Sayeed was amazing! - We were met by Sayeed in the main square for a private walking tour with two friends. Whilst we had some ideas about what we wanted to see, Sayeed made some excellent suggestions of things to see on the way. We got so much done in the 3 hours including straight to the front of the queue at the Bahia Palace as we were with a registered city guide ☺️ Sayeed (sorry if that is spelt wrong!) was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went, as well as the history of the city and we enjoyed his insights into the developing culture of the city too. We would highly recommend this tour - and ask for Sayeed!! ☺️

The perfect introduction to Marrakech - We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Mouhssine. The pace was just right and his historical knowledge is excellent. Mouhssine’s passion for his city and his culture shone through. He was very approachable and it felt as if we were being shown round by a friend rather than someone we had just met. During our half day tour we visited some famous sites and also some secret spots that we would not have discovered on our own. We learned so much that we booked a food tour for the next day. This tour is the perfect introduction to Marrakech.

Cultural deep dive - My husband and I had an amazing experience with Mouhssine, who provided a rich historical, cultural, and experiential tour. Mouhssine also provided helpful recommendations for meals and connected us with highly skilled craftsmen in the Medina. Would highly recommend taking the tour with Mouhssine.

A very impressive half day (3hr) walking tour of Marrakech! - The walking tour was excellent. Our guide - Sara - took us off the beaten track with unexpected delights such as a community oven and separately their bakery among more conventional (and no less interesting) stops in the textile, leather and other niche areas. The pace was just right and we stopped for respite at a lovely rooftop cafe for teas, coffee and cake. We did this tour at the start of our trip and it gave us our bearings for the next few days and some good food, restaurant and cultural recommendations. All this was done with such enthusiasm for her home city and without any pressure to purchase items as we strolled around. Recommended!

Thanks to our friend and guide Mouhssine we have gotten to know the city, the different guilds, the culture, the history, the traditions, the food...
