CoupleVerified bookingMar 20265/5Mar 20255/5Came here solo, honestly a bit nervous about getting lost but the guide totally put me at ease. He knew all the tiny alleyways—felt like a maze at times! LOVED the stop at the spice market, the smells were wild. Our guide shared random little stories about Marrakesh that made everything stick in my brain (like, how the door knockers have different sounds for men/women—who knew?). Tour was about 3 hours, chill pace, and yes, it did get a bit crowded in spots but nothing tooooo crazy. Bring water! Would def recommend if ur new to the city.Mar 20254/5We did the tour as a couple. Found the guide super friendly, but we were in a group of 12 so sometimes it was tricky to hear everything he said. He made sure nobody got left behind in the souks tho. Highlight for me was visiting the old bakery, smelled unreal. A few stalls were pushy but the guide handled it. Good way to see the Medina if you’re short on time.Feb 20253/5Tbh, the tour was okay but our group felt too big (15 ppl?) and it got hard to keep up. Guide was patient but sometimes I felt like just another tourist in the crowd. Liked seeing the tanners at work though, and we got some good shopping tips. Next time I’d go for a smaller group.
