We had a great first tour of the main sites with our guide Rachid. I really appreciated his clear explanations about the different sites and the Medina. It was really nice not having to wait in line to buy admission tickets to the sites. I wasn’t as keen on the stop at the cosmetics and spice shop (hence the 4-star rating).

Elhoussine was the PERFECT guide. Literally couldn't have asked for a better day. He went above and beyond to get us to as much as possible and really immerse us in the Moroccan culture. He clearly knows his way around Marrakech and is extraordinarily knowledgeable about Morrocco and his hometown of Marrakech. I would rate him 10 stars if I could! We are already planning to bring our children back to explore more with Elhoussine.

Brahim was a very kind and thoughtful tour guide. You can truly feel that he loves what he does and is passionate about it. He has a very calm, pleasant presence. Even though English is not our first language, I was able to understand him very well. He took the time to explain things and allowed us to really take in and experience everything at our own pace. It was a very positive encounter – he is a genuinely lovely person with a calm and confident manner.
