Your valuable resource and excellent guide. - Our guide, Youssef, could not have been better. His pace and generous delivery of information and his own personal stories was extremely enlightening to the Moroccan culture. He treated us as if we were his most precious friends. It is a tour and memory I will not soon forget. He offered to be a resource for information during our entire stay in Marrakech.

Good sample of the main points of interest - The tour is a good taste of Marrakesh in one afternoon. You will see the most important points of interest and also the Medina w the tour guide. This is always a plus because for first time travelers to Marrakesh, the Medina can be overwhelming . We went to Bahia Palace, the school of Koran, the gate, a good rug store, the spices market, the mosque and the Medina. Our tour guide Mohamed was very knowledgeable. We are both fluent in English and Spanish. We told the tour guide to speak which ever of the two languages he felt more comfortable. He chose English but it was a bit hard to understand him. I think this is quite common in Marrakesh because we heard other tour guides speaking English and you barely could understand them.

Great Experience! - Our tour was a wonderful experience. Our guide did an excellent job and was instrumental in making the experience wonderful. The venue was packed and chaotic, so I would not recommend going on this trip without a guide. Additionally, a private tour makes a night and day difference for the experience as you go exactly where you want for how long you want and get tons of quality photos, so if you can afford it, I would highly recommend it.

A private tour with Yousef in Marrakech - We got the right tour guide on the right day. Yousef was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He picked us up at our Road and was early, which is a good thing. Before we began he gave us an overview of what we would be seeing that day. The tour was a combination of walking + brief van rides to get us to places in different parts of the city. We saw the Jewish Quarter, Bahia Palace, the outside of the main mosque, various souks, and a madrassa (Ben Yousef). He knew all about the history of what we were seeing. I learned many new things about Islam, the history of Morocco, and about mosaic tiles. Private tours are the way to go. I would not have been able to ask as many questions if there were 30 of us (we were a party of 6).

A great 1/2 day with Yousef - Our guide was Yousef and he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We saw the Jewish Quarter, Bahia Palace, and great places within the Medina. The pace was perfect for us. I would highly recommend this company and Yousef in particular.
