“we absolutely loved the Marrakesh tour of the Sykes. We found our guide really knowledgeable and he took us to some amazing places that we would never have found on our own but particularly like going into the ancient suits the Diamond market the metal work market and then we also went to a fabulous rug place.

Good length tour, not too long but with tips on where to return to if looking for something more specific to buy. Introductions to several of the local people/traders who were all very friendly.

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 private walking tour, with custom sights, local guides, Medina access, pricing, shopping concerns, and practical tips.
“On a private tour, you would expect the guide to show you the main sights and provide a well-rounded experience. Instead, most of the time was spent visiting overpriced shops where it was clear the guide was receiving a kickback. We specifically asked for more historical sites rather than shopping, but were only taken to the school and the secret gardens. For a six-hour tour at the price we paid, we expected much more.”

Review of the Imlil Valley day trip from Marrakech, with Atlas Mountain views, Berber villages, a guided walk, local lunch, and practical tips.
“An Unexpected Gem – Highly Recommended! We originally chose this waterfall trip because the description was written in such hilariously poor English that it caught our eye — we figured if nothing else, it would make for a good story. But it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip! From start to finish, everything was extremely well organized. Our driver was punctual, friendly, and navigated the winding roads with confidence and care. Once we arrived, our walking guide took over — knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the area, they made the hike to the falls both informative and fun. And then there was the…”
