A very quick march through the souks, essentially only stopping where a sales commission was likely to be expected. There was no consideration for slightly handicapped participants.
Mohamed was an excellent guide who tailored our shopping expedition to what we wanted to see. Could recommend him to any traveller to marrakech.

An excellent way to explore the souks. We’d have never have seen so much on our own. Lovely to interact with locals too.

A helpful guide took us through the labyrinth that is the medina. We saw weavers, bakers, leatherworkers and traditional medicine doctors at work who welcomed us to share their work and lives. A good way to get acquainted with the area (but don't be fooled - you will still get lost when you go it alone).
Hello dear friend, Thank you for sharing your for sharing your experience regarding the Medina and shopping in the souks. I will be happy to meet you next time. Kind regards, Mohammed
Amazing way to explore the area. You won‘t get lost in the Souks and get to see lovely rooftops. Superb english and a sense of humour made this to a great experience after a day on my own in the Medina yesterday, I felt so much more comfortable today. I enjoyed taking pictures without getting lost. Good recommendations for all shopping I wanted to do.
Hello dear friends, Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your private shopping tour. I will be happy to meet you next time. Kind regards, Mohammed
We had a fantastic tour even though we only had a couple of hours to visit. It was well worth the money and peace of mind. Out guide was very informative. We were keep very safe as it is like a maze to get around. We experienced the market at there best and didn't feel under any pressure. I would highly recommend this tour!!! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed it take in the sights smell and atmosphere and extreme knowledge of the guide.
We have just finished our tour and it was one of the greatest things during our trip! Mohamed is an amazing guide and he told us everything and even more about Marrakech, Morocco and other things. Very highly recommend!!!
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback and sharing your experience. I will be happy to greet you once again. Kind regards, Marrakech guide tours
I’m a solo traveller and found this tour very interesting and safe! Mohammed contacted me before the tour to make sure I knew where to meet him. He gave so much information the whole way through and showed me the hidden gems of marrakech!! 100% would recommend:)
The walk through the soul is interesting but the guide's main objective is to take you to stores he works with to shop. Our guide was almost a bully about filling out the review. He wanted a positive review so good me what to write. He also wanted to read it before I posted it to insure it was positive and had met search words in it. He also kept touching me on my upper arms and once tried to put his arm around me. No Muslim man would ever do this to a Muslim woman. (I was dressed in a very conservative manner - even had on 3/4 length shirt sleeves and button at the neck shirt collar.) It's a good overview of the souk but don't feel you have to but - prices were not that good.
Hello, We did not mean to disappoint you . We usually ask our guests for their feedback, and most of people are happy to do it. I was excited about it because you were the first guest to book this tour. Most guests on previous booking are happy booking our tours. It is a relaxed tour customized to our guest's interests. We hope to serve you better next time. Kind regards, Marrakech guide tours
