Great Private Tour!
5 stars! I’m glad we booked a private tour in the morning before the Medina got too busy. We spent about 3 hours exploring, visited the Ben Youssef Madrasa and the Secret Garden, did some shopping, and learned a lot about Moroccan culture and history. Overall, it was a great way to experience Marrakech and we really enjoyed it.
Operator response

It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed discovering Moroccan culture, history, and the souks. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Not private and quite inattentive
We were a group of 6 for a walking tour. The Guide led us around without even paying attention that everyone was following. Then, at the end, at the Secret Garden, we were left on our own.
Operator response
We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We take your feedback about keeping the group together and the end of the tour at the Secret Garden seriously. We’ll review this with our team to ensure our guides remain attentive to all guests throughout the experience. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Best regards.

Beautiful but also commercial
The guide was very pleasant and could tell a lot. Precisely by booking a private tour we had thought not to enter commercial stairs but we were taken to a herborista. Which in itself was fun and interesting but took 45 min time. Started 15 min later and stopped 15 min earlier because he had next tour. Effectively 1.5 hours remained of the 3-hour walk. Which meant we hadn't done everything we expected.
Operator response
