The "Highlights & Hidden Gems of Marrakech" tour was an impressive encounter with a guide who not only knows the history and culture of Morocco, but also knows how to present it in a vivid and entertaining way like no other! After a tour of the city's major sights, Redouan took us to meet the people of Marrakech, who still preserve the culture and traditions of times gone by and whom we would never have come across without his expert guidance. Redouan exudes a great sense of calm and dignity, shows off the treasures of his city with justifiable pride and is always responsive to the wishes of his guests. We were deeply impressed by his presentation of the city and its formative inhabitants. Redouan would be our guide of choice for our next trip. Thank you very much for your great tour and for the time you took for us!Very impressive tour, extraordinary guide!

I had the absolute BEST time with Ouidad exploring Marrakech in my first day in town. She is so sweet, so bubbly, and so knowledgable! She was like my Moroccan mama! She showed me historic sites, off-the-beaten path parts of the old city, and great shopping spots in the medina. As a solo woman traveler, it was so nice to have her show me the ropes of how to navigate the city safely and she also took some very cute pictures of me around town so I’ll never forget my magical time in Marrakech! Thank you, Ouidad!!! ❤️An Unbelievable, Tailored Tour Experience

We had the best day with Elhoussaine! He showed us so many beautiful places and gave us in-depth context as to their history and place within Moroccan culture. Having him take us through the Bahia palace was a huge highlight. Had we taken ourselves through we wouldn’t have had the background knowledge he had and likely missed a lot of what makes it such an interesting place. He also took us to the best coffee we had our entire time in Marrakech. A very friendly and informative guy who was a pleasure to hang out with.The best! Great company and knowledgeable

Redouan was a very knowledgeable guide who knew Marrakech extremely well. From the main tourist attractions to the hidden gems he seemed to be a font of knowledge on everything. He took us into hidden sections of the souk and down hidden residential passages and to the beautiful Madrasa Ben Youssef. A very educational and enjoyable morning, thank you.

We really enjoyed our walk with Rachid. He was knowledgeable and friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed exploring quieter areas of the Medina. Excellent suggestions for food stop! One suggestion for future would be to discuss our options before starting the walk to give us the opportunity to consider them eg visiting Bahia Palace. We will definitely recommend Rachid. Thank you very much!Walking in the Medina with Rachid

Redouan was so kind and responsive to our needs. One of our party had mobility issues and he was really careful with her. He did exactly what we wanted and needed in this heat. He was punctual, knowledgeable and accommodating. He got us into the Bahia Palace with no queueing, and even loaned us the money to get in when my bank card wouldn’t let me get cash 😩 Only one review on here is less than 4 stars, the majority are 5 and we would echo that. Redouan was fantastic Responsive

12 May 2025

Our experience with Omar was just perfect for what we were looking for at that point of our trip. He is very relaxed and chill and from the first 5 minutes he makes you feel like you know him for a long time. Speaks perfect English and it is clear that he knows Marrakech like the back of his hand. This wasn’t just a fixed tour that he talked and we followed. He listened to what we wanted and was very flexible with the schedule and tour, because it was our first day at the city and we just wanted to get a general feeling of it. Also, he was very endearing and playful with our to young kids, which made the whole experience very relaxing and easy. Our only regret was that we did not book him for an extra tour regarding food tasting, but we will do that the next time we visit his beautiful city. We definitely recommend Omar for any kind of guided tour around Marrakech. Relaxed, knowledgable and fun!

Omar was excellent. Very knowledgeable and did a great job answering all of our many questions. He was excellent with our 3 little kids. Our 3-year-old asked to see him after we left! 3 hrs was enough for our kiddos (they said they enjoyed the tour too!), but I would’ve loved to spend more time touring with him. Book a private tour with Omar, you won’t be disappointed! Book with Omar!

(About local Hassan)

7 May 2025

Hassan was an incredible and friendly guide. After a few minutes we already left the touristy parts and felt like we entered a different world - one where only locals have access to. And with Hassan we always felt very safe. We visited shops, artisan studios and productions and were hesitant to buy - but were never pressured this was really important for us. After the tour has ended and we went alone on our way home, we walked through the big market and were surprised to spot all the fakes they explained to us on the tour. So if you want to buy real stuff I'd say it's best to go with a local guide directly to the studios and get the real things for the same, if not lower price! An experience well worth!

(About local Hassan)

30 April 2025

We were 2 couples and we booked Hassan for our first day in Marrakech. We are SO glad we did. It was SO interesting, and a great intro to what can be an overwhelming city. He promised that we would see the "secrets" of Marrakech and he did not lie. We truly saw neighbourhoods and sights that most tourists would never see. I think it was one of those tours that you enjoy at the time, but appreciate even more when you explore the city on your own after.... you look back and really "get" what you saw! My only criticism, if I had to make one, is that we were not expecting the shopping stops - carpets, shoes, spices, etc. But as the week progressed, we noticed that most walking tours in the Medina have this component, so it is what it is. In the end, it was such a positive experience - Hassan was so animated and so enthusiastic about his city! If we'd had more time, we probably would have booked a second tour with him to explore another component of Marrakech.Wonderful introduction to the city!

(About local Redouan)

30 April 2025

Exploring Marrakech with Redouan was an unforgettable experience that brought the city to life in a truly authentic way. From the very beginning, it was clear that our guide possessed a deep and passionate knowledge of Moroccan history. He wove rich stories of dynasties, cultural traditions, and architectural marvels as we wandered through the labyrinthine streets of the medina. Every alley and archway had a story, and he made sure we understood the historical context that shaped modern-day Marrakech. One of the true highlights was our visit to the artisan quarters. Unlike more commercial tours, this one took us deep into areas where real craftsmanship thrives. We watched blacksmiths at work, weavers creating intricate textiles, and woodworkers carving delicate designs—all while our guide explained the centuries-old techniques and the cultural importance behind each craft. His personal connections with the artisans gave us an intimate glimpse into their world, and we felt truly welcomed. Beyond the historical insights and special access, what stood out most was Redouan’s passion and patience. He let us take our time to really enjoy our experience of Marrakech. Whether it was sipping special spiced sand coffee, enjoying our traditional meal with a great view over the city or hearing the call to prayer echo over the rooftops. This tour wasn’t just sightseeing—it was a deep, immersive encounter with Marrakech. If you want to experience the city with someone who lives and breathes its culture and history with passion, this is the way to do it. Highly recommended. Redouan, thank you so much!An Unforgettable Tour Through Marrakech

What a fantastic guide Redouan is. Very knowledgeable about Moroccan history and all areas of the country, not only Marrakech. He took us to the old city souks which we never would have found on our own. We went on a Tuk-tuk through the narrowest streets and alleyways (felt like something out of Indiana Jones) and showed us where the locals shop, Hammam etc. What a fun trip and excellent introduction to Marrakech!

Hassan was a fantastic guide and completely met our expectations in terms of a local guide. He took us to areas that were not on the typical tourist route, areas in which he grew up. We met the local baker providing a bread oven for the community, and many other sights that provided an insight into real life in Marrakech. The Medina is overwhelming but in a really positive way and to have some share the knowledge and experience help massively - yes we shopped tooFantastic Insight into Marrakech

We spent a great three hours with Redouan recently. He showed us some of the main highlights of the Medina as well as a couple of hidden gems. But not only that, he also helped us meander through some of the souks, helped us with bartering and gave us an outline of the long and colourful history of Marrakesh. Highly recommended for anyone visiting this intriguing city. We found it was very useful to do on our second day in the city to help us get our bearings.A great introduction to the Medina

We finished with a delicious drink and snack and a short visit to a Berber pharmacy where they were super informative and there was no pressure to buy. In fact, we decided not to buy anything and it was not at all awkward. A really lovely morning and great introduction to Marrakech.Fantastic Introduction to Marrakesh

We booked our highlight tour with Adil for our first day in Marrakech. Adil was really happy, friendly and engaged us all (including our 15 year old) with his knowledge and facts about his city. Adil’s tour took in Bahia Palace (extra entrance fee which we knew at time of booking) which really brought the place to life, and gave us so much more than if we’d visited the palace alone. Having been to Marrakech before, I would have liked to have seen some more of the hidden areas in the souks, but only a small point. I would recommend a tour with Adil, especially if you’ve got children or teenagers to entertain. Thank you Adil - it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you.Great highlights of Marrakech

My wife and I made a last minute booking for a historical and hidden gems tour of Marrakech with Redouan for our last afternoon / evening in the city, and it was unforgettable! Redouan shared some history of the city and its quarters and he took us to some smaller / quieter places away from the main routes of the Medina / souks. If you are up for it, he also can take you to some higher quality vendors, co-operatives, and shops where the owners are more upfront with their wares and show you how they construct items. The highlight was our visit to Madrasa Ben Youssef...we were rushing to get there before they closed and we had just missed the closure when Redouan saw the curator on the back of a moped. The curator instructed the moped driver to take us back and open the breathtaking school just for us. We had a lovely dinner above the main square overlooking the main mosque...Redouan called ahead to ensure they had some certain dishes he thought we would try. The Mayor was a fabulous host, and we highly recommend him! The Mayor of Marrakech
