Our travel experience in Marrakech was unforgettable, and we owe much of that to our outstanding guide, Redouan. From the moment we met, he exuded a warm and welcoming friendliness that immediately made us feel welcome.
He not only showed us the famous sights such as Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, the Koutoubia Mosque, Le Jardin Secret or the Medersa Ben Youssef, but also took us to hidden gems and local insider tips. His in-depth knowledge of Marrakech's history, culture and traditions was impressive and he shared it in a captivating and easy to understand way.
Particularly remarkable was his ability to cater to our individual wishes and needs. Whether we wanted to stay longer in one place, try a special dish or learn more about the local craftsmanship, he fulfilled our every wish with a smile and without hesitation.
Our guide was not only professional and extremely knowledgeable, but also an incredibly friendly and warm person who knew how to show us the beauty and charm of Marrakech in a very special way. Thanks to his dedication and passion for his work, we were able to experience Marrakech in a way that we will remember for a long time to come.
We can highly recommend Redouan and thank him from the bottom of our hearts for the unforgettable memories we were able to collect through his excellent guidance.
❤️Perfect guided tour of Marrakech

When visiting a city as vibrant and storied as Marrakech, the difference between a good experience and an unforgettable one often comes down to your guide. Enter Omar, an exceptional city guide whose knowledge, charm, and wisdom transformed my visit into a rich tapestry of history, culture, and personal connection. Spending five hours on a private tour with him was nothing short of extraordinary.
From the very start, Omar’s warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. With a radiant smile and an infectious enthusiasm for his city, he greeted me like an old friend and instantly made me feel like I was in the best of hands. His genuine passion for Marrakech was apparent in every word, gesture, and story he shared throughout our time together.
Omar’s knowledge of the city is nothing short of encyclopedic, yet he presents it in a way that is engaging, relatable, and, above all, human. He guided me through the labyrinthine streets of the Medina, pointing out not just the landmarks but also the hidden gems that most tourists would overlook. From the bustling souks, where the air is thick with the aroma of spices and leather, to the serene beauty of the Bahia Palace, Omar’s deep understanding of Marrakech’s history and culture added layers of meaning to every sight.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Omar’s tour was his storytelling. He wove together tales of Marrakech’s past and present with such vivid detail that it felt like stepping into a living history book. He shared stories of the city’s foundation, its importance as a trade hub, and its transformation into the cultural epicenter it is today. These weren’t dry, textbook accounts; they were lively narratives that painted a picture of the people, politics, and passion that have shaped Marrakech over the centuries.
Omar’s wisdom truly belies his years. Despite his youthful energy, he has an old soul’s insight into the complexities of life and culture. His ability to connect the past with the present was particularly striking. For instance, while walking through the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter, he spoke not only of its historical significance but also of the efforts to preserve its legacy in today’s rapidly modernizing world. His reflections on the coexistence of tradition and progress left me with a deeper appreciation for the city’s resilience and adaptability.
In addition to the historical and cultural highlights, Omar introduced me to some truly breathtaking spots that I would have never discovered on my own. From hidden courtyards to vibrant artisan workshops, he had a knack for revealing the soul of the city in unexpected places. The way he interacted with locals along the way—always with respect and warmth—showed his genuine connection to the community, adding an authentic layer to the experience.
The five hours I spent with Omar flew by, yet every moment felt rich with discovery. By the end of the tour, I felt not only more connected to Marrakech but also more inspired by the stories, wisdom, and spirit Omar shared with me.
For anyone visiting Marrakech, a tour with Omar is an absolute must. His deep knowledge, charming personality, and storytelling mastery make him more than just a guide; he becomes a bridge to the heart of this incredible city. Omar doesn’t just show you Marrakech—he makes you fall in love with it.A Journey Through Time and Culture

We booked this tour for our first day in the city in the hope of getting some sort of orientation. Mohamed was very informative about both Marrakesh and the history of the area. He took us to parts of the souks and medina which we would have struggled to find ourselves and left us feeling we had a good idea of how to negotiate the mazes by our selves. We would highly recommend him.Marrakesh Day Tour with Mohamed

My friend and I booked this personal tour with Redouan because it was our first time in Marrakesh and we wanted to get a first impression and overview of this vibrant city. We preferred a route that was not one of those taken by most of the tourists and Redouan chose it wisely. We could enjoy Ben Youssef Medersa without having too many other tourists around us, we wandered in the Souks and could watch the locals while doing their daily jobs, selling their traditional products; it was a memoriable experience and we felt very well looked after by Redouan. Instead of the busy Majorelle Garden our guide that spoke very well English brought us to The Secret Garden and the visit was worthwhile. We could take a break from the busy streets we had walked and enjoy the plants and well maintained garden. Redouan took us on a ride with the Tuktuk through the narrow alley and this was adventurous and big fun! We had a laugh! We felt very safe during the 5,5 hours and Redouan answered all our questions and this was very informative. When we come back to Marrakesh we will contact him again and whish him all the best and thank him for the good job he did!

He showed us around the Souks, taught us the art of haggling, gave really interesting information on history and architecture.
He was an excellent guide who is very proud to show you around his city. And was great company throughout our time with him.

We really enjoyed our 5 tastings evening with Omar. He is an easy going, charming young man who we liked a lot! And his English is so good! We also liked that he took us tasting stuff that wasn't obvious and really enjoyed his selection and advise. For our teenage son it was also fun with a guide that was a bit closer in age than his parents. We can highly recommend Omar if you want to get to know Marrakech from a different angle than you would have on your own.Great fun with charming Omar

Redouan is a very friendly man full of local knowledge. He certainly enlightened us in more ways than one as we discussed everything from history to religion and crafts walking narrow alleyways in the medina we would never have seen on our own. It was very interesting to observe local craftsmen doing their work. It was our first day in Marrakech and a perfect way to start our visit. Redouan recommended a local rooftop restaurant for lunch after our tour who had the local dish we had been shown how were made earlier and it was a perfect place for us to enjoy great food and let all the impressions from our hours with Redouan sink in. We would have given Redouan full score if we didn't find that it was at times a bit difficult to understand his English. Interesting start of our stay

We arrived at the meeting point 5 minutes early and although the place was quite spacious and there weren't many people, we were getting restless waiting for our guide Jaafar, who was a few minutes late. However, when we saw a familiar person from the photo seen on Withlocals walking towards us with a calm step, we immediately calmed down. Jaafar told us what we would do for those couple of hours, what we would see, and led the four of us through the narrow and winding streets of the Medina deep into the local hustle and bustle of sellers, buyers, workers, and artisans. Jaafar traveled at a calm but confident pace, turning around from time to time to check if we were following him. From time to time, he would stop and tell us something interesting about one or another place in the Medina. While traveling through the streets of the Medina among the stalls, it was clear that he knew almost everyone here and almost everyone knew him. We had a great time in the Medina, learned a lot and saw even more. A great excursion that I recommend to others.Private medina walk

We had a wonderful introduction to Marrakech with Omar. He's very kind, knowledgeable, and happily answered all of our questions. He was wonderful with our 10 year old and made sure she was also enjoying the experience and learning things. His tour is a really good mix of making sure we saw the things that "tourists should see" as well as taking us off the beaten path. We saw areas of the Medina that we never would have found on our own (and probably couldn't find again if we tried!) We would definitely book another tour with Omar if we find ourselves back in Marrakech. Fabulous Tour in Marrakech

We booked “off the beaten path” with Adil our very morning in Marrakech and found it really helpful to get a feel for the city and where things are located and how to get around. Adil took us to a few places we had requested and catered to our agenda. We liked it so much we booked an evening tour with Adil. Thank you so much Adil for making our first day in Morocco memorable!

Omar was a fantastic guide around Marrakech.
He gave us a tour of his city on our first evening and it was the perfect introduction to the incredible sights and sounds of a unique place.
Not one who usually relishes walking, our five year old son also loved the tour, and Omar was brilliant with him, keeping him entertained throughout.
We were treated to some of Omar’s favourite local spots, and his insights gave us the perfect start to a wonderful holiday in Marrakech - we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
