A walk through the medina Great guide very relaxed and informative through the narrow streets of the Medina and souks. It was hot but the guide made sure we stopped off in the shade to offer more info on the area.

Walking tour around the souks. Salem our guide was brilliant! So knowledgeable and took time to explain everything that we saw. Meet up was easy. Trip took around 4 1/2 hours. Saw everything the souks had to offer. The trip to the herbalist was great. So informative. Went back to the souls the day after and felt much more confident and comfortable getting around. Highly recommend!

What a great way to enjoy Marrakech! This city tour is not to be missed! We took this tour on the morning after arriving the night before. It provided us with a good orientation of the city, along with detailed explanation of Bahia Palace. Experiencing the various sections of the sucks was helpful for future navigation. The guide was knowledgeable and made for a wonderful experience !

A great guide made a difference! We really enjoyed learning about history, culture, and people of Morocco from this tour with Sallam. Sallam was very knowledgeable and engaged with every person in the group. We were very pleased with the tour because it was more than checking out touristy places. We highly recommend Sallam.

A very worthwhile excursion! We booked this tour through Tripadvisor, and we were very glad that we had done so. There is so much to see around there but without a guide you do not really understand what you're looking at, and our guide, Abdel, certainly knew his stuff giving us the background and history to both Marrakech and Marocco before setting off and showing us around the sites in that area. The markets were best described as incredible, with the most amazing colours everywhere you looked, and filled too with a lot of strange traffic going through them, like horses and carts, motorbikes, and barrows being pushed along by the miriad of workers; Abdel did very well keeping us all safe at all times! At the end of our tour he also made sure that we then knew how to get around the markets without a guide and without getting lost!

Excellent tour of the city Excellent and informative tour of Marrakesh Abdel kept us informed of the meeting point and was a brilliant guide to the city. I’d recommend this to anyone visiting who is interested in the history of the city or who wants to be shown the sites.
