“Not up to our expectations”
Hi! Unfortunately the tour was not like the description. The guide sent me a message at 20:20 the night before regarding the pick-up. But there was a problem with the WIFI at the hotel so I saw this message just before 9:00. We did not know this place was so we had to get a taxi. The guide, Mustapha, started by excusing his French and said he spoke Franglais. I speak French and English but my friend only French and the both of us sometimes had problems understanding him. He really has to improve both of these languages. This is not presentable. He did not tell us much, mostly when we asked questions. After the hike up to a tiny waterfall, it was lunchtime. We went to a very nice restaurant with great views to the Atlas mountains. The food was good. BUT in the description of this tour it is indicated that we will have lunch in the guide's family home in a small Berber village. I had decided to book this special tour (rather than somebody else's) because of this upcoming experience. After lunch we drove straight to Marrakech. We asked the driver if he could drop us of closer to our hotel - but no he could not because his boss had booked him on another tour in a short time. So I'm sorry to say that this tour was far away from our expectations. And for this price - I'm almost speechless. Some days after this tour, I met some people from my country who had been on similar guided tours for only 20 dollars. But I want to be clear on one thing - both the driver and the guide were extremely nice and helpful. They took very good care of us and all our needs and did everything we asked for. I'm really sorry for this negative review. Best regards, Ásrún Lára

“Perfect day!”
Adil was a delightful guide, just perfect for us. The tour group we were with had already taken us to see all the major sights but we wanted a private tour of the souks, not just the regular run through of cheap, schlocky merchandise. Adil delivered. He took us to some lovely places where we found just what we were looking for. He even helped with the negotiating. Very personable and helpful.

Capture Marrakech with a local private tour guide and gain unique insights, off the beaten path adventures, safety and comfort for you and your loved ones.
Hiring a private, local guide in Marrakech can transform a simple visit into an unforgettable, customized adventure. One of the primary benefits is the level of safety and security a knowledgeable guide provides. Navigating the bustling maze of the Medina can be overwhelming for first-time visitors. A guide ensures you explore iconic spots like Jemaa el-Fnaa square and around the Koutoubia Mosque with ease, while avoiding potential scams or unsafe areas, making your experience both safe and enjoyable.
Local tour guides also introduce you to hidden gems and local experiences, such as discovering a tucked-away riad or enjoying an authentic meal at a local’s favorite spot, offering a deeper connection to the culture and essence of Marrakech.
We believe tour guides in Marrakech are necessary if you want to save time (not waste time getting lost, getting confused), understand local culture and keep away from scams and low quality/inauthentic souvenirs.
Guides are also essential for those who want to stay safe in places like the Medina and Jamaa el-Fnaa square, and local guides help you gain access to off the beaten path adventures in the city. Therefore, we strongly recommend getting a Marrakech local guide to make your tour smooth, time saving, and enjoyable.
Our customizable Marrakech tours range from around 19-80 USD per person, to 50-340 USD per group, depending on activities, meal plans, attraction fees and transport arrangements. To see how much your ideal Marrakech private tour would cost, talk to a local guide about your interests.
3–4 days are generally considered sufficient to explore Marrakech thoroughly. This timeframe allows you to visit major attractions such as the Medina, Koutoubia Mosque, Jardin Majorelle, and take day trips to nearby destinations like the Atlas Mountains or the Agafay Desert.
Yes, Marrakech is a walkable city, particularly within the Medina where cars are restricted. For a more intimate experience, the square, and the narrow streets and alleyways are best explored on foot. However, navigating the Medina can be challenging due to its maze-like layout, so having a map or a local guide can be very helpful.
The best months to visit Marrakech is during the spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather is pleasant and temperatures are moderate. During these periods, you can comfortably explore the city's outdoor attractions and enjoy activities without the extreme heat of summer or the chill of winter. Take note, March to May are the peak tourist months, so expect larger crowds.
Yes, you can drink alcohol in Marrakech, but it is regulated and usually consumed in specific venues such as hotels, bars, and restaurants catering to tourists. You can drink alcohol at a licensed restaurant/venue.
Remember, it's important to be respectful of local customs and laws, which restrict public consumption of alcohol. Some popular places to enjoy a drink include upscale hotels and licensed bars in the city.
