A special glimpse into the old town with Mohammed - Mohammed gave us a nice and personal glimpse into the city this morning. Of course, the beautiful Bahia Palace was on the program. Then via the large mosque to the adjacent park. And of course to the Djema el Fna square, the medina, old town and the souk. He knows all the little streets and hidden places. Highly recommended!

Fun, smooth touring guide - I personally couldn't hear him very well sometimes. Because of very fast or soft talking. But mn was otherwise very nice and had some fun facts.
