Hi, Lachcen was an excellent guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, explained everything in great detail, and shared all kinds of interesting information with us throughout the experience. He was kind, always smiling, and constantly checking to make sure everyone was doing well and enjoying the tour. I would definitely recommend him, especially to anyone looking for a friendly and informative guide.

An interesting an informative trip around some of the important sights in Marrakesh. Radouan was a great guide who was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of everything we saw. As I have poor mobility I contacted him & he kindly arranged to meet us at the site to save me having to walk too far. He was considerate of this all the way round, finding me places to sit as he was giving his talk. Thank you Radouan

The tour guide was polite, but everything took sooo long...seeing the sights didn't take long, but on the way from one to the next we either stood for 30 minutes or were barely dragging our feet...it was too drawn-out.

It is ok but it would be more interesting if the guide could tell and introduce us more about the history and the culture. But in anyway, he is very helpful and kind as well! Recommended.

It was a wonderful tour with Ahmed, our guide, who has an incredible wealth of knowledge—and not just about the history of Marrakech. A tour like this is best taken at the beginning of your stay to better understand what life in Marrakech is like in the days that follow.
