A very nice experience with Mohamed. Very good English. We visited a few things we would never have seen on our own. Local cooperative bread oven. Used daily by locals to cook their own family's bread and pastries. Cooperative carpet sellers for ladies. All made by mountain women who cannot yet sell them themselves in the medina. Ancient trading sites, hidden behind very tall gates, originally intended to safely shelter camels and trade goods overnight, some of which have been restored and are still used today in local forms of commerce .
Really interesting tour, seeing many of the main artisans in the souks, rather than the more touristy outer parts. We would definitely recommend it. It’s also a great way to gain confidence in and around the souks and find your way around.

The guided tour of the Marrakech souks was a truly enriching experience. Our guide not only allowed us to navigate stress-free through the maze of busy streets, but also shared with us in-depth knowledge about local history, culture and traditions. Thanks to him, we discovered hidden treasures, met talented artisans and tasted exquisite flavors. This guided immersion truly added an extra dimension to our exploration of the souks, and left us with unforgettable memories of this magnificent city.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and super informative was our guide mohamed led a fantastic and insightful stroll around the souq of Marrakesh that brought the city, its history, culture, and traditions to life. Genuine and kind, he knows a lot of people around the souk and is fluent in English too, so you get an excellent grasp on details and observations about life and sense of community in Marrakesh.
If you want a professional but personable guide to show you local hidden gem places (you'll make a couple of stops along the way but there is no pressure to buy) or revisit afterwards to snag some treasures by yourself, mohamed is the only guide you'll need in Marrakesh.
definitley recommand !

Mohamed was a fantastic guide - he showed us many interesting sites including the traditional bakery and hammam and le Jardin Secret. We sampled delicious local food. We also visited a number of artisan workshops to see how the craftsmen create their wares. We even learnt how to knot a Berber carpet!
The whole experience was wonderful. All of the stores we visited had very friendly staff who were not pushy in the slightest.
Definitley recommand.

We’ve just finished our afternoon tour of the Souqs with Mohammed , we met in front of the Cafe de France and started the tour from there with another couple from Belgium.
We were shown not only the shops and stores in the souqs but also the trades represented there - great to see carpets and metal lamps being made in the back streets. It wasn’t a shopping trip as such (but I’m sure you can shop if you ask) but more of an education of the area, it’s history and it’s people.
At 3 hours it’s a long walk although you are sheltered from the direct sun much if the time. our guide have a great commentary without bombarding us with too much unnecessary detail. We stopped for coffe at the half time point which was nice.

We opted for a private tour and were pleased that we did. Our guide was amazing Very friendly and warm, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He encouraged us to ask questions and had a good sense of humour and kept the tour light-hearted and fun. We were provided with lots of informations and saw the highlights of Marrakech also the souk and learned a lot about the history and culture in just three hours.
Thank you
