Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Hassan was a brilliant guide. We had been to Marrakesh 36 years before so had not a clue how to navigate the alleyways and souks. Hassan met us at our riad after great communication to arrange an early start due to Ramadan. I was concerned our tour would be too shopping focused but it was not at all that way. Hassan took us to interesting hidden madrassas and mosques. He introduced us to locals and we were honoured by prayers. We learnt so much about the history of the medina and the lives of the people living and working there. We did do some shopping with true crafts people. There was no pressure to buy and felt safe with Hassan by our side that when we did want to buy we paid the right price. We even had a tile specially carved for us which was delivered to us mid tour. Amazing. I would recommend Hassan in a heartbeat. "
"Our guide was excellent. He showed us several hidden local spots that we would have never found on our own. He also shared many interesting facts about Madrasa Ben Youssef. Since we are from Europe, we especially appreciated how he explained many Islamic customs and cultural details, helping us better understand the local traditions. The only downside was that we booked the “Full Coverage Marrakech City Tour – approx. 5 hours”, but the tour actually ended after about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Since it was a private tour for two people and we paid €170 for a 5-hour experience, we expected the tour to last roughly the advertised duration. Ending significantly earlier than planned was a bit disappointing. "

"We had the best day with Ouidad! She was very informative while also cognizant of our kids short attention spans. We all loved getting to know her and learning more about everyday life in Marrakech. If you are looking to purchase anything she is a master negotiator- we bought a rug for a fraction of the price the sellers wanted thanks to her persistence and personal connections. We would recommend a tour with Ouidad to everyone!"
"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."
"I highly recommend doing a private tour with Redouan. We travelled with two young children and Redouan took great care to adapt the tour to suit our pace and needs (e.g.stroller friendly path, short breaks, different meeting point etc). Together with his friendly manner and the insights/tipps he shared, it was a great start to our stay in Marrakech! "
"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."
"Third city we have used withlocals in and another great experience. Redouan was a great guide for us, knowledgeable, friendly and well connected in the city. We spoke about the sights and history of the city but also more broadly about Morocco and its rich history. Great day out - many thanks, Redouan. "
"Redouan was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We heard so much about the history of the city, which was nice. Redouan went out of his way to fulfill our wishes - we went to special places and he didn't stop when the time was over, he was happy to accompany us until the end of the tour. Great experience!"
"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. "
"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. "
