Fantastic way to explore Marrakech landmarks, culture and history - With young kids, it was a great way of seeing all the most popular sights in the morning away from the busy times. We paid extra for the guide who was fantastic, learnt so much about the city and culture. When asked, he took us to the best spice shop near the main square where we purchased sealed spices for the journey home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Marrakech in half a day and for families.

Great time in Marrakesh! - Our guide Ismee was excellent. Started the tour in the main market where we met up with our vehicle. He gave us some background history of Marrekesh as we headed to the Yves St. Laurent Gardens. At the Jardins he gave us a bit of the history and then let us explore on our own. From there we went to the Bahia Palace and he was a wealth of info on this place. then returned back to the market and made arrangements for our driver to take us to the train station in Marrakesh, as we had tickets to take us to Casablanca.

Fascinating insight into local Marrakesh culture and history - Mubarak was an engaging and enthusiastic guide, knowledgeable about the history and anthropology of Moroccan life, especially Marrakech. The tour was a fascinating insight into the local culture which added hugely to our visit to the city. Whilst we have really enjoyed our visit, the three hours spent with Mubarak on the tour hugely added to that enjoyment. Well worth the time and cost.
