A bad experience not to be repeated. From not picking us up at the Riad, as indicated, to not complying with the tour itinerary that was described, the absurd amount we paid did not include any entry fee. I advise everyone to book an excursion when you are in Marrakech and not through getyourguide. Finally the guide was simply the most unfriendly person I met in Marrakech. It was to close big. NOT TO REPEAT.

Our guide, Smalto, was so informative and gave the best tips to explore Marrakech. He ensured that we saw all the major landmarks/attractions and provided us with the history of each main area. He also gave us ample time to explore the palace and gardens on our own. Overall, would highly recommend this tour to see the highlights of Marrakech!

Program well executed, very interesting! Except the secret garden which is not a pretty sight and above all placed after the Majorette garden

The guide was very good. The trip went smoothly and I would reccomend him.

Guide molto preparate , ottima gestione del tempo! Consigliato
