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

Elhoussaine is a gentleman, great host and rightly proud of Berber culture. We spent a great afternoon in Marrakech, spanning a great mix of sights, culture, the soukh and wonderful tea, cookies and pancake. Highly recommended!A unique afternoon in Marrakech

Elhoussaine is very knowledgable, fun and patient. We were a groupmof 3 and had a wonderful tour of the old medina with Elhoussaine. He was happy to take stops, not pushy at all to buy in the souks, which we appreciated. Highly recommeded.

We had an absolutely amazing time on this local food tour in Marrakesh! From the very beginning, Elhoussaine was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about sharing the city's rich culinary culture. He took us through hidden alleyways and vibrant markets we would have never found on our own, introducing us to delicious street food, traditional Moroccan dishes, and even some sweet treats to finish it off. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the personal touch— Elhoussaine went above and beyond by helping us book another tour to the beautiful Ourika Valley. It wasn’t part of the original plan, but he made the process so easy and seamless, and that day trip turned out to be just as memorable.Amazing experience

Elhoussaine was a great guide and introduction to Marrakesh. He listened to what we wanted and made sure we got the most from our tour. We were a group of 4 Adults, a 8 year old and a 3 year old and he was really patient with all the requests for stops, shopping, snack breaks etc. Overall a great tour and a really lovely guide! Friendly anf informative guide

I’d highly recommend Elhoussaine’s tour - and I just wish we’d booked it for the first day of our holiday as it was the perfect way to discover hidden bits of the old town. Elhoussaine took us to see the local areas beyond the obvious tourist streets. We tried food we wouldn’t have been brave enough to taste (sheep’s head etc) on our own, and ventured into cafes we’d just have walked past. We loved it all. But even more than the food we enjoyed an adventure with a charming, friendly, interesting guide. Elhoussaine shared personal stories and facts about Morocco and its people, history and culture as we walked. He was so kind in bringing a gluten free pancake for my husband so he didn’t miss out on anything, and he made sure we were all happy and engaged throughout. A very memorable and enjoyable few hours. Thank you!Great experience

Fabulous afternoon in Marrakesh. It was lovely to explore parts of the souk we would have never found normally. Also some great places for us to try later in our trip. Many thanks xxFabulous Afternoon!

We had an fantastic three-hour city tour through Marrakesh in the evening. Our guide led us through the lively streets, hidden alleys, bustling souks, and vibrant market squares of the city. Along the way, we sampled a wide variety of local foods — everything from street snacks to traditional dishes — and received fascinating explanations about each one. What made the experience truly special was how connected our guide was with the people and places around us. It felt like he knew everyone in the city! We got to meet locals, learn about the culture firsthand, and really dive into the heart of Marrakesh. By the end of the evening, we were absolutely full — we kept eating because everything was so delicious! It was a truly unique and fun way to explore the city, and we’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a deeper, tastier look into Marrakesh.An unforgettable food & culture tour

We had a great night with Houssaine. Houssaine was extremely knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Houssaine was able to alter the tour when my young son started to tire and took us too some truly local gems. Highly recommended.A lovely evening.

Mohamed was very nice and smiley and speaks multiple languages. He started the tour off with some insights into Morocco and Marrakesh in old medina which was interesting. We also saw a lot of the souks and the metal part of Marrakesh was our favourite part, however after being taken to lots of touristy shops which were very expensive we got a bit annoyed. We were taken to a shop where they sell spices and the total was €80, we only bought a few bags of 100g. Other shops were selling spices for 1/3 or even 1/2 the price. We were offered towards the end of the tour to taste some olives, which isn’t really food as most of the group didn’t eat olives. Even though the tour ad mentioned food, olives weren’t what we were expecting after travelling all morning and day. Overall he was kind and friendly, but the shops he will take you to are very expensive and almost felt like a tourist trap. I think for what we payed he could have told us more about how things were made/history behind what we saw.Friendly but a took us to expensive shops

Excellent overview of the medina area of Marrakech, with special emphasis on the 16th century synagogue. Well worth doing.

Got stuffed with great food, and got us outside the usual tourist streets. Made 6/7 stops, everything from breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as desert and more. Ended the day in a blissful food coma. Our tour guide wasn't Elhoussaine, though - it was Mohammed, who said he works with Elhoussaine. Mohammed had great vibes and was very friendly, but his English was quite limited. Would have liked to ask more specific questions.Great vibes, tasty food, not Elhoussaine

Mohammed weet veel van de stad en heeft ons echt de ‘hidden gems’ laten zien: leuke pleinen, verborgen Riads, de ambachtwerkers diep in de Souks en de oudste hammam van de stad. Het was echt een beleving en we hebben een hele leuke middag gehad. Dankjewel!Fantastische tour!

We were very excited to go visit the souks in Marrakesh so we booked a guided tour. Our guide was Mohamed. He met us promptly at our designated meeting point. Mohamed was very friendly, very well spoken with perfect English & excellent company so we knew we were in good hands. He took us first on a tour outside the Mosque explaining all of its history which was very interesting. Then onto the souks where Mohamed told us all about the Arabic culture & life in Marrakesh & had very interesting g stories. Then Mohamed brought us for Tea around the medina & showed us his tea pouring skills while telling us more interesting stories. Then we were ready for dinner so he showed us a wonderful restraint that we loved which we will now book for New Years Eve. When we finished dinner he escorted us in our taxi back to our hotel outside the city & by the end of the few hours that we spent with him we felt we had made a new best friend. We would highly recommend Mohamed for anyone looking for a great tour with a fun, relaxed easy going guide.Fantastic Guide !!!

He took us to the areas in Marrakesh that we wouldn’t have found ourselves. He knows his stuff. His English is good, if not perfect, and he advised us on where to eat afterwards as well. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide

What a delightful man. He even collected us from our Riad rather than us find the meet point. He is very knowledgable and proud of Morocco in genral and his tour of Marrakesh was just right for 2.5 hours. It gave us confidence for the following days too. Worth every moment Recommend this as a start to your trip

Our guide Elhoussaine led us through the souks of Marrakesh. It was a great success. Elhoussiane knows Marrakesh well and told great stories about the customs and habits of its inhabitants. It was nice not only to get standard information, but also to walk the uncommon paths. We can highly recommend Elhoussaine as a guide!Great guide!

It was lovely to be shown around parts of the souk that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Try typical Morrocan food and drink and have it explained. Our Guide Elhoussaine was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Looked after us well including the vegetarians. Thank you!Enjoyable and Fascinating

Elhoussaine stelde zelf voor om ons aan onze Riad af te komen halen (en bracht ons na de avond ook terug). Op weg naar onze eerste stop hadden we leuke gesprekjes en merkten we dat de “click” er was. Het is een zeer vriendelijke jongeman die duidelijk van gidsen houdt. Hij paste zijn programma aan aan onze interesses. Zeer fijn om je zo geapprecieerd te voelen als klant. Aanrader!Zeer leuke aangename avond!

We enjoyed our food tasting tour. Our guide took us to very interesting areas, some of which didn’t have any other tourists. The food was interesting with lots of little tastings. We enjoyed engaging with our guide, finding out a bit about his life and the city. His English was very good! Eat traditional Moroccan food

I booked a traditional Moroccan meal experience with Houssine and it was the most incredible evening I had in Marrakech, Everything was taken care of. I was picked up in a TukTuk and taken to the restaurant so there was no need to worry about finding the location. Houseine even came with me to restaurant to make sure everything was ok which was really reassuring. The restaurant was located with in a Riad which was so beautiful. He showed me around the premises and took me up onto the terrace which had amazing views of Marrakech. I was welcomed to a 4 course meal which was absolutely delicious and definitely the best I had eaten in Marrakech. Once the meal was finished the transport home was all arranged back to my Riad which was great. The whole Evening was a brilliant Experience and Houseine was so helpful and friendly. He also gave me great advice on other places to visit within Marrakech. I think he has great knowledge of the city and know exactly which places to go. Evening Meal experience
