Excellent tour. The best way to get to know Marrakech. Tour took us to hidden streets we could not reach by ourselves. Best tour guide ever: good communicator, knows a lot of history, respecful serious and responsible. Some characteristics that were really difficult to find in many people ithe city.

Ali would go down in history as the best tour guide in Marrakech. This tour actually took around 9 hours but who cares! The lunch was absolutely amazing, sooooo much food! Ali - thank you so much for such a wonderful day - Karina and Claudia

A good tour visiting some areas we would'nt have seen by ourselves. Lunch excellent in interesting restaurant. The group managed to stay together which was quite something cosidering the number of people and the chaotic area we were vsiting!. The guide spoke excellent English and was really very good but seemed to rather lose his grip of things after the totally unnecessary and much too long visit to a pharmacy type place....All in all we enjoyed the tour with the exception of the" oils " which as I said was far too long and really intensly boring in our opinion and many others we spoke to.

First of all, regarding pick-up from "selected hotels", I had assumed that because my riad was in the medina, that it would be included in the pick up, but apparently if you book online you will only be picked up from "central" hotels in the new city area, not from the Medina. Tourists who book directly through their riad/hotel in the Medina will be picked up, but they pay a higher rate. This caused us a problem as we had to travel to the Viator office in the "new city" at our own expense and our taxi driver, who was late picking us up, dropped us off in the wrong place. We finally made it to the coach and visited various historic sights. Many of the people with us in the morning had booked the "historic tour". They left us at lunch time and we went on to lunch at a restaurant, Dar Es Salaam. Service was slow and food was bland, but the surroundings were attractive. The afternoon tour consisted of the souks and the tanneries, factories, etc. You were not given the opportunity to buy anything at the market stalls, but were taken to a particular gift shop (like a fair trade shop?) where you could purchase, although there was no huge pressure to buy. All in all, it was a long day and the next day I had blisters on my feet! With hindsight, I would have booked separate half-day tours through my riad and ensured transport to the tour coach was included. Otherwise, the content of the tour was interesting.

This was a trip to different shops that sold the products ten times the normal price so that the tour company would get commission. At least 4 hours in the afternoon were spent at different shops.
