Azim was the perfect guide for my 79 year old father. He kept us in the shade on a very hot day and gave us plenty of breaks. At the same time he showed us interesting sites and fascinating stories. We highly recommend Azim as your guide in Marrakesh.

The experience was really good. Were were an Irish family of seven. Adults, a teenager and a young child aged 7years. We learned a lot about morrocan culture. We walked at a nice slow pace enabling us to take in the sights, sounds and smells of marrakech. Our guide Azim was lovely and made the tour so interesting. He also made a great effort to engage with the young child in our group. I highly recommend this experience
Dear Mairead :Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! It was an absolute pleasure meeting you all and guiding your wonderful family through Marrakech. Hosting a group of seven spanning adults, a teenager, and a 7-year-old is always a joy, and I’m so glad the relaxed pace allowed everyone to comfortably take in the atmosphere, scents, and colors of the Medina. Making sure the little ones stay curious and engaged is always one of my favorite parts of the tour, so it warms my heart to hear that your youngest enjoyed the experience! Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. Warmest wishes to you and your family back in Ireland, and I hope to welcome you all back to Morocco again someday! Warm regards, Azim
Mohamed makes the hidden tour routes interesting with his vast knowledge of history of Marrakech. We learnt a lot from the tour. Wish we had it earlier so we would have more time to explore the souks.. The pace was just nice and he even shared some recommendations on places to go when he learnt that we will be going to Casablanca and Fez.. highly recommended tour with Mohamed for those who want to know the hidden places in Marrakech!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the hidden tour and learned a lot about Marrakech’s history. I am really happy the pacing felt “just right,” and that you found the souks and less-known places more interesting because of our stops along the way. Also, I’m glad the recommendations for Casablanca and Fez helped—those are truly great cities to explore. It was a great honor to meet gorgious poeple from Sangabor .You are the kind of people that will remean in both my mind and "liver"(heart) You are always welcome, and I hope you’ll get the chance to return and enjoy even more of Marrakech next time With thanks, Mohamed🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍🥰

Thanks to a recommendation from friends, we (a family with 3 children, 10 and 14 years old) booked the half day guided tour of the hidden sights with Azim on our first day in Marrakesh. It was a wonderful day and Azim was the best guide, we could have wished for. He totally adapted to our needs as a family. We explored the Medina and souks together, he told us lots about the history, languages and the moroccan culture and life. We visited lots of different artisans (baker, bookbinder), learned how belts and bags are made out of leather, visited a traditional pharmacy and spice shop and tasted some fresh olives and other local specialities. He also gave us lots of tips how to avoid tourist traps during our stay in Morocco and how to negotiate but stay fair in the souks. When the kids needed a break after a couple of hours in the souks, we stopped in a lovely little traditional cafe and for our little ones Azim gave them a little challenge (counting and finding a certain number of cats on our tour) to keep them interested and going. After our tour, he even sent me links to some of the history and things we discussed so we could read in a bit more detail about it. We had the most wonderful time and I cannot recommend Azim enough !
Hi dear Guests Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly happy to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Azim and that you enjoyed so many different parts of Moroccan life and culture. It means a lot that you mentioned all the highlights—visiting the artisans, learning about leatherwork, stopping by the traditional pharmacy and spice shop, tasting local specialities, and of course Azim’s helpful tips for enjoying the souks while staying fair. We’re especially glad the tour kept the kids engaged, and that Azim’s little cat-counting challenge worked so well during the break at the traditional café. We also love that you appreciated the extra links Azim shared afterwards—so you could continue learning even after the tour. Thanks again for recommending Azim so warmly. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Morocco again someday! Warm regards, Marrakech Guide Azim
Awesome tour. Small group. Saw things we never would’ve seen in a typical tour like the bakery and the souks. Highly recommended
