Could not be happier we had Ali and Mohammed guide us through Marrakech and beyond. They are truly the most wonderfully kind people and they made us feel like we were with family from day one.
My partner and I decided to stay in Marrakech for 5 days in May, so I reached out to a few friends who had visited for some recommendations. One of those friends insisted that Ali was THE key to an excellent experience when he had been to Morocco with his whole family a few months prior. In retrospect, the glowing recommendation and all the 5 star reviews we read were absolutely merited.
The communication with Ali was excellent at every point in our planning. He proposed several exciting options for our itinerary, some of which involved longer excursions through Morocco to the Sahara desert. Since we had already booked our hotel in Marrakech and were looking for a more restful itinerary, we decided to do two touring days in the city and one day trip out to Ait Benhaddou. Both Ali and Mohammed were very flexible and thoughtful, always making sure we had the flexibility and comfort level to shape our experience the way we wanted.
For the two days we toured Marrakech, Ali picked us up from our hotel in the morning and we spent the day walking around the Medina with Mohammed. He took us to several sites and was an excellent resource going through the souks (markets). Beyond being an excellent navigator (which - trust me - you will absolutely be grateful for), Mohammed was very knowledgeable and had an evident, deep interest in all the bits of history and cultural context we were curious about. We spent the third day with Ali, driving out to Ait Benhaddou and stopping at a few spots along the way. He was an excellent guide and really did the most to make us feel like family.
We will absolutely be recommending Ali and Mohammed to all our friends visiting Morocco, and are very excited to return and see a different side of the country with them.
