Marrakech 3-Hour Walking Tour

Our guide, Fouad, was exceptional! Being a native Moroccan, his understanding of the culture and history was outstanding. It was a fantastic tour, and we highly recommend him.

We joined the tour on August 26th, 2018, at 9 am, and our guide, along with the driver, arrived on time. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us, making it a great experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about the history of Marrakech’s key attractions. We visited Koutoubia Mosque but couldn’t enter since it’s only open during prayer times. However, the gardens were lovely. Next, we explored the Saadian Tombs, and then Bahia Palace, which was absolutely beautiful and full of color. The tour also included visits to authentic stores selling argan oils, jewelry, and clothing. To end the day, we went to Jemaa El Fnaa market square, which was enjoyable. The guide suggested we return at night to see it in full swing (and he was right – the city really comes alive after dark!). Our guide went above and beyond to help us find a place to eat, even though he doesn’t usually work on Sundays. This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the highlights of Marrakech in one day.

We had a wonderful day exploring the Atlas Mountains and visiting the Berber villages. One of the highlights was enjoying a delicious tangine, cooked by the villagers, while dining on the mountain terrace. A special thank you to Jamal, who was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout the entire trip.

The tour around the medina was fantastic, taking us to historical landmarks and giving us a true sense of the medina and souk atmosphere. While I did spend a fair amount of money, every bit of it was worth it.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide was incredibly friendly and well-informed. We had an enjoyable experience throughout.

Helpful? Yes

The ride was both enjoyable and informative, with the perfect amount of time. Our guide was excellent, speaking flawless Italian, and shared a wealth of information about the local history and culture. The ride through the souk was fun, and we were never pressured to buy anything. The only shop we visited was a pharmacy offering quality cosmetic products. Everything was great, though it might have been even better if the tour had started a bit later, allowing us to enjoy the square even more.

Mustapha was our guide, and he spoke excellent German. Unfortunately, he seemed a bit disorganized at times. The night before, we were on our own in the Médina and likely would have missed a lot if we hadn’t actively asked for more information. It would have been great if he had suggested some lesser-known spots for tourists. A 3-hour tour of the Médina doesn’t really require a guide in my opinion.

Helpful? Yes

Abdul was very kind and helpful, though the only issue was that he spoke a bit too quickly.

We were picked up from the hotel on time and taken to the sights in a small Mercedes van. Our guide spoke excellent German, and no questions were left unanswered. We learned not only about the landmarks but also a lot about the country and its people. At the end of the tour, the guide took us to Medina Herbal since we wanted to buy saffron. The advice there was great, with some of it given in German. We also bought Argan oil, cactus oil, and creams. However, looking back, we can say that the prices were quite high. We probably should have negotiated the prices there.

Our guide Younes spent nearly 4 hours with us. As a resident of Marrakech, he was able to share a lot of valuable information about the local traditions, customs, and great places to visit. The tour also included a bus that took us to locations further away. Overall, he was a dedicated and friendly guide, making it a perfect start to our first day in Marrakech.

Helpful? Yes

The tour guide was a very genuine person with an entertaining and insightful knowledge of both the history and local culture. However, there were moments when it seemed like he had his own preferences about the places he wanted to take us. We had to assert ourselves at times to ensure we visited the spots we were interested in.

Helpful? Yes

A great way to explore the city, especially since it can be a bit overwhelming. The guide was excellent, spoke good English, and was both friendly and very informative. However, it was disappointing to be taken to several shops we hadn’t asked to visit, where there was an expectation to make purchases. Also, be firm if you don’t want lunch—our guide insisted on ordering at a restaurant that wasn't very good. In fact, he even placed an order for us from a menu we didn’t choose. This unfortunately soured the end of an otherwise enjoyable trip.

Helpful? Yes

A visit you definitely shouldn't miss. The guide was a bit "unconventional," but still very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this if you're looking to really dive into the history of Marrakech.

Helpful? Yes

Fouad, our guide, was very friendly, well-organized, and punctual. He took his time, providing us with a tour that lasted well over 3 hours. The combination of walking and driving worked perfectly, as the car helped us travel between key locations, and then we had plenty of time to walk and explore the important sites. I highly recommend this tour—it was a fantastic experience, with no complaints at all.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was excellent. However, it would have been helpful if it had been made clear in advance that this was a group tour, as we had initially booked a private tour for our family.
