Imad was a brilliant tour guide. We would never have been able to navigate the Souk without his expert local knowledge. He took us to see hidden gems and captivated us with stories and facts about the different sections of the sprawling market.

My guide, Mohamed, was excellent! He was born and raised in the Marrakech Medina, so he clearly knew all of its ins and outs. He was very friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and helpful in supporting my particular interests (it’s useful to tell your guide up front what you are and are not looking for). In addition to visiting souks, Mohamed showed me where the best street food is and we shared a delicious barbecue lunch. Highly recommended!

Our guide Mohamed was so friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to great shops for everything we wanted to see and there was no pressure to buy. He also took lots of pictures for us and brought us to an excellent street food spot for lunch! Highly recommend!

Mohammed was a friendly, knowledgeable guide. We learned so much and had a wonderful time, treated to the best vendors and expertise.

Fantastic place to grab a bargain , very busy , with motor bikes just need wits about you , other than that great , some like to barter others done , always okay if you say no .

Mohammed is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the souks. He is quickly responsive to any questions you may have and is a very friendly fellow on tour! If you wish just to tour, he will take you to cobblers, leather workshops, metal smiths, and any other artisan craft you can think of. If you want to shop for a specific product he knows the most reputable dealers deep in the souks. There are thousands of merchants here and it would take many days to search wisely. I think it is money well spent to tour with Mohammed as he will take you to areas and merchants that are not on a path that a tourist would typically travel. Highly recommended!

I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the souks but might be intimidated by the crowds and attention. We opted for the private tour so that we could tailor our trip, our guide was super amenable and was able to quickly forge a plan. Being with a tour you are not approached as much, are able to take more photos (without charge) ensure purchases are fairly priced and more importantly you get to see craftsmanship that is tucked away only local knowledge can bring. Even if you have no intention of buying anything worth the time to immerse yourself comfortably.

Abdul was an excellent guide but he got slowed down by our group staying to haggle at multiple stops. Plan to come back at leisure if you have project buys. Easy to get lost in souks, note the little signs at corners and try to use restaurants as place markers (many stalls look similar). Learned how to spot a quality baboush, also got a good lunch tip. Saw a community bakery and hammam fire.

Mohamed was amazing, couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Took so many photos and saw so many amazing things, we wouldn’t have even seen half of it if it wasn’t for Mohamed! He is a must for the souks!

Mohammed was incredible! Such a knowledgeable friendly guide, who made our day at the souks feel authentic and fun! He was so happy to tell us all about the cultures and traditions and I really don’t think our day would have been nearly as successful had he not been there to guide us through and get the most out of our experience. Thanks so much Mohammed! Highly recommend

Nice to have a friendly and informative tour around the back alleys of the souks! I would recommend visiting the more popular indoor area after the tour as it was nice having a wonder around there also!

Mohamed was absolutely great. We spent three and a half hours with him. He gave us the full souk experience and really wanted to showcase and help celebrate the best of Moroccan culture. Mohamed is extremely thoughtful tour guide, asking upfront whether there was anything in particular we wanted to see and crafting the tour around that. He took us away from the tourist traps and to the quieter bits of the souks where artisans spoke to us in detail about their craft. Seeing the artisans hand make leather slippers and having some authentic Moroccan cuisine in the heart of the souks were a real highlight. Would throughly recommend taking a private tour with Mohamed. We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon and couldn’t have asked for any more.

Mohamed was a great guide, showing us parts of the Souks we would bever have found by ourselves. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to several craftsmen who were happy to talk to us. We were left at a restaurant for lunch- it was delicious. We would never have found it by ourselves. A couple of days later we were trying to re-trace our steps o buy from a pottery shop we saw. Mohammed was great and messaged me with directions! We are very glad we booked a private tour. We were a group of 4 and feel that with many more people we would not have the same experience.

We had a private tour of the souks with Mohamed Reda Benabad. Mohamed was great. He took us off the beaten track and away from the crowds. At the same time, he told us about local history. He was good company - a great tour. Thank you.

Booked this to have a private tour guide take us around the souk as it was just myself and daughter travelling and we wanted to have someone to accompany us. Tour guide Ali was lovely but he ran us off our feet with a very clear preorganized agenda to take us to 5 "special" shops to see how they hand made wool, metal, carpets, clothes and herbal products. It was VERY obvious that he had pre-made deals with the shop owners to bring tourists in and trap us in uncomfortable talks and presentations. Wasted a lot of precious time doing this. Literally all we wanted was a local to walk us around the Medina at our own pace, where we felt comfortable having someone with 2 females, not be rushed around on an agenda to places we didn't want to see. To anyone traveling solo or with children - after experiencing it ourselves, we would have no problems going back alone as felt very safe and don't think there is a need for a guide, unless you have an interest in the history and want to learn more. On a positive note, the tour guide were excellent in working with me when I needed to change the date and time, very responsive with quick replies.
