Highlights
- Jardin Majorelle - The lovely and picturesque floral Jardin Majorelle, once owned and developed by Yves Saint Laurent, is the first stop on your Private City Tour. The garden was developed by a passionate plant collector and is now one of Marrakech’s most visited attractions, and with good reason. You’ll be able to roam around this cool sanctuary among trees and exotic plants with dreamy origins, pools loaded with water lilies and lotus blooms, and vibrantly colored earthen walls. Allow yourself to relax and appreciate the gentle smell filling the air as you escape the frenzied pace of the Red City!

Great day with Ismail - My wife and I met our guide Ismail at the previously agreed point at Cafe de France. Ismael, with no rush, walked us through the main landmarks in Medina as detailed in the website. Ismail has great knowledge, patience and sense of humor, even help me bargain the picture with the Viper. As a plus, he knows exactly de best photo spots and takes good pictures. Absolutely recommended.

The best way to experience Marrakech! Would recommend to anyone! - Cannot say enough good things about this tour! We only had 48 hours in Marrakech, and this was a great way to see all the sights. Ismail was our fantastic tour guide, he gave us so much background and history and knew all the best places in the souks. He made sure we had a wonderful and unique experience, and always made sure to stop and take some great photos for us! Also, being able to skip the lines at some of the major sites is worth the price of this tour alone. Plus traveling in a private air conditioned van without having to deal with haggling for taxis is a major plus. 5 stars, you will not regret booking this tour!

Highly recommended to fit in top sites - Great tour with Hassan who met us at our Riad which was a huge bonus as we’d landed the night before and didn’t know our way around the maze of streets in the medina. He tailored the itinerary for us so we saw the right number of sites for us without feeling rushed. In the souks Hassan found the artisans that we were interested in and protected us from any pushy selling. He helped us with fast pass for Jardin majorelle and Medresa school so we bypassed all of the queues on an ordinary ticket, which saved us so much time in our day. We opted for the driver tour, rather than all on foot, so that also helped to fit plenty into the day. Hassan was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and his English is perfect. Great driver (Khalid), too.

Such a perfect day - We aren't the most confident of travellers but felt at ease with our guide Ismail. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot, not just about the history of the places we went but also how to navigate Marrakech and interact with the people. We particularly enjoyed our time in the Jardin Majorelle and exploring the souks. Ismail spoke perfect English and looked after us, even escorting us back to the shuttle bus.

Perfect mixture of structure and freedom in a tour - Hassan was an amazing tour guide. He made sure to ask us about our priorities for the tour before we started. This ensured that we were able to do everything we wanted. He also introduced us to many artisans that we never would have met on our own. It is very easy to get lost walking through the streets of Marrakech. We would not have been able to find all of the souls we were looking for with his guidance. He was very personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

Magnificent tour! - Our day tour of Marrakesh was absolutely amazing. Hassan is an excellent tour guide, so friendly and attentive, a great sense of humour - we felt comfortable and safe at all times. He shared so much knowledge about the historical sites, and the culture within the city and beyond in Marrakesh. We could not fault our day, it was perfect and we wish we could have stayed longer to see more - 100% recommend!!

I bought a private tour and I didn’t get one. - At the end we visited only 4 places, not everything listed on the tour. In addition, when we asked him for recommendations he didn’t give any, not for attractions around neither for places to eat. Anything.
We paid for a private tour, and at the end we had to do most of things by ourselves without the explanations/history of the tour.
On top of all of that… for the very few things he mentioned we realized that they are not sure. He mentioned the population of berber is 5%, and later one in another tour the guide mentioned 50 %, then in another tour the guide mentioned 63%.
