About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Tom S0 contributionsExcellent local guide.We did two tours with Abdellah, first an organised garden tour and then a private walking tour of some of the quieter more traditional areas of Marrakech. Abdellah was friendly and knowledgeable, with a huge local knowledge and excellent spoken English, able to answer all of our questions on architecture, history, religion and pretty much anything else. He listened to what we were interested in and tailored the tours appropriately. We got so much more insight by using Abdellah for our walk round the city rather than doing it ourselves. When we come back to Marrakech in the future we will definitely use him again. Very highly recommended.Written March 16, 2024
- 602pippag0 contributionsBest day with AbdellahWe did a half day tour with Abdellah - mum with two teens - which was really interesting and well paced. He picked us up from our riad and took us to souks and key sights, answering lots of wand pointing out interesting things. He helped us to acclimatise to Marrakesh and explain the culture and city.Written January 2, 2024
- wilcon20210 contributionsHe was a good guide.It was super! The guide leads you to the best places in the old town of Marrakech. It is very kind man and a good, plesant trip.Written December 28, 2023
- ladams880 contributionsA friend in Morocco!We booked Ahmed for airport transfer and consequently booked him again for transfer between hotels and airport transfer. He was super knowledgeable, we had some brilliant conversations and he even gave us some recommendations for local food whilst in Marrakech. On our last trip with him, he brought some Moroccan sweets from his favourite Patisserie. Would recommend to everybody!Written November 23, 2021
- 814kitty0 contributionsAmazing tour! Highly recommend!I highly recommend Ahmed (our tour guide). From start to finish, he was so informative and helpful. He made our trip the best ever. He picked us up from the airport and explained all the sites on the way to our hotel. He worked hard personalizing our days , depending on what we wanted to do. He was so knowledgeable about history and we enjoyed hearing stories on our rides. My daughter is planning a trip to Marrakech and I will make sure to book Ahmed to take care of her during her stay. I highly recommend Ahmed for all your tourist needs because he will surely make the trip worthwhile!Written November 15, 2021
- ksara20210 contributionsAwesome visit with professional guideSome times you meet people who leave you say that life is still better to travel, and this exactly what happened to us. Firstly, me and my family were supposed to walk to meet our guide from our ryad, but this gentle local guide made it to our ryad in order to save some time and even to start our walking from the ryad. We have got all what we have paid for; explaications, tips, and introduction to moroccan culture as everything were knew to us. We highly recommend this trip for people who look for a young guide that will entertain and has a wide knowledge about his country. Wooow !!!Written August 10, 2021
- CindyLu80 contributionsFantastic walking tourWe had a great time with Abdellah and really enjoyed walking around and learning more about the city from a local. It was great to get a private tour where you can ask many questions and share experiences with your guide. We loved the Bahia Palace and spice martlet the best but it was all wonderful.Written September 21, 2019
- Liisaa21050 contributionsAwesome tour!!!We will never forget this wonderful trip through the Atlas Mountains through the beautiful landscape to Ait Ben Haddou. It was impressing to see how the berber live, to hear about the history and to learn more about their culture. We really enjoyed the tour with Ahmed and Ilyas!Written February 21, 2019
- Passport035370170430 contributionsA must do - day trip to the Atlas MountainsOur guide for the day Ahmed was one of the best I’ve come across in all my travels. He was caring intelligent open minded and honest. Loved his country and proud of his heritage. We were taken up into the mountains and visited several Berber villages and got to mix and interact with locals away from the tourist spots. One of the most humbling moments was lunch in a Berber family home cooked with love by the Mum - very special. We visited several Kasba and the famous Ait Ben Haddou which was fantastic. We learnt a lot on the history and culture. We felt cared for and very safe throughout. This is a MUST DO visit.Written February 21, 2019

- W8753TWrachell0 contributions4 Day Road Trip from Marrakech to Fes Sais MoroccoWe, 2 couples from America, spent four out of 7 days from the 14th-19th with our incredible tour guide 'Abdullah' exploring the diversity of Morocco's land, culture heritage and adventure. We covered over 1000 miles driving from Marrakech to Fes Saiss with our guide,Abdullah getting us comfortably in & out and on to two different overnight camel treks in the Sahara to beautiful Kasbahs, unique side excursions, through historic medina's, Berber villages, over Atlas mountains, down to plantation valleys chasing rainbows into awe inspiring gorges perfect for rock climbing with local places of interest to stop all along the way. Abdullah was professional yet flexible through it all. He is so easy to travel with and knowledgable about everything Morocco we thought to ask! We enjoyed impeccable courtesy & hospitality everywhere we stopped on our 4 day journey from local food, bathroom breaks to scenic stops to stretch and shoot photography- I could go on how perfectly orchestrated yet self paced our trip was. Abdullah made this trip A truly authentic experience and better than I could have ever hoped, let alone planned for. Thank you my friend for making our first visit, and dreams of Morocco an experience we will cherish forever! Todd & Rachel Texas, USAWritten November 26, 2018
- Rutger M0 contributionsFantastic tour !Were all day on tour with Ahmed. Fantastic sceeneries and a lot of info from Ahmed on the country and culture. Very diverse and interesting !Written November 3, 2018
- aiman a0 contributions2 day trip to ZagouraWe had a 2 day trip to Zagoura. Abdalla, our guide was such an excellent guide, very helpful, we had oppurtunity to get to know and learn a handful of local advises and information regarding our visit. He picked us up at our hotel in time and returned to the same place as planed. During the trip he was so patient and eager to pass information and guide us through a wonderful, breathtaking unforgetable experience. Very reasonable price. Highly recommended.Written October 24, 2018
- sija600 contributionsGreat trip to atlas mountainWe spend an amazing day with Abdolah in the atlas mountain. He is a great tour guide, drove the car carefully and explained a lot about Morroco's history and the daily life of the Berbers. He tailored the trip to our individual needs offering different options what to visit along the road. He let us choose if and where we want to have lunch. We were never asked or felt the pressure to buy anything. We can definitely recommend him as a guide as well as the atlas mountain tour!Written October 21, 2018
- ann_mokhtar0 contributionsRoad to SaharaIts was a really long trip to Sahara but Abdullah made it as convenient possible for us. Above everything, his driving skill is exellent. Its very seldom i allow myself to sleep in the car, let alone in a foreign country but in Abdullah's car we slept like a baby...lol.Written October 6, 2018
