About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ocynthiap0 contributionsGreat!Great experience. The instructor saw that I was nervous and so took their time with me. I really appreciated this. Was a lot of fun all in all. Recommend.Written September 25, 2024
- E9098OMsallys0 contributionsAwesome day!This was an amazing experience with an awesome guide. My bike died on me, but was soon off again. It demonstrates the knowledge the guys have. The guide was fun and made the whole experience amazing and leaves me wanting to do it again!Written September 14, 2024
- kaleb O0 contributionsAmazing experience.The people make it really amazing experience. From the driver at pick up point to the families that welcome you for tea before the paragliding. Ibrahim and mourad are amazing top pilots🔥. Lovely smiling and caring and funny guides. Highly recommended, don’t be scared by the price, it’s worth it!Written September 12, 2024
- Paradise3121780 contributionsHard Yakka!It’s absolutely hard yakka! So be prepared, be prepared nowhere, miles of twisting roads, very few stops and when you get there is one hell of a slap. But then you’re a tourist you signed up for the hard deal. I shouted at the Driver to get ventilation no chance of AC.Written September 9, 2024
- Iulian G0 contributionsAit Ben HaddouThe best of all experiences. The driver was at the specified time there. Everything was well organized. The driver was driving safely the entire time. I would only recommend it further.Written September 6, 2024
- alextS3576ZS0 contributionsGreat Day out to visit Kazbar Ait Ben HadouuDriving though the Atlas Mountains was a great experience. We stopped off at many sigh seeing points on the way and the driver was very informative. Ait Ben Hadouu was beautiful to walk through with several vantage points with amazing views. It's worth noting you only spend an Hour in the the Ancient town and the tour guide costs extra €3 pp, but well worth it. Our driver, Sahib, was excellent! He was equipped with several fluent languages, incredibly funny and knowledgeable about the cultural history of the area. A great guide and teacher. Tanemmirt.Written September 4, 2024
- erickas4560 contributionsIncredibly fun!Quad biking is so fun! Everyone was so helpful and offered quick tips in either English, French, or Arabic (so cool). Our tour guide Ayoub was immensely fun and helpful and giving of his time - also very encouraging for those of us who weren't very confident, hahaha. Overall, loved this experience and loved getting to see so much desert! As a city girl, definitely needed to be out there.Written September 1, 2024
- maddieb9530 contributionsHighly recommendReally great experience. Everyone really lovely and accommodating. Stopped for tea and also stopped to take pictures which was nice. Would definitely recommend and will do again on return to Marrakech.Written September 1, 2024
- Compass257216980150 contributionsWhat an Amazing Day !Redouane was an exceptional guide, far exceeding my expectations. It was a pleasure meeting him and discovering this beautiful part of Morocco. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the day unforgettable. Highly recommendedWritten August 24, 2024
- Aeeshabz0 contributionsGreat camel-ride experience!!Although we just wanted to take pics with the camels, Tariq encouraged us to go on a little tour on them and it was worth it!! Pick up and drop off was very easy and so accurate!! Would recommend!!Written August 24, 2024
- dagany20240 contributionsQuad Biking ExperienceIt was really fun! And the guides were really helpful and there was a stop to rest and had tea and there was another stop to take photos! Overall, I would recommend doing this activity, very fun and easy to learn!Written July 23, 2024
- AnneC44440 contributionsMore like a transfer than a tour during the drive time.This was more like a transfer, rather than a tour. Our guide was very nice, but we had difficulty understanding him and he had difficulty understanding us. Not much was said during the long drive time. The included guide at Ait ben Haddou was very good. We told him that we were not interested in the invisible ink demonstration, so we moved on. Studios were interesting, but they too have their own guide. This is what made the entire experience an average rating. I debated about going with the group tour, but thought this tour would provide more information and pickup. Pickup was at a closest gate, not at the riad and little was said during the drive. The group tour probably would have been the better choice.Written July 23, 2024
- Y5219MAracheld0 contributionsExcellentExcellent service picked up from our hotel and taken to our destination. We then had a great experience riding the camels 🐫 and then dropped back and all cheaper than the price the reps quoted at the hotelWritten July 22, 2024
- Carlos P0 contributionsMust go!Excellent! The service is amazing and the people are too! Totally recommend :). The length and the quad was also super super goodWritten July 15, 2024
- alisS6741MQ0 contributionsFantastic adventure through the desert and traditional areas of Marrakech!The experience was fantastic! I was picked up from my hotel so didn’t have to worry about getting there and back. They kept me in the loop about picking me up via WhatsApp which was handy. I’ve never done something like this before, so I had a practice session with one of the guys. They also were kind enough to take pictures and videos of me on the quad bike during the experience. The stop at the Berber cafe was great too! The mint tea, bread and honey were great to recharge before setting off towards the palm tree area. Definitely would go again and recommend these guys to others!Written July 11, 2024

I honestly was a little skeptical of this tour and I expected it to be pretty bad lol. Fortunately I was completely incorrect. It was super.
The tour guide’s name pronounced Jalil (sorry if I butchered) was well educated and knowledgeable. My tour felt completely customized to my background and what I wanted to see and hear. The guide was extremely passionate as he spoke and enlightened you with the history that flourished the city.
The day before my tour I had walked around for hours myself and I didn’t really like the city - I was ready to leave. Having seen the city in a completely different way, I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience I had. I highly recommend everyone to take this tour, and if I came back I would request him again.

We were expecting a couple to host us on this guided walk as per the description and premium price paid but it was a single guy. We didn’t do the herbalists shop nor local pastries. We did go to a juniper wood carving artisan which was good especially as there was no hard sell.
The positives? Zaid our guide was extremely courteous and very knowledgeable on the history of Essaouira and made our 3 hours with him very interesting. We did go to the fish market and had the most delicious fresh red snapper, shrimps and squid all cooked when we had chosen what we wanted.
Overall I would recommend this tour but if there is a change of guide/tour content please let your guests know what to expect.

It’s a great tour where we could enjoy the rich history of Essaouira and its’ hospitality. We learned about the Medina and Le Souk, ramparts and the Fishing Port, walked charming narrow streets of the Old town that breathe history, and made little stops to see symbols that reflect believes and values. The tour will satisfy and engage all your senses: smell of wood and workshop, taste of belly-filling seafood- here everything is a fresh ‘catch of the day’, sound of transcending gnawa music, and, finally, look of artistry that is seamlessly new and traditional. Here and there is an extra bonus- fluffy cats. Would love to come back to Essaouira one day❤️

Ahmed our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about his home town, we learned and were shown things we would not otherwise have discovered or found ourselves. This was very much being immersed into living like a local with the visit to the harbour for fish and it being cooked for us on a charcoal grill in the medina. This part is not for the faint hearted, and no cutlery is provided! The fish however was as fresh as you can get and cooked well. We also visited a thuja wood workshop which was very informative and returned to make a purchase. Any questions we had about local customs were answered though we did not receive the recommendations for eating out and shopping mentioned in other reviews.or sample any pastries or tea so perhaps tour's depend on guides preferences. Overall we were glad we experienced the to help orientate ourselves with this great town.

We had been before and we were keen to learn some History, our guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the city. Well worth doing, things in the medina you just wouldn't notice on your own. Certainly lots of history. We choose not to have supper but you can go and to the fish market and pick what you want cooked in a local restaurant. The guide had a good sense of humour.

We did a walking/food tour of Essauoira with Ahmed. Excellent English and knowledge of the town and pointed us to restaurants and shops with no pressure to buy or go there. He bought cookies and we had mint tea. Then he chose fish for us in the market and had it grilled at a local Berber cafe, served with Moroccan bread and salad. Simple and delicious. My husband and I felt we got a taste of everyday life and insight into the Berber culture.

We didn't know what to expect, but what a unique experience we had with Abdeljalil (the unofficial mayor of Essouria). He knew everyone and provided us the insider's look at this beautiful city. We loved learning the history of Essouria and seeing some key sites (like the Game of Thrones gate). He took us into the fish market and chose a variety of fresh fish, vegetables and chicken. Then we went to a local grill and had it all cooked and served to us at a rooftop patio. By the end, we were well versed in how to get around, what to see, and tasted some of the best food Essouria has to offer.
