The tour with Ahmed was more than we could expect. He communicated the day before to ensure we knew where we were meeting. He has so much knowledge and we gained insight to the culture, history and community of this beautiful city! Ahmed helped us navigate the maze of the souks and brought us to places that would sell us quality goods. I highly recommend organising a tour with him!
thanks for your lovely review
Great guide who tells a lot about Marrakech and about the culture in Morocco. Highly recommended!
thanks a lot for the nice review and the great feedback.
Ahmed was courtesy and on time to meet as at the hotel for our guided tour of the old quarter of Marrakesh. Very knowledgeable and handled questions with great alacrity. He also took care of us from a safety perspective. I would highly recommend him to others and if we go back we would use his services again.
thanks for submitting your awesome review. can't wait to see you again next time. Ahmed.
Ahmed is a very good guide. He was able to explain the most important facts in fluent English and guided us safely through the streets of Marrakech. We had a toddler with us who had little desire for the tour. Ahmed did not let it get him out of his mind and reacted relaxed to additional stops needed. A very good city tour!
my pleasure that you liked the tour with me. my greetings to the little Samuel the brilliant and the active little boy. hope to meet you again next time.
Highly recommended! We felt safe. He made sure for us to enter the riad (which we had a difficulty getting in) He explained us everything about the city, history, what we werw seeing without over- analyzing, so we remember the basic and importan info. He also gave us a lot of advices about where to eat, from where to buy things.
thanks for lovely feedback. I -all the time- care about tourists who have issues with the access to their Riad or hidden places in the old Medina. gld that you enjoyed the tour with me, and hopefully we'll meet again soon. Ahmed
I visited Marrakech for first time and my husband for second time, both of us enjoyed the tour and the stories of the city very much. Ahmed’s tour is well curated, you get the high light of the main attractions in the city, at the same time many stories about how people live in Marrakech and Muslim manners. Entering stores or paid attraction based on our willingness as well, no pressure on entering. ( we enjoyed the shop we decided to see!) Overall very delightful and robust experience. Highly recommended to any one who wants to know the city !
glad you liked the tour, I enjoyed the tour as well, thanks for your lovely review. hope to see you again next time. Ahmed.
Would highly recommend this tour with Ahmed. He showed us some of the tops sights in Marrakech and was very knowledgeble about the area and the history. There was just the right amount of inofrmation. We also went around the souks and Ahmed showed us where to shop and we walked through some beautiful areas and saw antiques and argan oil and got some great restaurant recommendations. It's a great tour to do at the start of your trip so you can orientate yourself and get some advice.
thanks dear for your precious review, glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with me. hopefully we will meet again next time!
We had a great day with Ahmed. His communication prior to our tour was super, and we found the meeting place no problem at all. He took us on our tour and showed us the sights at our own pace. His knowledge of the area was fab and he answered all our questions with no problem at all. A knowledgeable, experienced tour guide who clearing loves the city of Marrakech. Bonus was skipping the lengthy queue for entrance to the secret garden as Ahmed was a tour guide and is allowed priority. Thank you Ahmed for a lovely day! (My top tip would be to do this tour on your first day so you can get your bearings of the city for the rest of your visit)
thanks for your lovely review! happy to hear that the tour was amazingly done! Thanks for booking with me this exceptional tour, and hope to see you again next time.
An excellent tour with Ahmed. A very informative tour and the guide was extremely helpful and not overbearing. We felt it was just the right balance for us. He was exceptionally pleasant and very helpful when it came to assisting me with buying things. I would strongly recommend booking this tour.
thanks for your amazing review, glad that you liked the private tour I delivered exceptionally for you. hopefully we will meet again next time.
Ahmed was just great. We had a private tour but he knew so much and took us to places in the souks that were not public. He gave us the confidence to do it alone and not worry if we got lost. He also gave us great advice on where to get good deals. I cant recommend him enough. Great man and amazing experience. Thank you Ahmed! We will be back
thank you for your lovely review, I enjoyed the tour with you as well. Thanks again for booking this tour with me. I can't wait to see you again next time!
