We were lucky to have Mustapha as our guide to Marakesh. Not only did he have indepth knowledge of the city, but was also able to discuss day to day activities regarding both the Muslim world and the country of Morocco allowing us to get a greater understanding of their lifestyle. His humour and friendly personality made the tour most enjoyable. Thank You Mustapha!
Mustapha was an incredibly knowledgeable, personable, adaptable, and all-round wonderful guide that I, without a doubt, highly recommend! Due to last-minute changes, I went to Marrakech as a solo female traveller and as a result wanted an idea of my surroundings on my first full day. Mustapha was very flexible about the sites I was interested in seeing, so I informed him ahead of time and he agreed to meet me at my riad as I was unsure of how to get to the meeting spot. Not only did I get to see everything I was keen on visiting, he took me to surprising and fun places, had nothing but fascinating facts to tell, and, unexpected bonus, admission fees were waivered as part of the tour. Most importantly, I felt relieved to know that I could ask him any questions on how to stay safe, what prices you should expect, and any other important tips and tricks for the rest of my trip. It was also very helpful that he could take picturesque photos of me with my phone! If I ever go back, I would ask for his help again in a heartbeat.
Mustapha was a wonderful guide to our group, I don't know how our tripe would have turned out without him .We had an excelent experience with Mustapha in Marrakech .He was incredibly knowledgreable engaging,and always willing to answer questions and interact with the group ,his passion for the city and it's history really made the tour special ,I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Marrakech and looking for an informative and enjoyable experience, thank you very much MUSTAPHA
Thank you so much for this amazing review! Mustapha was thrilled to guide your group and share the history of Marrakech with you all. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you back to Morocco one day!
Mustapha guided us through the Medina today on an informed and very interesting tour. His knowledge of the city and its history was very clear, as was his ability to find a quiet corner to give an opportunity for us to hear about each location and its significance. We were led across open markets, through the winding laneways of the Medina, and into unique areas and shops, all while avoiding most of the crowds of the day. If you are interested in a tour provided by a mature, professional guide, who has a deep knowledge of the history of Morocco, Mustapha is a good choice.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! It was an absolute pleasure guiding you through the Medina today. I always aim to show my guests the authentic heart of Marrakech, including those hidden, quieter corners where you can truly connect with the history and atmosphere away from the bustling crowds. I am glad you enjoyed exploring the winding laneways and unique artisan shops with me. Thank you for your kind words about my professionalism and knowledge—it means a lot. I hope the rest of your time in Morocco is fantastic!
Mustapha was a fantastic tour guide and a great representative of Morocco. Well spoken, flexible to our needs as we progressed thru the day, chock full of interesting stories about the sites we were visiting. The little things were great! Who knew a seemingly simple door could contain so much information? We toured the souk on our own the day before but he brought it to life and took us to sections we did not know existed.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! It was a true pleasure spending the day with you and being your guide. I always love it when guests have already explored a bit on their own, because it makes it even more exciting to show you the hidden layers of the souks and the sections you might otherwise miss! I am glad you enjoyed the stories behind the details—Moroccan architecture, right down to the history written on our traditional doors, has so many secrets to tell. Thank you for your kind words about my flexibility and for allowing me to represent Morocco for you. I wish you wonderful travels ahead!
Our party of 6 adults booked the 1/2 day tour. Our guide, Mustapha was knowledgeable, friendly, and had great patience with those of us who were easily distracted with taking photos and looking at crafts. He made great suggestions for lunch, further shopping, and gave a great overview of all places we visited. We would highly recommend him.
Mustapha was a very kind and attentive guide. Full of cultural insight and historical information about the city. We learned and saw so much during our walk around the Medina with him! It was a wonderful experience!
Mustapha was a great tour guide. The tour was very interesting and fun experience. He spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable the area and the history. I would highly recommend him.
We loved our half day tour with Mustapha. He communicated well before the trip, had excellent knowledge, and took us to great, authentic places in the Medina in a very safe manner. An awesome half day and reasonably priced too.
Super fun punctual and informative in a conversational friendly way! Made our introduction to Marrakech excellent. Thank You Mustafa!
