Amazing experience - thank you Abdul! - This was absolutely THE BEST tour we did in Morocco!
Abdul is so knowledgeable, courteous and kind. During the tour we learnt so much about the history of Marrakech and explored parts of the city we would not have otherwise seen by ourselves. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Marrakech!
We cannot wait to come back to visit again!
Shukran :)

Knowledge, Storytelling & Kindness Enriched Our Visit - So grateful to Abdul of Marrakesh Guided Tours for three consecutive half days of amazing experiences. His knowledge, storytelling and kindness enriched our first visit to Morocco. We thoroughly enjoyed 1) Marrakech Hidden Sides, 2) Marrakech Arts & Crafts and 3) Marrakech Spiritual Heritage. This combination of tours, plus Abdul's excellent restaurant recommendations, enabled us to confidently enjoy our Moroccan adventure. We highly recommend working with Abdul to plan your visit and found him to be highly professional, flexible and a great communicator.

Choose Marrakech guided tours for a thoughtful and hassle free tour. - Abdul offers an individualised and thoughtful approach to planning a guided tour for you around Marrakech. We told him of our interest beforehand and he made sure to include things that we would find interesting. He's a very educated and experienced guide who can help with many things and questions. The tour we took with him a few days ago showed us sides of Marrakech we had never seen before and we got to meet some really interesting people (particularly the man who tends the fire for cooking pots of meat. He was also a gun well and played us some music. It was a truly lovely event). We felt very safe with Abdul at all times and experienced an absolutely lovely day. We were very grateful to have found Abdul in his company.

Marrakesh Hidden Sides - Abdul came highly recommended to us from two different sources — and he absolutely lived up to it. His tour of Marrakesh was fascinating, informative, and refreshingly different from the usual tourist experience. As a local, his knowledge of the city is incredible, and his passion for its history and culture really shines through.
He took us to places we would never have found on our own and made every stop genuinely interesting. Abdul also went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of our time in Marrakesh, even beyond the tour itself.
If you’re looking for something more authentic than a standard tour, we would highly recommend him.

Wonderful day in Marrakech - Yesterday we went on a private full day tour of Marrakech with Abdullah. He is the kindest person we met on our trip. He is also a native of Marrakech and extremely knowledgeable about Marrakech. We began the day seeing YSL garden, museum and Berber museum. Then we went to see the coffee from all over the world, the palace and then to hidden garden for lunch and look around. After lunch we visited the souk for some shopping.
We greatly enjoyed Abdullah with his calm and helpful manner. Thank you for sharing beautiful Marrakech with us. We would definitely use his services on future trips 😍 PM

Best tour guide we’ve experienced in our travels - Abdul was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. A native of Marrakech, he brought the city to life with deep knowledge of its history, culture, and people. His English was clear and easy to understand, which made everything flow effortlessly. He's friendly,
charismatic, and genuinely funny - the perfect combination for a great guide.
What really stood out was how interesting every stop felt, particularly the hidden corners we would have missed on our own. He tailored the experience to exactly what we wanted and kept us away from the tourist crush. (We loved the fact that he knew so many people on the tour as we walked through. He was like the mayor of the city 😊)
We saw the real Marrakech, not just the postcard version. If you're looking for a memorable, authentic experience,
Abdul is the guide you want.

A guide to remember! - Our guided walk in Marrakech with guide Abdul was an absolute must for our whole family.
Abdul speaks about the city with incredible passion and has an impressive knowledge of its history. His fluent English makes it easy to follow everything well, and he is also a particularly sympathetic and heartwarming person.
He took us to places we would never have gone ourselves and also arranged a delicious lunch on the way. Our daughter Nora was fascinated throughout the tour and listened attentively as she enthusiastically walked along.
When we come back to Marrakech, we book without a doubt another trip with Abdul!

If you know this place, it is not hidden - Like many of you, I scrolled through different sites to find the best guide. Based on the positive TripAdvisor reviews, I decided to choose Abdul. It was the right decision, prove of concept.
Abdul is a knowledgeable and passionate storyteller. Don't miss him.
