Most Wonderful Tour Guide - We had the most wonderful morning with Tahar showing us all around the old town Medina of this amazing city. Highly recommended and we learned so much that you could never forget on your own.

Get to know the culture of Marrakech with Tahar - Tahar is one of the best guides we have ever had across many countries visited. His knowledge,passion and personality make for a truly inspiring and memorable day. He brought to life the culture, history and ethics of the people of Marrakech and we learnt so much from him. He was adaptable to our requests to find different places around the city and personalise the tour for what we wanted. It was an afternoon to remember and cherish. Highly recommend you book this tour early in your visit to familiarise yourself with this bustling city. Thank you so much Tahar.

FCJ is the best tour guide - He was excellent and the tour was very informative, helpful and brilliant. The history of Marrakech was explained, first mosque building, royal family, historic buildings including Ben Medersa Youssef school. We were taken to the homeopathy that sells spice and other organic medicines. He assisted us to get around the Marrakech market which can be very challenging to get around as a tourist. We were connected to our desert tour guides where we rode camels and did quad biking. He also referred us to a place where we bought the best lamb we ever eaten in our life. This was the best tour and I would recommend it to anyone who really wants to understand Marrakech and the Moroccan people.

Lovely tour by a local - Tahar was an excellent tour guide! He gave many unique historical facts and is very passionate about all things Morocco! He is also very patient, the tour didn't feel rushed at all, and he was enthusiastic to receive and answer questions! An excellent communicator leading up to our meeting and during the tour. I learned a lot and would recommend.

Extraordinary - Tahar was our guide on an incredible tour of Marrakech. Without rushing and always very kind, Tahar explained every detail with great patience and dedication. My family and I loved the tour because we learned all about the city and its customs. The tour is very comprehensive and we were taken in a very comfortable van.

Great Tour and Experience of Marrakech - Our half-day tour with Tahar was excellent. His deep knowledge of the Marrakech region and its rich history made the experience both educational and engaging. He began by asking what we wanted to see, ensuring the tour was tailored to our interests. If we return to Marrakech, we would hire him again without hesitation.

The warmest cultural guide in marrakech - Tahar was lovely and kind. He patiently answered all our questions and guide us through the Medina like the expert he is. As a local he knows all the bits and tricks and it was very enjoyable. What I particularly liked is that in almost all the cases, even when visiting the touristic attractions as well, he will take you to really authentic more “hidden” places (for example for some delicious Moroccan sweets where the locals actually buy). Also he was quite flexible with his time and wasn’t in a rush to finish explicitly at the given hour. He was waiting for us and “reading the room” to our pace. As with all Moroccans, we felt welcomed and hosted. Expect some good inspirational quotes and good jokes along the way! One last thing that was nice, is that he has quick access to the attractions, so you save time with long waiting queues. Thank you again Tahar!!
