"Ouidad is a wonderful guide, helpful, informative and very kind. We went on a magical tour which combined places on the must see tourist list to things you would miss or never get to see. The 5 hours flew past, but we never felt rushed or hurried. It was like travelling with a very knowledgeable patient friend who was able to answer all our questions. Thank you for the wonderful memories you gave us on our magical mystery tour. "

You cant go wrong with Mo.
"Mo was on time, professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, open minded, flexible, and all around great. He was fun, got us all the best picture spots, and started the day by assuring us any question we had would be fine. His English was perfect (but he speaks 4 languages). You will not be disappointed if you can get him!!!"

Best guide ever!
"Aimad was the best guide we've ever had in Morocco. No compulsory shopping tours, but interesting insights into the daily life of Moroccans in Marrakech. He really listened to what we asked and had something interesting to say about every topic. Such a nice guy! Highly recommended."
"Aimad was very engaging and knowledgeable. We had a good pace and had told him about a few things we wanted to see ( and not) and he absolutely took this on board and went over and above to ensure what we loved was included. Fabulous "
"I was fortunate enough to share one afternoon with Redouan in the heart of Marrakesh. Redouan is not only an incredible historian of his city and country, but he was hospitable, friendly, and beyond eager to share. Our afternoon felt less like a 'tour bus excursion' and more like going for an afternoon stroll with a friend. We stopped for coffee, chatted with local merchants and craftsmen, and my desire to partake and experience this culture was beyond satiated.
If you are: curious about Morocco, interested in history, don't know where to get started, don't know the language, or just want to experience this incredible city with a local, I could not recommend Redouan enough. His hospitality, experience, and willingness to share mitigated the difficult boundaries of culture shock in a manner closer to a friend.
Thank you!
(Additionally, Redouan is a great resource for broader Morocco tourism. I did a ten day Morocco trip over five cities and booked this tour on day two. Speaking with Redouan about all the destinations I planned on visiting and asking for recommendations/what to expect etc. was very helpful.)"
"Wir hatten das große Glück, Marrakesch mit Aimad entdecken zu dürfen. Von Anfang an war die Betreuung herzlich, professionell und gleichzeitig sehr persönlich.
Er hat uns viele interessante Hintergründe über die Geschichte, Kultur und das Leben in Marrakesch vermittelt. Besonders schön war, dass er auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen ist und sich viel Zeit für uns genommen hat. Dadurch haben wir Marrakesch nicht nur gesehen, sondern wirklich erlebt.
Seine freundliche Art, sein umfangreiches Wissen und sein großes Engagement haben unsere private tour zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Auch bei Fragen oder kleinen Wünschen war er jederzeit hilfsbereit."

Wandelen zonder een stroom aan toeristen
"Wij hadden Redouan op onze eerste avond al ingezet om ons de weg te wijzen. Hierdoor konden wij de rest van ons verblijf zonder moeite onze weg vinden in Marrakesh. Hij heeft ons enorm veel verteld over de historie en wij zijn langs alle ambachtswijken gelopen. Super leuk maar vooral niet met de stroom van toeristen mee. Alle bezienswaardigheden die wij wilden zien werden in de tour meegenomen met hier en daar een mooie aanbeveling om wat te drinken of te eten. Redouan wordt door ons aanbevelen aan iedereen die Marrakesh wil ontdekken."

Excellent and fantastic guide, the best.
"One of the best guides I have ever met. It was a fantastic experience in my first trip to Marrakech. Mohamed's explanations were clear and very interesting, explaining the details and significance of each place visited. In addition, he planned a perfect itinerary so that I could visit all the most important sites during my five-hour visit. Thank you very much to Mohamed and I will highly recommend his guide service to everyone visiting Marrakech. "
