マラケシュのハイライト：アガディールのガイド付きツアー

<p>Very entertaining trip from Agadir to Marakech. Interesting city worth to visit. Our guide Youssef managed to show us as much as possible for one day. Thank you!</p>

<p>Great trip. Driver was knowledgeable and left us feeling relaxed and like we had taken away a good amount of information.</p>

<p>What a scam. Of the 4ish hours we were there we spend 1.5hr hearing sales pitches from shops that obviously were going to give kickbacks to the tour guide company. Another 1hr was at a pre-determined lunch restaurant where we were expected to pay 29euro per person for a pre-fixed lunch tapas-like meal. Again, obviously the restaurant was going to give the operator a kickback. In total we only had roughly 20 minutes in the market. All the things people wanted to buy which were located in the market were the very same items the pre-identified shops were trying to sell us on but the market had the items as a much discounted price. Stay away from this operator.</p>

<p>This tour didn't remotely meet our expectations nor that advertised on the Viator site. Our tour included only the following:<br/> . The drive and back to Marrakesh <br/> . The minaret where we were dropped off and were told to look around it on our own and take some photos<br/> . We were dropped off opposite the tombs and told to pay the entrance fee and meet our guide back outside a traditional pharmacy once we had looked around the tombs ourselves<br/> . The pharmacy gave us a hard sell to buy their products <br/> . We were told to go inside a craft shop on our own for them to sell us things<br/> . Finally we were driven to the main square and were asked how much time we wanted to spend there before being driven back, we were encouraged not to stay too long as the drive back would take three hours.</p> <p>In short, we didn't see the following: Majorelle Garden, Bahia Palace which should have been an absolute highlight and the Museum of Fine Arts IF Dar Said. Also we were not shown around the the souk of dyers, leather through the spices. We actually got lost trying to find our way around it ourselves. We did not get any sort of walking tour of the city or get to experience the aerial views - both mentioned as highlights in the tour description. To top it all off, the driver struggled to stay awake on the way back he actually had to get out of the car to splash himself with water, we didn't feel very safe.</p> <p>We ended up writing a complaint to Viator as the tour was absolutely unacceptable given what was promised and what it actually delivered. However, Viator said they contacted the supplier, however, after three or four weeks all we got was a brushing off and lame excuses and most of our complaints weren't even addressed. Stay away from this tour and be aware when using Viator, they may be good normally but when things went wrong they failed us completely.</p>

<p>The driver never came to pick us up... So we never came to marrakech</p>

<p>Our guide Youssef arrived at our hotel very promptly. We found him to be extremely knowledgable and friendly, and he was always on time. <br/> The tour involved the guide taking us to various places mentioned, and we roamed it ourselves and came back at an agreed time. <br/> I did not feel rushed at all, and Youssef was always on time to pick us up at the meeting points. </p> <p>The journey was comfortable, with an air conditioned car and comfortable seats- and we felt safe with the car, and Youssef's driving.<br/> Unfortunately we did not get to visit the Majorelle gardens and Museum, but i am sure if we were not so tired we would have done!</p> <p>I would recommend this tour to anybody who wants a glimpse of how Marrakech is without the stress of getting lost!</p>
