Yahya was an amazing guide! He called us at the meeting point to ensure we got to the right place. Some of our group were late and he still waited on them. When our group members decided they wanted to go off shopping Yahya gave us an even greater tour he should us parts of the medinah you wouldn’t think existed. He was so knowledgeable and funny which made it so much better!
There was quite a bit of food on this tour, so I couldn't finish my last dish, even though it was amazing! All the food was delicious! The distance travelled wasn't too large, so it's pretty chill. I loved the variety of the places that we tried. I would've prefered to get more background on the food (and the guide to spend a bit less time on their phone).
I had a great shopping and Medina tour with Yaya. He was knowledgeable, easy to spend the day with, and helped me find everything I was looking for—and a few things I wasn’t. He took me to quality, authentic souks where I felt welcome and never rushed. I appreciated that he knew which shops had genuine products and good craftsmanship. Just be prepared—the sales pressure is real! I definitely spent more than I planned because there were so many beautiful things. Even so, I left feeling like I bought quality items and had a really fun experience. I’d definitely recommend Yaya if you want someone who knows the Medina well and can help you find authentic shops.
We had rented a tour through an agency, he was just starting out and was the driver, the private guide, for the 3 of us he said that the agency paid him little and that if we did not give him more money he was not going to come. We did not give it to him because it was already paid for, he left. Yaya who was the driver said that we were not going to be left without a tour and took us to tour everything, he ended up having lunch with us. A star, cheerful, helpful, he likes his job
We were a little unsure about shopping in the Marrakesh souks at first, but meeting Jalal made the whole experience so much easier and more enjoyable. He guided us through the busy markets like a local friend, showing us hidden places and shops we would never have found on our own. Jalal was knowledgeable, patient, and honest. He explained the stories behind the traditional crafts, helped us understand the quality of the products, and gave us great advice without any pressure to buy. What could have been an overwhelming experience turned into one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip. We discovered beautiful Moroccan products, learned more about the local culture, and had a great time along the way. Thank you, Jalal, for making our shopping experience memorable. The tour was absolutely worth our time and money, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakesh.
Yahya was very friendly and took us thru the souks, he is easy going .i trusted him fully I would definitely contact him again
Yaya was an amazing tour guide. It was our first morning in Marrakech and it was the best way to immerse ourselves in the city’s culture. He made our morning the best one in all the trip. We walked around the Medina and he showed us hidden local gems throughout. We loved our time together and definitely recommend him for anything Marrakech related.
This is hands down one of the best tours I've ever had. A true, proper local experience. Yahya is the man! He was very knowledgeable, patient with the group, and knew every nook and cranny of the Medina like the back of his hand, which made the experience a lot smoother and more fun. He gave us the full Marrakesh experience, from navigating the streets of the Medina to the stalls selling handcrafted leather goods and colourful textiles, to the spice market and a lot more. We felt no pressure to buy anything, but if we liked something, Yahya gave us bargaining tips and helped us get things for the right price. My favorite part of the tour was meeting local artisans and watching them create traditional Moroccan crafts. It gave me a real appreciation for the skill and culture behind the products. The tour also included stops at hidden alleys and quieter corners of the medina that I would never have discovered on my own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Marrakesh. Whether you're interested in shopping, photography, or learning about Moroccan culture, this experience is well worth it. It was organised, informative, and one of the most memorable parts of my trip.
Going again n will book another tour with yayha lofti. All amazing
My tour guide was very nice and informative. He educated me on the culture. He showed me around the souk and putting me to the right direction of the things. I was looking forward to purchase. next time I come back to Morocco. I will definitely be booking with him again.
