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).

It was an interesting tour with our guide Radouan, who showed us so much more than just the usual sights. Our walk through the Medina to get to the site gave him the chance to explain the history of Marrakech to us. I highly recommend it! Philippe.

The guide is exceptionally good, knowledgeable and professional. Except for what is included in the madrasa, he also introduced a lot of information along the way to the destination point. He guided us through the secret and interesting routes during which we got to know much about the culture and the local life and food. It is fantastic ! Highly recommended this guide, Ihoussin!
