Wow Idris was outstanding. He was warm friendly and spoke great English. We told him the top places we’d like to see and what we were looking for in the market and he made it happen. He was very knowledgeable and made all the information very digestible and easy to understand. We visited the Jarden Majorelle, getting there for the 8:30/9am booking was fantastic as there were little crowds and we had a chance to take lovely photos. We then went onto the medersa ben youssef which was the highlight of our tour. We then walked through some markets and he took us to a place for homemade coffee on hot sand which was a fun authentic experience. We next went to the secret garden which again was beautiful and he had such knowledge about the history. We finished up in the main souks sermmarine and then the square of Jemaa El-Fnaa. We felt very safe with Idris and he wove his way throughout the market with ease and went at a comfortable place for us. I couldn’t recommend him more!!!!
Dear Charlotte, Wow, thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience exploring Marrakech with Idris. He will be thrilled to know that his warmth, knowledge, and ability to tailor the tour to your interests made such a positive impression. It’s wonderful to hear that the early visit to the Majorelle Garden gave you the opportunity to enjoy it with fewer crowds, and that the Ben Youssef Madrasa became the highlight of your tour. We’re also glad that the walk through the markets, the traditional coffee prepared on hot sand, the Secret Garden, the souks, and Jemaa el-Fna gave you such a varied and authentic experience of Marrakech. Most importantly, we’re very happy to know that you felt safe and comfortable with Idris throughout the tour and that he adapted the pace to suit you. Providing a personalized experience like this is exactly what our private tours are about. Thank you again for your fantastic recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. We will make sure Idris receives your lovely comments! Warm regards, Asmaa Idar MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.
Overall, this was a good tour. The guide was very nice. The garden portion could be visited without being part of this tour and is self-guided. Although there is air flowing in the van, it is not air conditioned. Lastly, the walk through the Medina / souks is not narrated and there is not time to actually do much shopping.
Dear Laura, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that overall you enjoyed the tour and appreciated your guide. We would just like to clarify a few points that may also be helpful to future guests. Regarding the transportation, the minivan used for your tour is equipped with air conditioning. Passengers seated in the rear also have their own controls to adjust the airflow and temperature according to their comfort. It is possible that these controls were not clearly pointed out at the beginning of your tour, and we will remind our team to make sure this is explained whenever necessary. The Majorelle Garden can indeed be visited independently and the visit inside the garden itself is self-guided. Its inclusion in our tour allows guests to combine it conveniently with the other major highlights of Marrakech, with private transportation and a licensed guide accompanying them throughout the overall city experience. Regarding the Medina and souks, our guides normally share information about the history, traditions, crafts, and daily life of this fascinating part of Marrakech. When it comes to shopping, however, we deliberately try to respect each guest’s preferences. If guests do not express a particular interest in shopping, our guides generally avoid taking them from shop to shop, as we never want our guests to feel pressured or placed in an uncomfortable commercial situation. As this is a private tour, guests who would like more time for shopping, bargaining, or exploring particular sections of the souks are always welcome to mention this to their guide. The itinerary can usually be adapted accordingly. Thank you again for your constructive feedback. It helps us continue improving both our service and the way we communicate the flexibility available during our private tours. Warm regards, Asmaa Idar MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.
Younes, our guide, and Ismail, our driver, led us on a magical tour of Marrakech. We toured the Jardin Marjorelle, the Bahia Palace, the grounds of several mosques and the Femma El Fna souks. Younes was friendly and accommodated a small schedule change with ease. Highly recommend this tour!
Dear Denise, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a magical experience discovering Marrakech with Younes and Ismail.

Warm regards, Asmaa Idar MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.
Had a wonderful tour of Marrakech on our arrival to this beautiful city. We visited Martello gardens, Bahia Palace, Koutoubia Mosque, the Souks and other stops in the city. Our guide Hicham was amazing. So knowledgeable, funny, warm and friendly. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Dear Theresa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your tour was such a great introduction to Marrakech and that you enjoyed discovering the city’s highlights, from the gardens and Bahia Palace to the Koutoubia Mosque and the souks. Just a small clarification: according to our tour records, your guide that day was Younes rather than Hicham. We always like to make sure that our guests’ feedback reaches the correct member of our team, and we will be very happy to share your wonderful comments with Younes. He will be delighted to know that you appreciated his knowledge, sense of humor, warmth, and friendliness, and that he helped make your first experience of Marrakech so memorable. Thank you again for your fantastic recommendation. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back for another wonderful visit to Morocco! Warm regards, Asmaa Idar MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.
Wow! What a fantastic experience we had visiting various different places around Marrakesh. We chose to have a private tour with driver and it was the best decision we made. The driver was quick to meet us at various different points, was friendly and the van was air-conned. Younes was our guide and we were incredibly happy to have him. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and made jokes throughout the tour. He was not pushy at all and gave us time to explore at our own leisure. When going through the souks, we felt more comfortable having the guide with us as we were less pressured and pestered by the stall owner to buy their items. We did go to the herbalist shop that we believe was an affiliation with the tour, however it was a really lovely shop. It’s reputable on Trip advisor and we were not pushed to buy anything. We were shown around and taken to a little area where we found some items to take home. It was not much more expensive than other stalls but the quality seemed better. Overall a fantastic experience and well worth the money. Would recommend to anybody.
Dear Imogen, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that choosing the private tour with a driver made your experience in Marrakech comfortable and enjoyable. We will be sure to share your kind words with both Younes and your driver. Younes will be especially pleased to know that you appreciated his knowledge, friendliness, sense of humor, and the relaxed pace he provided throughout the tour. We’re also very happy to hear that having Younes with you in the souks made you feel more comfortable and allowed you to enjoy the experience without feeling pressured. Regarding the herbalist shop, our guides may recommend reputable places based on their quality and the experience they provide, but there is absolutely no obligation to visit or purchase anything. We’re glad that you enjoyed the visit, found the products interesting and of good quality, and most importantly, felt no pressure to buy. Thank you again for your trust, your kind words, and your recommendation. Knowing that you felt the experience was well worth the money truly means a lot to our entire team. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Marrakech for another memorable experience! Warm regards, Asmaa Idar MDFT By Deep Exp. Ev.

Our walking tour in Marrakech was fantastic! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems in a way that made the experience so enjoyable. We never felt rushed and were able to ask plenty of questions along the way. After the tour, Hamad took us to some of the best shops in the souks, where we found quality local products without feeling pressured. His recommendations made navigating the busy markets so much easier. If you’re visiting Marrakech, I highly recommend this tour for an authentic and memorable experience! Not to mention our driver Mistapha chauffeured us around in a well air conditioned van. Absolutely GREAT!!!

Great way to get a lay of the land in Marrakesh. Our guide, Mohammed, Was very knowledgeable and helped explain the rich history of the city and its people. It was very enlightening and gave us a great springboard for where we wanted to revisit to spend more time. I would only say that it should be made very clear that tickets for the Jardin need to be made well ahead of time and need to be made online. Overall, such a great trip!
