half-day walking tour excursion through bustling Marrakech begins after meeting your guide in front of the Café de France, an iconic landmark on Marrakech’s main square. Over the course of the day, you’ll discover the majesty and vibrancy of Marrakech’s medina, beginning with a jaunt across the Jemaa el-Fnaa square to the Koutobia Mosque. Gaze at the mosque’s massive minaret, the largest in Marrakech, as your expert guide informs you of the stunning building’s history.
Onwards, you’ll head towards the Saadian Tombs, sealed for centuries until their rediscovery in 1917. Marvel at the ornate carvings in a Hispano-Moorish style that frame the crypts of the 16-century royal family. Afterwards, head to the equally ornate Bahia Palace, a 19th-century royal dwelling intended to be the most splendid palace of its time. Gaze at the elaborately-painted ceilings, beautifully-manicured gardens replete with fruit trees, and elaborate stucco patterns adorning almost every surface of the building.

200 plus photos should give you an idea of how stunningly beautiful this city is as well as cheap. Local people very helpful and friendly.
Airport a bit of a nightmare extremely busy on arrival with long queues at passport control ended up paying to fast track where they will only accept cash euros or pounds.

Brilliant half-day tour of Marrakesh by a fantastic guide who showed us some hidden gems and made the tour fun and interesting. The palaces were gorgeous and the stories of the people who occupied them were fascinating. It was a great opportunity to see the highlights of Marrakesh without getting lost so I would recommend doing this in the first few days of a trip as Marrakesh can be a little intimidating with all its twists and turns (though the locals are very helpful). I think if I had tried doing this alone without a guide I would not have had any of the background information on these places and I would have gotten lost and only seen a few places- so for the price its absolutely worth it. The guide had a wonderful sense of humour and answered any questions we had. I also really appreciated he pointed me in the direction of an ATM when I was unable to find one at the end of the trip (the ATMS are everywhere I just don't have eyes in my head apparently). 10/10.

We did a tour with Shafiq. It was an outstanding way to see the historical sites and learn about the history. Shafiq had a wealth of knowledge to share and the 3+ hours flew by before we knew it. Highly recommend the tour and Shafiq.

Mohammed was our guide who was very knowledgeable. Really enjoyed seeing the Bahia Palace however did not go into the Saadian Tombs as very busy.
Would definitely recommend this tour although we were taken into a herbalist shop near the end of the tour and “encouraged “ to purchase oils/cosmetics.

This is a great way to see the sights of Marrakech and our guide Hakim was able to make them come alive with all the historical details and stories. Not just about the main sights but about the city in general as we walked around. My wife has mobility difficulties and was in a wheelchair. I can't say enough about how good Hakim was in assisting us in navigating our way around the Bahia palace with its single and double steps. He was above and beyond what we might have expected. A great experience
