Excellent private tour
We were met by Ali at our hotel and he was friendly and knowledgeable from the beginning. Nothing was too much trouble and all questions were answered. He showed all the important locations and was very helpful as my husband was struggling with walking. Mustafa our driver came as near to all locations as possible. A very informative tour and well worth the money. We now know so much more about Marrakesh.

Exploring Marrakesh 🫖
Lovely half-day excursion in Marrakesh with a polite driver and a knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend visiting Jardin Majorelle around 9am, before the rush, followed by the Bahia Palace and the market, where most of the shops open from around 10am. Everything was very well organised and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable.
Our tour guide gave us so much information about the history, local life and culture, and also took us to some great places in the market when we mentioned what we were looking to buy.
I would highly recommend them for this excursion and would gladly book with them again for any other excursions.

A true example of a guide exuding experience for a memorable morning.
We only arrived in Marrakech on Sunday evening and embarked on a private tour of the city this morning.
Our guide was Ahmad and his depth of knowledge, patience, enthusiasm and language skills reminded me of a guide we had in Uzbekistan.
These individuals are priceless and we are fortunate enough to have encountered them.
The gardens, mosque, palace and souk took on s whole new aspect for us .
Definitely an exceptional experience.
