Shopping in the Souks of Marrakech Private Tour

Such a great tour! We were able to customize to make it exactly what I needed for location scouting and shopping. I also appreciated the help negotiating in the markets. You can be pretty aggressively haggled as a foreigner so having a guide really does wonders in allowing you to have a targeted exploration! Would 100% recommend

This short tour is a must for those who is first time in marrakech. I'd highly recommend everyone to book this tour for your first day of your trip. This tour gives you alot of information of marrakech and save you alot of time looking on google. We were met by Mohammed outside of cafe de france in the morning at 10am. This is a walking tour and easy walking pace so it is suitable for everyone. Mohammed our local guide shown us around Medina and gave us lots of information about the culture and history of Marrakech. We discovered alot of new places in the souks with Mohammed. You'll find in that everyone in marrakech selling almost the similar things. It is not easy to choose one that is not going to rip you off. Mohammed can help you with this by showing you where is the best place to buy i.e rugs / lamps/ spices ... etc Mohammed also can give you advice on where is the best place to eat too. Mohammed is your lifesaver in Marrakesh. He is very kind and humble. I would highly recommend everyone book this tour.

We met at 10am outside Cafe de France. Mohammad was our guide ( four of us). Glad we were not in big group. Unfortunately Mohammad seemed to be in charge of organising other groups and we were lateto start. He was very pleasant and spoke good English but was distracted continually on phone and we felt very neglected. Enjoyed what we saw very much and when we wanted to buy he helped us bargain. We visited secret garden. Saw slippers being made, metal work, a bakery and Argan oil etc shop. We were impressed and bought but were later told back in our Riad it was simply cooking oil we felt very cheated. We could not have done this without s guide and felt it was overpriced for what we got we had to ask for both water and coffee which was included in price. We booked our own guide next day and were delighted and realised just how poor first day was

I did this tour only 2 hours after arriving in Marrakech. First, Mohammed was a great communicator as I was a bit nervous on how he would find me at the meeting place. This was no problem. The tour was a great mix of shopping and history. He took me to historical places around the souk and showed me the work that went into some of the craftsmanship. Yes, he does take you to certain places where he has connections but I didn't mind because there truly wasn't a pressure to buy. It gave me a good glimpse at the quality products within the souks so when I was wandering later alone, I could tell the difference. He also has a great sense of humor and really puts in the effort to get to know you. The experience flew by and he even helped me get a tuk tuk ride back to my riad when it was all over, which he paid for. I was so impressed by this tour. I went on this tour alone but I think it could be just as valuable if you went in a group.

Mohamad was the very best guide! He took us to all the best shops for spices, rugs and beautiful tea sets just to name a few items. It was a half day tour but he stayed with us until we found everything we were looking for. Shaakran Mohamad.

We had a great time exploring the Souks with Mohammed! I definitely recommend getting a tour guide because the souks are a big maze. We went to several great shops, and were able to get some Argan oil, and several souvenirs. Highly recommend!

I feel like the places I went to were overpriced. Nonetheless the tour guides were really nice people.

This tour was 11/10 AMAZING. The only reason it took me a few days to review it is that I was having trouble with my Viator account but I specifically kept working on getting logged in so that I could write a review of Reda and his shopping tour. I purchased this tour with my daughter because she wanted to do some shopping in the souks and we were not sure how hectic it would be. It was wonderful having a guide who could take us to good quality artisan works, knew his way around, and could help us negotiate fair prices for excellent pieces. Reda was able to help my daughter find everything she wanted and see everything she wanted to see. We were also able to see artisans at work on their crafts, and smell and sample many fine quality spices and soaps which was very interesting. All of the people at the shops who we worked with to find products were very kind and it was very helpful being with a guide they knew personally. Additionally, Reda was very welcoming and generous. He was happy to bring us to as many shops as needed to find what we wanted, was very funny, personally helped us pick through items, and even shared some helpful Arabic phrases with us which required a lot of patience! We felt safe throughout the tour, and would call Reda any time we return to Marrakech! Highly, highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Reda, was lovely and the tour started off amazing. He explained about some of the areas of the souks, some of the architecture and was helpful in answering our questions. however as mentioned in other reviews, it became clear that there are arrangements made between guides and shop owners, and it became a very curated tour only going to one rug place, one leather place. All in all, it was a good experience, but just be mindful if you are considering purchasing, there are many other souks to visit.

The guide was excellent but viator let us book a tour on a Friday afternoon but 75% of the shops are shut on this day which let the tour down.
