We hired Kamal for a private walking tour of the Marrakesh medina focused on quieter lanes, authentic artisan workshops, and local life—and overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. Kamal was personable, spoke excellent English, and navigated the medina with ease. A standout was his ability to point out truly authentic artisan shops versus those selling mass-produced (often imported) goods, which added real value to the experience. We explored areas of textile, leather, and metalwork we wouldn’t have found on our own, and gained a better appreciation for how the medina functions day to day. Hearing about his life and family outside the medina also added a meaningful, personal touch. We also appreciated a well-timed stop at a high quality spice shop along the way that offered a chance to sit, relax, and enjoy mint tea, and learn a lot about the role of spices in cooking and wellness—an unexpected but welcome break in the middle of the tour. A minor note: at times, some of the cultural explanations felt a bit embellished for storytelling, so it’s worth taking certain historical details in balance with the enjoyment of the experience. That said, this was still a strong experience and a great way to explore the medina with confidence. We would recommend Kamal, especially for first-time visitors who want a private learning experience in this amazing place!

In a world of overwhelming options, the private souk tour by Youness is an absolute MUST!!! It was my first time in Marrakech with my husband and 3-year-old daughter. We wanted to have an authentic experience but we also didn’t want to get lost or waste time looking for the best souks. I asked Youness to take us to his favorite souks but also told him the names of some shops which had been recommended to me. He made sure I found what I was looking for from high quality souks and even showed us a fabulous meshui restaurant serving lamb cooked in underground ovens! I cannot recommend his tour highly enough if you want to make the most of your time in the souks… Youness also offers fascinating cultural insights and historical stories along the way. You won’t regret it!
Thank you so much for this beautiful message! I’m so happy to hear that you, your husband, and your little one had a great experience exploring the souks with Youness. He really loves what he does and always goes the extra mile to make sure guests find the best spots—and it sounds like you got the full experience, from unique shops to the amazing meshui lamb! We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. Hope to welcome you back to Marrakech one day for more adventures! 🌿✨
