“Highly engaging, informative and varied tour”
We could not initially find Abderrazzak, but he had sent a stand-in, whose name we have not remembered and it was a fabulous 4 hours by the time we reached the end. Apologies our guide was excellent. He was well-informed, spoke excellent English and took account of our interests. We quickly learnt about the history of Morocco and the dynasties which have ruled this part of North Africa. He did not ask us to support specific stalls (some guides we hear get commission for doing this), but did allow us to see various souks and to talk to the craftsmen and owners. We learnt an enormous amount which had not been read in a guide book by us in advance and really set us up for the remaining 3 days to navigate this great city. Would encourage all to find the copper souk and to try spiced Saharan coffee. Highly recommend the tour.
