Good tour! - Ishmael was a funny and knowledgeable guide. The tour itself covered the medina and focused half on practical advice and half on history.

Fantastic few hours in the media - Loved the tour with Ismael today. Marrakech is one of my favourite cities in the world, but it’s far richer when you see the place with a guide it gives a deeper context. I found some different areas I hadn’t been to before which was nice. I will 100% do another tour with this company when I’m back to Morocco. I had just finished a long tour with intrepid which was great but was lacking in Marrakech knowledge so was really happy to tick this off at the end of the trip.
