time with Rachid, so my biggest piece of advice would be to do a little research and come prepared to communicate exactly the type of tour you want. Rachid seems to know everything and everyone in the city, so he can make it happen. "
"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! "
"Enjoyed touring the Marrakech Medina and narrow lanes and sites I never would have found on my own. Enjoyed hearing the history and learning about the area and people. A tour was tailored to what I was interested in seeing. I traveled as a solo female and felt very comfortable. It was a great value for my time and money. "

"A lovely evening spent walking in parts of the medina that many will not find or experience. Artisan tradespeople working in their stores. No hustle or bustle and time to spend looking around. Great to see the intricate wood carvings - remember to look up. Make sure that you get the option to get onto a rooftop terrace to see across the city."
"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 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 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."
"Me and my friends had a full day tour in Marrakech with our lovely guide Ouidad. From the first moment we met her it felt we meet someone we already knew before. Ouidad is kind, radiant, smiling and with great sense of humour. Her knowledge and flexibility to meet our needs and interest were highly appreciated. We were a group of three women interested in history, architecture, handcrafts and local culture. From the stories about Bahia palace and Ben Youssef madrasah to the stories in the souks and local traditions, everything was catching and exciting. We immersed in totally new culture to embrace traditions, colours, scents and enjoy the beat of the streets of Marrakech. Ouidad was giving us a great explanation about the local sites of interest, traditions and was very patient and helpful on our way through the souks. I can’t find enough good words to recommend her. She is like a guardian angel that takes care of you from the very beginning to the end when it’s time for goodbye and that’s the difficult part because she is not a stranger anymore, but a friend. Thank you, dear Ouidad! We hope to see you again once back in Marrakech!"
"Enjoyed this tour with Redouan - we were 4 adults and wanted to see the medina, with some guidance and not being pushed to go into shops and buy! Redouan was very good, very knowledgeable and took us for an amazing coffee - calm in the chaos!"
"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. "
