Our walking tour in Marrakech was fantastic! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems in a way that made the experience so enjoyable. We never felt rushed and were able to ask plenty of questions along the way. After the tour, Hamad took us to some of the best shops in the souks, where we found quality local products without feeling pressured. His recommendations made navigating the busy markets so much easier. If you’re visiting Marrakech, I highly recommend this tour for an authentic and memorable experience! Not to mention our driver Mistapha chauffeured us around in a well air conditioned van. Absolutely GREAT!!!

Great way to get a lay of the land in Marrakesh. Our guide, Mohammed, Was very knowledgeable and helped explain the rich history of the city and its people. It was very enlightening and gave us a great springboard for where we wanted to revisit to spend more time. I would only say that it should be made very clear that tickets for the Jardin need to be made well ahead of time and need to be made online. Overall, such a great trip!

Our guide and driver showed us around easily and our tour was smooth. Our guide Mo was professional and knowledgeable of the history of the places we visited, explaining many things we would have overlooked. We enjoyed a wonderful morning of sights and sounds. Definitely a tour to take with Mo.

Our tour guide was amazing. Mohamed. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He didn’t rush us and was so patient. My only negative review for this is that I think there should be a disclaimer that when you go to the market or the Square that the locals will try to rip you off. I took up three magnets and a camel from one of the stalls in marketplace. They tried to charge me 750 MAD which is equivalent to US$80. Luckily I had pulled out $115 that day which is equivalent to 200 MAD. I asked Mohamed if this was a reasonable price after I questioned it. He kinda played it off in the beginning but eventually told the guy we will come back. PLEASE in the future, have all your tour guide provide a disclaimer. I understand we are on vacation but we work VERY HARD for our money! I went to another stall in the market and got the SAME THING PLUS MORE for $13. I love supporting local businesses but that really pissed me off!
Dear Krystal, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Mohamed and appreciated his knowledge, patience, and friendly approach. Your kind words will certainly be shared with him. We also appreciate you taking the time to mention your experience while shopping in the Medina. We completely understand how frustrating that situation must have been. We would like to clarify that when a guest independently chooses to stop at a particular vendor, our guides must remain neutral and avoid interfering directly in price negotiations, as this can unfortunately lead to uncomfortable situations with the shopkeepers. However, if guests ask their guide for advice before making a purchase, our guides are always happy to recommend trusted shops known for their quality products, fair prices, and fixed or reasonable pricing. As a general tip for future visitors, the souvenir stalls located around Jemaa el-Fna Square often display higher initial prices than the smaller shops found deeper inside the souks. Exploring the inner markets or asking your guide for recommendations before making a purchase can often lead to a better shopping experience and more reasonable prices. Thank you again for your valuable comments. Your feedback helps us improve the experience we provide, and we will remind our guides to proactively encourage guests to seek their advice before making purchases. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Marrakech in the future. Warm regards, Asmaa Idar MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.
Mohammad was the BEST tour guide, we had such a wonderful experience. So informative and friendly, took us all around the city and had interesting facts at every stop, made sure we kept cool in the shade, and our driver Moustaba was incredible at getting to us at every spot and making us feel safe throughout the drive. Would recommend to anyone coming to the city with friends. Thank you!!
Dear Abigail, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an incredible experience with Mohammad and Moustaba. They will both be delighted to know that their knowledge, professionalism, and care helped make your visit to Marrakech so enjoyable. It’s especially rewarding to hear that Mohammad kept the tour engaging with fascinating insights while ensuring you stayed comfortable throughout the day, and that Moustaba’s safe driving and punctuality contributed to a smooth and relaxing experience. Thank you for your kind recommendation—it truly means a lot to us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your friends back to Marrakech for another unforgettable experience! Warm regards, Asmaa Idar MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.
Good tour that allows for flexibility, which should be expected given the price. I unfortunately didn’t find in time the perfectly good group tour options that cost a pittance of the price. I rushed a booked this private tour that consisted of only one client, me, which was a totally unnecessary luxury. You live you learn. Nevertheless Youness was knowledgable about the city, history, and was flexible with my tour preferences to spend more time in some places vs others. Further, he dropped me off in a requested location and the pick up from the hotel was prompt. I recommend the tour if you absolutely must have a private option. Otherwise there are other perfectly good group tour options for much lower prices.
Dear Diana, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with Youness and appreciated his knowledge, flexibility, and willingness to tailor the itinerary to your interests. We're also pleased that the hotel pickup and requested drop-off location contributed to a smooth experience. We understand that every traveler has different preferences and budgets. Shared tours can indeed be an excellent option for those looking for a more economical way to explore. Our private tour, however, is designed for guests who value a personalized experience, with the flexibility to adjust the itinerary, spend more time at preferred locations, travel at their own pace, and enjoy the undivided attention of a dedicated licensed guide and private transportation. We're glad that you were able to take advantage of this flexibility during your visit, and we sincerely appreciate your recommendation to travelers looking for a private experience. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Marrakech in the future. Warm regards, Asmaa Idar MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.
