Abdul our guide was very...

Abdul our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. It was fantastic to see and be guided through the huge maze of passageways, and to be taken down ones we would never have seen or understood the history behind.

A must!

My boyfriend and I booked the tour on the first day of our trip to Marrakech as a way to find our bearings. Abdul and his tour far exceeded our expectations, we couldn't recommend this tour highly enough.

Fantastic tour through downtown Marrakech.

We had an incredibly beautiful tour through the city center of Marrakech. The visited attractions were perfectly coordinated and included not only mosques, markets, and architectural highlights but also many traditional residential areas in the "Derbs." We would especially like to highlight our extremely knowledgeable, friendly, experienced, and patient guide, Abdul Aissaoui, who spoke perfect English. His very personal manner and his willingness to address all our questions greatly enriched our tour. A thousand thanks for this wonderful experience!

Best guided tour in Marrakesh!

Abdul is the best guide for experiencing Marrakesh in the best way! My boyfriend and I were a bit nervous at first, but we felt completely comfortable after meeting him. We learned so much about the city and about people’s lives. We ate at a wonderful spot that we liked so much we went back the next day, explored the souks, and visited the best artisans in each sector. I couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you for this wonderful day!

stop researching and hire this guide

I've hired viator private guides from scotland to bosnia and have had some great guides and Abdel is hands down one of the best. We got lost on our way to meet him and arrived a solid 1 hour late, and he was patiently waiting for us. What I thought was going to be a 3 hour tour ended up being 4 hours, plus the hour we wasted. His english is fantastic, good sense of humor, patience, he was great with our kids, gave great historical context, took us to places that were off the typical path, all interesting, nice walking pace, and all the while narrating the story of Marrakech. Honestly, to those doing the research and trying to decide amongst several nearly 5 star reviews, stop wasting your time and book this tour. The day after our tour, I whats apped him to ask about a reputable antique shop, and he offered to meet us in the medina and escort us to a place. Can't say enough good things, and can't think of any negative at all.

Beautiful day in Marrakech

My son and I had a wonderful day visiting Marrakech with Abdul. He showed us everything that I asked him to pack into one day. He shared so much information about his culture and the city and took us places we never would have found on our own. I’m so glad we hired him to guide us through this most amazing city. I would highly recommend Abdul and Marrakech Guided Tours!

Amazing experience - thank you Abdul!

This was absolutely THE BEST tour we did in Morocco! Abdul is so knowledgeable, courteous and kind. During the tour we learnt so much about the history of Marrakech and explored parts of the city we would not have otherwise seen by ourselves. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Marrakech! We cannot wait to come back to visit again! Shukran :) - Chiara and Toby

Knowledge, Storytelling & Kindness Enriched Our Visit

So grateful to Abdul of Marrakesh Guided Tours for three consecutive half days of amazing experiences. His knowledge, storytelling and kindness enriched our first visit to Morocco. We thoroughly enjoyed 1) Marrakech Hidden Sides, 2) Marrakech Arts & Crafts and 3) Marrakech Spiritual Heritage. This combination of tours, plus Abdul's excellent restaurant recommendations, enabled us to confidently enjoy our Moroccan adventure. We highly recommend working with Abdul to plan your visit and found him to be highly professional, flexible and a great communicator.

Choose Marrakech guided tours for a thoughtful and hassle free tour.

Abdul offers an individualised and thoughtful approach to planning a guided tour for you around Marrakech. We told him of our interest beforehand and he made sure to include things that we would find interesting. He's a very educated and experienced guide who can help with many things and questions. The tour we took with him a few days ago showed us sides of Marrakech we had never seen before and we got to meet some really interesting people (particularly the man who tends the fire for cooking pots of meat. He was also a gun well and played us some music. It was a truly lovely event). We felt very safe with Abdul at all times and experienced an absolutely lovely day. We were very grateful to have found Abdul in his company.

Operator response
