From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 20.
We will start by visiting the workshops of local artisans (leather goods, blacksmiths, carpenters, dyers, etc. and many others). We will visit some of the best showrooms, bazaars and shops, to discover the best products of our crafts, which one cannot find at first glance! From furniture to jewelry, lamps, accessories, rugs and Caftan… everything is in this one-of-a-kind tour!
The dyers' souk is located in the Medina, near the Mouassine spring and the mosque of the same name, in the western half of the tangle of streets. Although this souk lost its activity several years ago with the increasing use of industrial dyes, you can still see some small workshops where traditional dyeing is still practiced.
Considered the main artery of the souks of the Medina, Souk Semmarine is accessible from Place Jemaa El Fna, in a derb (medina alley) of the same name. A name that it takes from the farriers who once occupied this strategic place to shoe the animals of the caravanners, while the latter did their usual shopping. Today, the Souk Semmarine is a very colorful shopping avenue where you can find mainly merchants of fabrics, souvenirs, crafts but also unique addresses for Moroccan antiques. It represents the entrance to the specialized souks: spices, carpets, fabrics, slippers... A veritable Ali Baba's cave.

We had Amid for a tour guide and he is the best! Book with him! He showed us all the good stops in the souks. I would recommend using a guide in the souks or you will never find your way out; it is a crazy long maze in there. Thank you Amid!
We had Amid for our tour and it was the beat tour. Do not attempt to do the Souks alone, do this tour! Amid is the best tour guide! There is a lot to see and it is easy to get lost but Amid showed us all the good stuff and helped us get the best prices. Thank you Amid!
We had an absolutely wonderful tour of Marrakesh, made truly special by our fantastic guide, Amid. From the moment we met, his knowledge, professionalism, and friendly approach made us feel comfortable and welcome. Amid was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating insights into the history, culture, and daily life of Marrakesh. As first-timers, navigating the bustling souks can be overwhelming, but he expertly guided us through the maze of streets, helping us discover hidden gems we would never have found on our own. One of the most valuable aspects of the tour was the assistance with negotiating prices and communicating with the traders. Thanks to his advice and local expertise, we felt confident interacting with shopkeepers and had a much more enjoyable shopping experience. What really stood out was the personalised nature of the tour. Amid took the time to understand our interests and tailored the experience accordingly, making it feel unique and special rather than a standard sightseeing trip. We highly recommend Amid to anyone visiting Marrakesh. A truly memorable experience and an outstanding guide who went above and beyond to make our visit unforgettable. Thank you Amid

Amid made sure that he understood what we were looking for and made sure that he tailored the tour accordingly.

Amid is a very friendly, knowledgeable and kind man who gave us a very informative entertaining and fun tour through the souks. He also helped us to find the things we wanted and haggle the best prices. Thoroughly recommend.
Hello, Thank you very much for this excellent review, I also really enjoyed this tour with you, and I was very happy to show you my city, and very happy to have been able to help you with your shopping. Best regards, Amid

Ahmed was a wonderful tour guide. He showed us many places in the Medina. I would highly recommend this tour.
Hello, Thank you so much for this excellent review. I'm very glad you enjoyed the tour with me. It was a pleasure being your guide. Amid
Amid found us at the meeting point and it was just the two of of us on this booking. It was a wet day so we got under cover in the souk. Amid shared a lot of interesting information about Morocco, Marrakesh, the souk and the artisans. Plenty of history and how that has shaped Marrakesh today. There were various stops at different shops of good quality. Friendly selling, tea along the way, but no pressure to buy. A great way to familiarise yourself with the various areas of the souk and assistance in getting a better deal if you are keen to make a purchase. If you want to see more artisans in action it would be good to go on a morning tour
Hello Kathy, Thank you so much for this excellent review. I'm very glad you enjoyed the tour with me and that my advice was helpful. It was a pleasure being your guide. Best regards, Amid

Bonsoir, je vous remercie vraiment beaucoup pour cet excellent avis. Je suis très heureux que vous ayez aimé visité Marrakech avec moi, cela a été aussi un plaisir d'être votre guide. Je suis très content que vous gardiez d'aussi bons souvenirs de votre séjour. Amicalement Amid
