Super - tour guide - On August 8th, we joined a tour in Marrakesh. It was fantastic—our guide was patient, empathetic, and provided all the information we wanted to know. I can only recommend him to everyone, as exploring the beauty of Marrakesh becomes so much easier with him! Sallam was amazing—thank you very much. Noé and Noémi from Hungary

Unforgettable Morocco - My two sisters and I just wrapped up the most unforgettable adventure in Morocco—and it’s all thanks to our amazing guide, Sallam! From the moment we met him in vibrant Marrakesh, his warm smile and endless enthusiasm set the tone for our journey. Sallam whisked us off to every must-see gem: wandering through the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa square as the call to prayer echoed overhead, marveling at the secret courtyards of the Bahia Palace, and sipping sweet mint tea in an authentic riad hidden down a labyrinth of pink-walled alleys. His insider knowledge meant we skipped the tourist traps and discovered the real soul of the city. What really made the tour sparkle was Sallam himself. His loving energy is absolutely infectious—he’s charismatic, sincere, and genuinely passionate about sharing Morocco’s rich history and culture. Whether he was teaching us a handful of Arabic phrases, explaining the art of henna painting, or revealing the stories behind ancient tilework, we felt like honorary locals by the end of the day. Every moment felt effortless and fun, from navigating the spice-scented souks (where Sallam negotiated us the sweetest deals!) to laughing over a rooftop dinner illuminated by lantern light. He’s not just a guide—he’s a friend who made every step of our trip feel special. If you’re planning a Moroccan adventure with friends or family, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Sallam. You’ll see the best spots, learn so much you’ll want to move here, and have a blast every minute of the way!

Unforgettable Memories with Sallam - Our time in Marrakech was pure magic…made unforgettable by our incredible guide, Sallam. From the moment we stepped into the vibrant medina to discovering the city’s hidden gems, Sallam brought Marrakech to life in the most extraordinary way. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and architecture added rich meaning to every moment. We wandered through the souks, admired the intricate beauty of Bahia Palace, and soaked up the energy of Jemaa el-Fnaa…..all while being captivated by Sallam’s stories and warm humor. Sallam has a rare gift….he makes every traveler feel like an old friend. Always punctual, incredibly organized, and full of fun surprises (including some amazing local snacks!), he infused every moment with joy. His passion for his city and his proud Amazigh heritage added a truly personal touch to our journey. If you’re heading to Marrakech, do yourself a favor: go with Sallam. He didn’t just guide us through a city, he gave us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime. Choukran, Sallam! ❤️ We miss you!

Memorable Marrakech trip - We had an amazing trip to Morocco last Spring. Our tour guide Sallam, is a fountain of knowledge. He introduced us to so much of the country’s culture. We loved all the sites we visited, including Marrakech. He is very easy to talk to with a sense of humor and a great company throughout the tour. We felt like we were exploring the city with a local friend rather than a tour guide. Thanks, Sallam for a memorable trip. We hope to be back.

Outstanding guide and unforgettable experience with Sallam - I spent four incredible hours in Marrakech with Sallam, an exceptional guide. He took me through the souks and historic sites with care and deep knowledge. I learned so much about the Ben Youssef Medersa, Islamic culture, and how different civilizations have blended to form today’s Morocco. Sallam made sure to point out authentic, locally made products, something I would never have understood without his help. He offered me a unique coffee prepared in hot sand, guided me through the tanneries, and helped me discover the best traditional sweets in town. I even learned the story of Jemaa el-Fna and the Gnawa performers in red robes. Sallam was kind, patient, and passionate. Absolutely deserving of 5 stars!
