- Bahia Palace - Located in Marrakesh, Morocco, the Bahia Palace is a magnificent palace with gardens, built in the late 19th century to be the most splendid palace of its era. The name “Bahia” translates to “brilliance.”
- Mellah - The historic Jewish quarter of Marrakesh is experiencing a revival.
- Kasbah Mosque - Situated in the Royal Palace district, the Kasbah district also houses the Saadian Tombs. This tourist area around the Tombs remains authentic, with numerous traditional shops, and regains its tranquility once the Saadian Tombs close.
- Saadian Tombs - The Saadian Tombs are burial sites in Marrakech, Morocco, dating back to the era of the Saadian dynasty’s Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur. Located on the south side of the Kasbah Mosque, these tombs were forgotten for centuries until rediscovered in 1917 through aerial photography and subsequently restored by the Beaux-arts service.
- Koutoubia - The Koutoubia Mosque, also known as the Koutubiyya Mosque, is the largest mosque in Marrakesh, Morocco. Its name is also spelled as Jami’ al-Kutubiyah, Kutubiya Mosque, Kutubiyyin Mosque, and Mosque of the Booksellers.

Good time - We enjoyed the tour, Mohammed was very friendly and funny. Although the itinerary was different from the one described, it was very informative still.

The best way to experience Marrakesh! The perfect trip with a kind, knowledgeable and friendly local guide. - What a fabulous guide - Friendly, authentic and knowledgeable, sharing all his top tips but also taking care of us along the way- we were able to see parts of the city that we’d never have known about and felt completely safe.
Mohammed grew up in Marrakesh and talked through the cultural side of the city which gave us a “local” perspective and interaction rather than an instructional “tour”.
There was no pressure selling (and with a guide we were able to be walk through the souls without any hassle).
I’d recommend this guide wholeheartedly - he’s the best !

Nice walking history tour - This was a nice tour. We went to many local historical areas and learned about elements of each. Our guide was very casual and did not go deeply into any subject, but overall it was a nice walking tour and we did see many locations.

Don’t expect to see all that the tour offers. Hit and Miss. - The guide was nice and informative, but missed out a couple of the sites on the itinerary. This was a shame as I was expecting to do the itinerary and then had to rearrange my trip schedule to fit in the other sites. Excuses were made as to why we missed out sites, such as they are closed today: which was not true. Another reason was that too much time was spent in one site, which was not true, but also I would expect the guide to be on top of keeping track of time.
At the end of the tour we were promised a tea, but then were taken to the ‘chemist’ style shops where we were pushed to buy products. I didn’t expect this part of the tour.

Good intro the souks - An informative, pleasant guide who took us to many workshops we wouldn't have ordinarily seen by ourselves. Could have had some history behind the souks, mosques and palaces etc. It wasnt quite what was advertised as we didnt walk past many of the places listed. Ie Koutoubia mosque, palaces hammams or receive the Moroccan tea. In hindsight many of the places described within the itinerary were too far away to walk to anyway! Ie Jardin majorelle

Historical half day tour. - The guide insisted on waiting on people who were up to 30 minutes late. Duration 3hrs was reduced to 2hrs. 7 stops advertised which we did not have. English speaking tour but half spoke French so the guide held the rest of us up while a translator repeated what he said. Expensive tour, definitely not good value for money.
