Rashid was incredibly knowledgeable and seemed to have connections with everyone in the souks! He was very accommodating of my passion for photography. The tour led me to areas of the souks I wouldn’t have felt confident exploring on my own, providing a much deeper and richer experience of Marrakesh. Thank you, Rashid!

The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the tour itself was very engaging. However, my only disappointment came when I asked for a place to buy gifts, and he took me to a store where I noticed he received a commission. The first salesperson also attempted to overcharge me significantly for the items.

Highly overpriced for the experience offered. The tour felt rushed, and the guide jumped from topic to topic without coherence. I even question the accuracy of the limited information shared about Marrakech's history. Overall, nothing remarkable—better to skip it.
