Gwen
We had a great time today with Mouhssine, our guide. We chose to do a tour of the Medina which took in the Bahia Palace and the Medersa Ben Youssef as well as the souks. I'm glad we did this tour early in our trip as we now have a better idea of how to navigate the Medina. We had plenty of time at each stop and although there was a good amount of walking involved, it was at an easy pace and we had plenty time to look around. Would strongly recommend this tour!!
Alice
Fantastic tour, kept the whole family interested and we learnt so much about the city and its history. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Marrakesh for the first time. Great guide - very knowledgeable and kind.
Robert
a superb afternoon tour!! The Madrassa Ben Youssef and the Secret Garden are well worth a visit and being able to skip the line was definitely a benefit. overall this tour was excellent value for money and would highly recommend it.
Nadege
The tour was great. I did it on my first day to get to know the area. I highly recommend it. Our guide was brilliant and has a great sense of humour. He showed us around and told us about the history of the historical monuments. As a solo traveler it was great for him to take several great pictures of me with the monuments for memories.
