A total genius — we’re extremely grateful for the whole tour you gave us, for all the explanations, and for how kind, attentive, and friendly you were. The best guide we could have possibly had. We’ll come back and will always stay in touch with you. Thank you so much for everything.
We have just returned from a perfect morning with Rashid. It was relaxed and he showed us everything we wanted to see and more! We learned alot along the way. Rashid was very happy to answer all our questions. We were never put into position where we were obliged to purchase anything in the souks and in fact he helped us to buy the things we did want, including my deoderant that I forgot to pack!! 🤣 Thank you Rashid, you helped us create a great memory of our first day in Marrakech.
Mohsin was a fantastic guide. He grew up in the Medina, and his knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing it with visitors made for a better than usual guided tour. He gave us a crash course on Moroccan history and an explanation of Islam so that we had a better understanding of the culture and a context of what we were seeing in Marrakech. I highly recommend asking for Mohsin if you book this tour.
Absolutely brilliant tour and our guide was so informative. Loved it. You will be walking about 12,000 steps so proper footwear will be required.
This was the very first tour in Morocco for my husband and me, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was a private tour! Mouhssine met us right on time at the Koutoubia Mosque. We had a wonderful time exploring the medina and souks with him. We truly appreciated his extensive knowledge and the way he introduced us to the local history. Our only disappointment was missing the Bahia Palace, as it closed early for Ramadan, but everything else was perfect. Mouhssine even recommended a fantastic restaurant for dinner and personally coordinated with the staff to secure us a rooftop reservation. The food was delicious! We highly recommend this tour!
Mouhssine made us discover a part of Marrakech, he adapted to our family, recommended restaurants. These tips are valuable at the beginning of your stay. And all with a smile and in a good mood. Thank you Mouhssine.
A very complete and interesting visit to the most representative places of Marrakesh.
Mouhssine was AMAZING!!!! My friend and I (both 21 years old from USA) had such an amazing time with him. He showed us all the sights and catered it to what we wanted to see. He taught us so much history and also about cultural life in Morocco. He ended up taking us out to lunch after the tour!!
This was a wonderful way to get orientated to Marrakech. Mouhssine is so friendly and knowledgeable and took great care of us. He even helped us get money from a bank as we had none and the ATM’s weren’t working for us. He is a lovely person who shared much of his life and also history of the places we visited
Walking tour taking in points of interest, souks and the Secret Gardens of Marrakesh. Our guide for the whole morning was excellent and not only showed us around but was able to give us some do's and don't tips to keep us safe.
