How Kamal Made Us Fall in Love with Morocco
From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank the wonderful Kamal for the tour of Marrakech. My family and I didn’t expect to meet such a wonderful, intelligent, well‑educated, and well‑read guide who has a high level of understanding of Morocco’s culture, history, religion, and sociology. I learned many interesting facts, which I later shared with my friends. After such an educational experience, we will definitely return to Morocco again and turn to Kamal for an excursion and accompaniment. Thank you very much, Kamal! With great love from Russia!

Private Customized Medina Walking Tour – Marrakesh
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!
