The Jemaa el-Fnaa is Marrakech’s main square and the most important part of the medina. Here, inhabitants and tourists gather both during the day and night to have something to eat, shop or observe the various shows taking place.
Bab Agnaou is one of the nineteen gates of Marrakesh, Morocco. It was built in the 12th century in the time of the Almohad dynasty. While Bab er Robb was the official entrance to the city, Bab Agnaou gives entrance to the royal kasbah in the southern part of the medina of Marrakech.
The Bahia Palace is a palace and a set of gardens located in Marrakesh, Morocco. It was built in the late 19th century, intended to be the greatest palace of its time. The name means "brilliance".
Historic Jewish quarter of Marrakesh sees revival
The Kasbah district is the Royal Palace district. There are also the Saadian Tombs. It is a tourist area around the Tombs, but which also remains completely authentic, with many traditional shops and which finds its peaceful life as soon as the Saadian Tombs close....
The Saadian tombs are sepulchres in Marrakech, Morocco, which date to time of the Saadian dynasty sultan Ahmad al-Mansur. They are located on the south side of the Kasbah Mosque. Abandoned for centuries, the tombs were rediscovered in 1917 by aerial photography and were renovated by the Beaux-arts service.
The Koutubiyya Mosque or Koutoubia Mosque is the largest mosque in Marrakesh, Morocco. The mosque's name is also variably rendered as Jami' al-Kutubiyah, Kutubiya Mosque, Kutubiyyin Mosque, and Mosque of the Booksellers.

Guided tours are not something I usually like but our guide Abdullah made me change my mind. He was funny, knowledgeable and kept the group active. Great way to see marrakech with some real info and history. 100% recommended
"I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour! Changing a skeptic's mind is my favorite part of the job. It was a pleasure sharing the history of my city with such an active group. Thank you for the kind words! – Mohamed"
This was a nice tour. We went to many local historical areas and learned about elements of each. Our guide was very casual and did not go deeply into any subject, but overall it was a nice walking tour and we did see many locations.
Hi Allison, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback ! Thank you for your note ! We will tale into consideration ! Hope to see you next time! Kind regards, MGT
The guide insisted on waiting on people who were up to 30 minutes late. Duration 3hrs was reduced to 2hrs. 7 stops advertised which we did not have. English speaking tour but half spoke French so the guide held the rest of us up while a translator repeated what he said. Expensive tour, definitely not good value for money.
A beautiful historical visit. The guide Akim explained the history, monuments etc. to us well. He even took me to a jewelry store for my rings. Thanks to him .
The guide was nice and informative, but missed out a couple of the sites on the itinerary. This was a shame as I was expecting to do the itinerary and then had to rearrange my trip schedule to fit in the other sites. Excuses were made as to why we missed out sites, such as they are closed today: which was not true. Another reason was that too much time was spent in one site, which was not true, but also I would expect the guide to be on top of keeping track of time. At the end of the tour we were promised a tea, but then were taken to the ‘chemist’ style shops where we were pushed to buy products. I didn’t expect this part of the tour.
Got it. The missed sites were closed due to a cultural event, not the guide's fault. Some guests also wanted to visit the herbal medicine place. It's worth discussing any concerns with the tour company for future clarity. If you need more help, just let me know.
Bad experience, tour cancelled an hour before with a message..and for the refund I will have to wait about a week!
We enjoyed the tour, Mohammed was very friendly and funny. Although the itinerary was different from the one described, it was very informative still.
Hello Olga, Thank you for sharing your experience. i will be happy to show yu around next time! kind regards, Mohamed
What a fabulous guide - Friendly, authentic and knowledgeable, sharing all his top tips but also taking care of us along the way- we were able to see parts of the city that we’d never have known about and felt completely safe. Mohammed grew up in Marrakesh and talked through the cultural side of the city which gave us a “local” perspective and interaction rather than an instructional “tour”. There was no pressure selling (and with a guide we were able to be walk through the souls without any hassle). I’d recommend this guide wholeheartedly - he’s the best !
Hello dear friend, Thank you for sharing your for sharing your experience regarding the Medina and shopping in the souks.Thank you fo the compliments! I will be glad to meet you next time. Kind regards, Mohammed

Merci de choisir nos produits et pour les compliments, esperant de vous rencontree la procaine fois!
An informative, pleasant guide who took us to many workshops we wouldn't have ordinarily seen by ourselves. Could have had some history behind the souks, mosques and palaces etc. It wasnt quite what was advertised as we didnt walk past many of the places listed. Ie Koutoubia mosque, palaces hammams or receive the Moroccan tea. In hindsight many of the places described within the itinerary were too far away to walk to anyway! Ie Jardin majorelle
Hello, I am sorry that parts of the tour was not to your liking. We try to satisfy our guests but you should also talk about what you want to see, would be better than a delayed feedback. The tour you booked is not a historical tour however it includes the Souks and Medina. The Majorel garden is not included in our itenerary. The tour can be customized to your interests if you talk to your guide. Anyway, Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards, Mohammed
