    Steward of his country& Window to the city

    "I was fortunate enough to share one afternoon with Redouan in the heart of Marrakesh. Redouan is not only an incredible historian of his city and country, but he was hospitable, friendly, and beyond eager to share. Our afternoon felt less like a 'tour bus excursion' and more like going for an afternoon stroll with a friend. We stopped for coffee, chatted with local merchants and craftsmen, and my desire to partake and experience this culture was beyond satiated. If you are: curious about Morocco, interested in history, don't know where to get started, don't know the language, or just want to experience this incredible city with a local, I could not recommend Redouan enough. His hospitality, experience, and willingness to share mitigated the difficult boundaries of culture shock in a manner closer to a friend. Thank you! (Additionally, Redouan is a great resource for broader Morocco tourism. I did a ten day Morocco trip over five cities and booked this tour on day two. Speaking with Redouan about all the destinations I planned on visiting and asking for recommendations/what to expect etc. was very helpful.)"

    A great day in the medina of Marrakech

    "Mohamed spent a great day showing us around the medina of Marrakech. He explained the different areas and souks within thr medina, and showed us the location of a few historical sites that we wanted to visit the next day. We had a lovely mid morning stop for pastillas and yogurt, and a wonderful lunch at Le Jardin. We had asked to be taken to a good store for lighting fixtures, so after showing us the iron working souk, Mohamed took us to the most amazing lighting store/gallery. After a great day of wandering the souks, Mohamed left us with a long list of recommendations for lunch and dinners for the rest of our stay. We truly enjoyed our day with Mohamed as a guide."

    Outstanding Guide!

    "We highly recommend Redouan. He is a gentle soul, warm, very personable and certainly well versed in history and economics. He gave us a deep understanding of the Moroccan culture and people that we doubt we could have found elsewhere. We also felt he introduced us to many “hidden gems” of Marrakech that one would never see on a typical tour. We particularly enjoyed all of the different people and artisans he introduced us to. We felt as immersed in Moroccan culture as one can be in a 6 hour tour. Redouan is a great guide and a great human being. "

    Discovering the medina with Aimad

    Great introduction to this chaotic city

    "This was our first visit to Marrakech. We wanted to make sure we had a guide to introduce us to the city. It can be difficult to navigate. Rachid was very communicative prior to our tour. He asked what we wanted to see so he could customize it. He guided us through the sites, including the souks, which can be very overwhelming. He was very helpful in helping my wife and daughter find their way through the shopping sites. He was very flexible during the tour. We felt like we had a guide working with us rather than someone taking us on a predetermined route. Marrakech is a beautiful, chaotic city. I would strongly recommend a guide like Rachid to help you get your bearings at the beginning of your stay. "
