Very improvable

They do not explain anything, they just transported us by car, which was a good car, it was an Audi and it was a private visit, but the driver did not know much Spanish and did not explain anything about what we were going to see.

Operator response

Lamentamos sinceramente leer este comentario, ya que no refleja la experiencia que nos transmitieron durante la excursión. Nos confirmaron que habían disfrutado de la visita e incluso solicitaron contar nuevamente con el mismo conductor para otra excursión, aunque lamentablemente no estaba disponible. Nos gustaría aclarar que nuestro conductor habla español con fluidez y forma parte de nuestro equipo desde hace más de siete años, durante los cuales nunca habíamos recibido un comentario similar sobre su comunicación o conocimiento. Respetamos siempre las opiniones de nuestros clientes, pero nos resulta especialmente sorprendente recibir esta valoración después de las impresiones positivas que nos expresaron personalmente. En cualquier caso, lamentamos que su experiencia final no haya correspondido a sus expectativas 😣😥

Good to do the basics

A good way to get the basic sites covered in a short period of time. You do need to book your own ticket for the garden - can only be done online. Our driver didn't speak much English so there was a bit lost in translation about where to go for things like entry locations.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the experience a good way to cover the main sites efficiently in a short time. Regarding the tickets, as clearly stated in the experience details, entry tickets are not included in the price and must be purchased separately, usually online in advance as required by the sites. We would also like to clarify that all our drivers speak good English, as confirmed by many of our previous guests. However, we appreciate your comment and will continue to ensure smooth communication and clear coordination for all pick-up and drop-off locations to avoid any confusion. Your feedback is valuable and helps us keep improving our service. mohamed

Super fun day!

We felt in good hands from the start, with the great communication! Moha text me the night before to arrange a pickup point, even waited for us as we finished off breakfast. The car was spotless and plenty of water for the heat, and Moha’s driving made us feel safe too. Even with the traffic, he was prompt in picking us up from the each sight . The sights were all great, but the stories and history shared by Moha was what we really enjoyed! He knew we wanted more of a chilled time, so he made sure of this. And we laughed for most of the ride. We really can’t say for enough ‘thank you’ to Moha for this experience, and the whole team. Highly recommended by us!

Operator response

Thank you very much for your kind words 🙏 We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Moha and the whole team. It was our pleasure to take care of you, and we are glad everything went smoothly and met your expectations. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon

Half day Marrakesh tour

Moha our driver was delightful, nothing too much trouble and was always there waiting for us once we had seen the sites. He was informative and most importantly handled the fairly chaotic road conditions beautifully. A great way to see some of the sites a little further out in comfort.
