Excellent historical tour of Marrakesh - Great tour and informative guide who knew his stuff and was happy to explain the history behind many of the things we saw and experienced. Ismail was courteous and fri madly and made us feel very at ease whilst navigating the soil and the historical sites. Well worth the money and time if you are new to Marrakesh.

Fantastic Eight Tour Marrakech with Ismail - The private tour hosted by Ismail Dabbab was a quintessential experience. Our tour guide was Ismail and his charisma was as bright as the épices in the souks we visited. Ismail’s made the history of Marrakech come alive in an interesting and fun way. His desire to deliver a top notch experience was evident as our 3 hour tour turned into a 5 hour adventure! We visited the Herbalism and received an in depth explanation of Argan Oil, epices, teas and more. We also saw the oldest women only Hammam. Finally Ismail took us to a number of shops that had fantastic wares and he assisted in negotiating the best prices. Overall we had a fantastic day and would recommend Ismail to anyone looking for a private tour of Marrakech.

An unforgettable experience - It was a good experience. Everything started very well, Ismail very friendly and attentive. However, I think he got tired at the end and we practically saw the school on our own. He took us with local sellers, I recommend NOT to buy and come back later or go prepared with more than 100 euros since everything is expensive for example in the wool market. Not by going with a guide it will be cheaper. I also recommend being very careful, especially if you go in a group or as a couple since motorcycles, bicycles and cars have no respect for pedestrians since they pass through the market alleys. PD: Take around 40 Euros per person for the tickets. A lot of people and caos but it’s part of the experience. The duration of the tour is the one announced by 3 to 4 hors

Disappointing and useless - We were 16 minutes late but there visit was really not pleasant. It was necessary to walk very fast and follow the guide like sheep without real pleasure. He did the bare minimum.

Deep Historical Information - some cautions! - The tour guide was good. We wanted a historical tour that would take us through the major sites. Only really got to see two, the main Mosque, Koutoubia Mosque, and Ben Youssef Medersa the historic Islamic college. We ended the tour after 2.5 hrs. Ismail was very kind. However, there were a few disappointing things. When we got to the mosque, he spent 20 min on the history of dynasties etc and would have continued until we asked to move on and see the foundation pillars of the destroyed older mosque. He would start his lecture by asking a question, ‘do you know x’ or ‘what are the x’ - don’t ask me a question,, this is why I’m on a tour to learn not be quizzes on things I don’t know. But the most disappointing thing, and know better, having traveled over 3 Million miles all over the world, never ever go to a shop a tour guide takes you to. They receive kickbacks and you will be significantly overpaying. We were taken to a very touristy Herbalist. We enjoyed the presentation of different spices and for both cooking and medicinal uses but were significantly overcharged. I knew better and should have walked away instead of buying. That set the tone for the rest of the tour. I had asked to go to a souk for locals but wasn’t taken to one. So you’ll likely have a great experience if you tell Ismail to not quiz you, and limit the overviews to summary information, and show local souls but do not introduce me to any store owners.
