“It was great. It was a little bit difficult to get the guide to start with because there were sooo many guides looking for the right group and vise versa. Khalid was great, and gave so much information, we learned a lot and got everything we were looking for. He spoke amazing English and explained so much of the history and culture. I asked a lot of questions and he answered them for me. Thank you so much!”

Explore Marrakech’s Koutoubia, Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs, souks, and Jemaa el Fna with a licensed guide in three hours.
“Tour not recommended!!!! We paid for a tour and didn't see what was written in the program. We only saw the Jewish quarter and the souks, while the Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs, which were included in the tour, were not visited by the guide. He also took us to see a very small museum/palace where a private party was being prepared, with about 200 people working there, so we couldn't even pass through and there was a lot of confusion. In addition to stopping repeatedly to talk to friends, the guide made us go into a carpet shop for 40 minutes. They should refund my money because not only…”
Review of Marrakech’s 3-hour Palmeraie quad bike tour, with Berber villages, mint tea, safety tips, pricing, and practical advice.
“Crew was very nice, given liners for the helmets, tea stop was nice but nothing special. Blowing dust off everyone’s clothing at the end with an air compressor was a super nice touch - and felt great in the heat. Any mom’s worried about going - don’t! We are over 50, our boys loved it and my wife enjoyed her first time on a quad bike immensely! Shuttle driver from Marrakech was super nice and had an air conditioned van for six of us. We arranged at last minute after 9:30pm night before and all was handled smoothly. (Strongly recommend installing WhatsApp if you don’t have it for coordinating with…”

“We met chef Hassan who was very experienced and knowledgeable. There was only myself and husband and were guided through the dishes we were going to prepare and cook. We were encouraged to ask questions and enjoyed chopping, adding the spices, marinating and cooking the dishes under the guidance from Hassan. We learned so much about traditional Moroccan cooking and were surprised the time it took us to prepare the marinated chicken, vegetable tagine and the three side dishes. It was exciting to watch Hassan and see the meal come together. We were then escorted to a beautiful table in the Riad garden and served the dishes we had prepared…”
