Took this tour with my partner and honestly, it was soooo much better than we thought. Our guide (can’t remember his name, oops!) seemed to know everyone in the market. We got lost in these tiny alleyways but he just kept smiling and chatting with the locals—felt like we were with a celeb. The Medrassa was CLOSED for a wedding, which was kinda a bummer, but he made up for it by showing us some secret courtyard with crazy beautiful tiles. DO NOT miss the garden, it’s like a green oasis after all the noise. Only thing—wish we had more time for mint tea at the end.

Went with a group of friends, all first-timers in Morocco. The guide was really funny and kept making jokes about haggling (I SUCK at it). Loved the stories about the history behind each place. A bit toooo many people in the souks for my taste, but hey, that’s part of the vibe. Wear comfy shoes – my feet were DEAD by the end. Would do again, just maybe not in the afternoon heat.

Absolutely brilliant tour! I brought my parents and they were so happy—my mom kept raving about the mosaics. Our guide, Hicham, really knew his stuff and answered every random question my dad threw at him (sorry Hicham). We got to sample some local pastries too, which was a nice touch. It did get a bit crowded in the medina but our group stayed together thanks to Hicham’s little red umbrella. This tour made our trip!
