Elhoussaine was an excellent tour guide and very informative during our tour of Marrakesh. His insight into the history and culture of this vibrant city was invaluable. I would definitely recommend him to others.Excellent Tour Guide

Great experience with a local guide. Great way to get to know the hidden gems and learn about local culture. In addition to food we learn a lot about the culture in Marrakech. Knowledgeable guide

Me and my family had an amazing tour, he was so friendly and accommodating that we had a young baby. He knows so much about Marrakech and morocco and we have definitely learnt a lot from him. He even bought my baby a cute pair of shoes ☺️Friendly and knowledgeable guide

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.

We ordered and paid for a guided tour with a private guide but had to share suddenly with another family not speaking the same language as we.Dissapointing

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!

We tasted so many foods, saw so much of the old city and Elhoussaine shared such interesting insider knowledge of the city and country. Elhoussaine has such a comfortable and welcoming manner, he put my daughter and I at ease. I would highly recommend! Amazing food tour of Marrakech!

We have a lovely afternoon with Elhoussein. He was extremely knowledgable and friendly, and took us to some fascinating places we would never have tried. He was very considerate and courteous and wonderfully enthusiastic about Marrakesh. Highly recommended. Great food tour

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.
