“Marrakech medina tour”

Abdellatif was an awesome guide. He was kind and very knowledgeable with his knowledge and experience coming from one who grew up in the medina. If you're looking for a guide who will help you to learn about the history and culture of the medina and to explore beyond what tourists typically experience then I highly recommend Abdellatif as a guide.

“Couldn't have been happier”

Abdellatif arrived early to Riad Karmela and patiently waited as we finished breakfast and got ready. We then spent the day walking 4.1 miles around Marrakesh and seeing the main themes/sites. He was kind enough to walk us back to the Riad as imo, it is a confusing place to walk around. He spoke with clarity, spent the correct amount of time at each site and was patient while the kids asked questions. I have no hesitation recommending him to you.

Mr.Bryan and his family were interested in history. I found their questions very interesting.He has a smart family.His children were eager to know more and more about Marrakech.Their questions proved that their visit to Marrakech was not only for vacation but also for educational purposes. Thank you very much for choosing Marrakech for your holidays.Is it possible for Mr. Bryan to put his review in my personal profile that he can find in my business card I gave him.This will help me to get more work. Thanks a lot! Marrakech Tour Guide/Abdellatif.

“Jill Biden's tour guide ”

Spent a wonderful day with Abdellatif as our tour guide in Marrakech. Abdellatif was very knowledgeable about the city's rich history and culture. It felt like traveling back in time when he explained the story behind each of Marakech's amazing monuments. Abdellatif insisted to take us to Ben Youssef school (not a typical Marrakech itinerary) and I'm so thankful he did, as it turned out to be an art piece (probably my favorite archeological site in Morocco). It is there, BTW that's where I saw a picture of Abdellatif alongside Jill Biden hung at the entrance. Abdellatif was also very attentive to our needs as a family with 3 children. He also gave great recommendations for restaurants and shops. He took us to various shops, we saved their locations, and came back the very next day. Highly recommended.
