Fantastic day with Ismail - Our companion Ismail proved super nice and helpful. We left Marrakech and he accompanied us to the city leaving us in the port area to visit it independently and to appreciate the beauty of the old town. During the trip Ismail put us all at ease and in the city proved super helpful giving us the opportunity to choose the time of return to Marrakesh. Recommended experience for the beauty of the city

Excellent Guide Who Adapts Trip to Individual Needs. - Esmail is an excellent guide, welcoming and enthusiastic. I was travelling with elderly parents and Esmail adapted our activities to meet their needs. A delicious lunch was provided as well as regular breaks for coffee and comfort breaks. I would not hesitate to recommend Esmail if you are looking for a day away from the bustle of Marrakech. Albeit just a day trip I feel I’ve come away with a real taste of Moroccan culture.
