Traveler reviews
Great trip but drive too long
We had a great time in Marrakesh. Our guide was very knowledgeable and great. The only issue was the transportation. Although the driver was good he drove 20km below speed limit. Our drive could have been an hour shorter 😩😩
Marrakesh
This was an excellent tour of a truly amazing historical city. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained the history and significance of the sites in a very engaging way. The driver was also very nice and professional, ensuring a smooth and comfortable trip throughout the day. It was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend it to others.
Nice Marachesh day trip.
Nice and easy 2 hour drive to and from Marachesh from Casablanca. The Marachesh guide throughout the souk walk was great. It's a very, very large souk so, probably, best to tell the guide in advance how long a walk you want in advance, eg 3 hrs or 4. Nice choice for a late lunch.
Marvelous Marrakech
Great day in Marrakech— prompt and excellent driving from Hamza. And a wonderful, informative tour of Marrakech from Ider (plus, an excellent lunch recommendation).
HIGHLY RECOMMEND MOHAMMED L and ABDUL!
Our Driver Mohammed L and our guide Abdul were very kind, efficient and very friendly. They were very accommodating in customizing our visit to Marrakech and kept us safe and happy. We had a wonderful time in Marrakech because of them! We highly recommend them!
