Great experience

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).

Your with someone who knows!!!!

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.

The pleasure of traveling with Yaya

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

Very amazing

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.

Medina walking tour

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.

A proper local experience.

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.

Amazing food tour

We had an amazing experience on the Marrakech 10 Tastings + Dinner food tour, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. If you're looking for a way to experience the city's food, culture, and history all in one evening, this tour is absolutely worth it. Our guide, Yaya, was exceptional from start to finish. He was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made everyone in the group feel comfortable right away. His passion for Marrakech and its culinary traditions really stood out. Rather than simply taking us from one stop to another, he shared fascinating stories about the city's history, local customs, spices, and the significance of the dishes we were tasting. His explanations added so much depth to the experience and helped us appreciate Moroccan cuisine on a whole new level. The food itself was outstanding. Every stop offered something different, from freshly baked local bread and savory street food to traditional Moroccan specialties, sweet pastries, and refreshing drinks. The portions were generous, and by the end of the tour we were completely satisfied. The final dinner was delicious, beautifully prepared, and a perfect way to finish the evening. Everything felt authentic, and it was clear that the tour focuses on places locals genuinely enjoy rather than tourist-oriented restaurants. Walking through the bustling medina with Yaya was another highlight. He navigated the lively streets with ease and pointed out hidden alleys, local markets, and family-run businesses that we would never have discovered on our own. He happily answered every question, offered great recommendations for the rest of our stay, and even shared tips about shopping, bargaining, and other local experiences. What impressed us most was how personal the tour felt. Yaya took the time to get to know everyone in the group, remembered our names, and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and genuine kindness made the evening feel less like a guided tour and more like exploring Marrakech with a knowledgeable local friend. This tour offers incredible value considering the amount of food, the variety of tastings, and the cultural insight you receive. It is perfect for first-time visitors as well as anyone who wants to discover the authentic flavors of Marrakech beyond the usual tourist spots. A huge thank you to Yaya for making this such a memorable experience. We left with full stomachs, a deeper appreciation for Moroccan culture, and wonderful memories that we'll always cherish. We would highly recommend the Marrakech 10 Tastings + Dinner food tour, especially if you're lucky enough to have Yaya as your guide. Five stars without hesitation!
