We were guided on this beautiful tour by Mohamed, a very qualified, nice and instructive person about the history of marrakech and its famous places, we immediately felt at home, it was the first time for us here, and he managed to get us the story into our hearts and minds, we thank him very much for this, we will definitely return hoping to find him as a guide.
Mohamed was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Definitely a tour worth taking.
Great visit of the city of Marrakech, Mohammed helped us to guide us and took us to places where we wouldn't necessarily go. That was awesome! A big thank you
Zaim was my guide for a few hours around Marrakech. I chose a guide as I was a little nervous prior of how things in the Marrakech medina and souks would be. As it happened my worries were not warranted as it was absolutely fine. Zaim was a gentleman, very knowledgeable and his English was excellent. He insisted on walking me back after the tour, to pick up my shuttle bus and went out of his way to see me safely there. Five stars for this guy, he's a gem. Shukran Zaim.
Enjoyable wander around the nearby mosques and chaotic market and its streets and alleys. Our guide was very informative and did not overload us with info. Relaxed and friendly.
Zaim was a charming tour guide. Casually showed us the highlights of the medina and souk area. Full of local knowledge. Messaged us the day before with the meeting point. Would recommend for first time visitors to get your bearings. Thank you Zaim.
We were instructed to meet outside post office at bardi atm at 11, arrived at 10.40 and gave up waiting at 11.20. Sent watsapp to guide but have had no reply
Mohamed did a good job pointing out the main attractions and guiding us through the Medina. He is a good man with an interesting history.
Zaif was a very helpful guide, who went at the pace we wanted, and showed us where to find some of the key sites in the city. He managed not to lose us in the souks, which was quite an achievement, and also gave us some interesting information about Islam and about the history of Marrakech.
Had a really great experience with Zaim. Booked the private group tour for my wife, two girls and my mother. The instructions on the trip advisor site were spot on and we met Zaim there. He was a pleasure as a tour guide, very informative, friendly and obliging. Wasn't rushing us around, didn't bring us to any shops. Great tour for getting your bearings and understanding where all the sites are, seeing the Souqs and some of the mosques, which is all we wanted to do. Thanks Zaim
