"From start to finish this tour was amazing! Redouan is indeed a true ambassador for Marrakech, what a gentle and caring soul. Redouan provided such an informative Medina tour, it was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. We always felt like we were being treated as special guests. Background history of the medina was intertwined with the visits with local craftsmen, bakers and true hidden gems. I could not recommend Redouan more and sincerely thank him for an incredibly memorable few hours of exploring. If you are thinking of doing this tour, do not hesitate booking Redouan!! "

Wonderful guide
"Aimad is knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and happy to ensure that your tour suits your needs and interests. He's not one of those guides who will bring you to shops where there's lots of pressure to buy; he truly wants to share his Marrakech with you. We did 3 tours with him and would happily do more! (Note: I will put this review on the 3 tours we did with him, so don't be wary if you see the repetition!)"

Family guide of Marrakech
"Adil was welcoming, warm and friendly. He was very passionate about his city and had lots of knowledge to share. He was happy to be asked questions and took time to answer them. Adil engaged with our children (7&11) who had a super experience in a busy and chaotic environment compared to their experiences of life in a quiet spot in Wales. We were hungry at the end of our tour and were keen to eat some traditional Moroccan food, have a view over the square and have food which our children would eat also. Adil, found us a great restaurant - would definitely recommend him. "
"We all had a great time with Mohamed, seeing new areas of Marrakesh that we wouldn’t have found on our own.
Mohamed was very accommodating and adapted the tour, and took us to an amazing lighting shop, where we saw some outstandingly beautiful pieces.
Thank you Mohamed we would love to return to Marrakesh and explore more of this amazing place with you. Very best wishes. "

Perfect family tour
"We had a fabulous tour with Omar. From the beginning he engaged with our 9 and 11 year old meaning they asked questions and were never bored. Omar was particularly brilliant with our son who has
ADHD and is really struggles to listen!! He was super kind to him which made the whole experience relaxing for us! We wish Omar was with us all week 😂
Omar has great city knowledge and we learnt lots about the culture of his beautiful city. We couldn’t recommend a tour with Omar more!

"We recently took the 2.5-hour Medina Tour in Marrakech with Redouan as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience! Redouan's deep knowledge spans a wide range of topics, from the rich history and stunning architecture of the city, to its culinary traditions and even politics. What made the tour exceptional was how effortlessly Redouan could weave together these subjects, making the time fly by while leaving us with a profound connection to Moroccan culture, and especially to Marrakech and its iconic Medina.
Redouan’s calm and polite demeanor instantly puts you at ease. He has a special way of making every moment feel personal, which enhances the entire experience. If you're looking to truly immerse yourself in the heart of Marrakech, we highly recommend taking a tour with Redouan! You won’t regret it!"

Insightful, local experience and time
"Redouan brings you through the winding narrow paths of the Medina of Marrakech and introduces you to his neighbourhood! He is well-known and respected by the residents, and never fails to loop you into local conversations. More than that, Redouan personally makes sure you are able to get beautiful local gems and souvenirs at local prices, and would not hesitate to haggle for you to reach an equitable price. He provides a truly local experience in an otherwise bustling medina souk, with off the beaten paths all while sharing his 27 years of experience! Recommended, time and time again. Thank you Redouan! Shoukran! "
"I booked Aimad as I was quite apprehensive about touring the centre with two young children. I also wanted us all to learn about Marrakesh and see more than stalls and cafes.
Aimad was great. He took us around the souks and square telling us all about the history and culture of Marrakesh. He kept the information interesting to us and our kids.
I highly recommend using Aimad and a tour guide to get the best experience in Marrakesh centre.
Some tips: Haggle. We got ripped off buying a football strip and small ornament. I don’t like haggling but it’s the norm to them.
-it is very busy. If you’re not comfortable in tight, busy areas I’d avoid the shops.
-there are lots of cats but these are taken care of by the Marrakesh people.
Enjoy!"
"We had scheduled our tour with Ouidad at the beginning of our trip, but had to reschedule due to my daughter having an allergic reaction at breakfast on our fist day. Ouidad went out of her way to reschedule with us (TWICE!). My daughters repeatedly said that we "saved the best for last" --- this tour was fantastic, and my daughters could not stop talking about it! Ouidad spoke wonderful English, shared interesting information and stories, and engaged the entire family throughout the tour. Our trip would not have been the same without this tour! She was the best!"
