Exceptional tour!
"We had an absolutely exceptional 5-hour private city tour of Marrakech with Ouidad, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, she customized the experience to fit exactly what we wanted to see and do, which made the day feel personal, thoughtful, and perfectly paced. We visited all the major highlights—including the stunning Bahia Palace and the breathtaking Ben Youssef Madrasa—and then dove into the souks, where Ouidad’s deep knowledge of the city made the experience both fascinating and stress-free. She also arranged for us to see traditional rug weaving and learn about argan oil production, which added such a rich cultural layer to the day. Ouidad is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and professional, and she explained the history, culture, and daily life of Marrakech in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. We never felt rushed, and she was attentive to what interested us most. If you are visiting Marrakech, I cannot recommend Ouidad highly enough—this tour was informative, immersive, and absolutely worth every minute."

A+ tour on Souks & Marakash
"Redouan was an exceptional host to a wonderful city. He showed us artisans and excellent craftsmanship amongst the many choices. Museums were great with a guide showing us the important highlights and allowing us to get a full city in depth tour. Oh by the way. He knows just about everyone in town. Friendly and kind would be a great description.
Redouan bottom line is an excellent guide for the city of Marakash. Worth my time. Should be on your list as well."

"Ouidad is a precious gem💎. She has a great personality and she's also able to make you feel comfortable. We really enjoyed her and our time together because we never felt rushed, she just respected our times always being kind with our daughter (8 years old). We were able to see a lot and also she took us to taste incredible food, visit several shops and we never felt obliged to buy. She was great from all the points of view and I was so happy of my choice because we had an amazing introduction to the city, culture and religion too. I loved her way to explain and her sense of humor. The tour also includes Bahia Palace and Madrasa that are both amazing, a really must see. Thank you so much Ouidad, it was a great pleasure to meet you☺❤"

Fantastic Orientation in the Medina
"We spent a wonderful 5 hours in Redouan’s company, exploring many beautiful sights in the Medina, He tailored our walking tour to our interests including the exquisite Dar El Bacha Museum & Le Jardin Secret. It was a relaxed, informative & fantastic introduction to this bustling city, and we saw & sampled things along the alley ways which would easily be overlooked on our own. Highly recommended. "

You could do two days
"Just as another thought for people that two days of guiding is what we chose. We wanted full in depth two days in a row with different things to cover. Redouan did a great job taking two days and adding a little extra items to learn and tidbits of information.
So if one wants to consider two days of guiding. We enjoyed it as well."

Excellent
"We had a great private walking tour with Redouan. He was very relaxed, friendly, and knowledgeable. The day before I asked him if we could meet nearby our Riad. Therefore he had to change the program but it was no problem for him. He made the experience feel easy and personal and he took us away from the tourist crowds. You can ask him everything and his English is good. We enjoyed the walk.

Mo was great
"Mo was awesome, we really enjoyed his personal tour around Marrakech. He was so knowledgeable about history of Morocco and other countries to tie things together. It was such a great history lesson. I would definitely recommend spending the day with him to see the sites and enjoy the deep history of the area. We hope to be out there again soon and see Mo again. "

Incredible experience with Abdallah!
"Abdallah was a fantastic guide for our day in Marrakech! He was organized, proactive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He customized the day for us - we are active and love to explore, and he showed us all the nooks and crannies of Marrakech and then helped us find a delicious spot for authentic Moroccan food! He is a curious and thoughtful guide with a deep knowledge and love of Moroccan culture and the city. Would highly recommend! "
