Saeed is a fantastic guide. His knowledge of the history of Morocco is excellent and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. I would highly recommend that you get him to show you around the city.

We had one of the best tour days we've ever had. My wife and I travel quite a bit and have seen the best and worst of tours. This day with Said ranks as one of the best. We saw so many things and learned more than we ever thought we would. What made this one of the best was Said listened to what interested us and made sure that is what we got to see. I can't recommend Siad highly enough!

Our group of 4 spent a whole day with Said and it was a great experience. Said's background as a teacher really comes through in that it's not just a show and tell, paint by numbers kind of experience. You get a thorough history lesson, I didn't realize it at the time but I started to appreciate my experiences in Marrakech even more. Understanding the past has a way of making you appreciate the present. Said was extremely flexible with our requests and how the mood of the group was going.
I didn't read the description properly but we had to rent our own driver, so make sure if you want to be driven around make sure you set that up too. We all had a great experience and definitely recommend Said.

Our visit to Marrakesh would have been only half the experience if not for Said. He is a wealth of knowledge and shares it in a way that makes you understand and want to know more. We would never have been able to find the real treasures without him and even if we had, we wouldn't have understood their significance. We saw the usual attractions but his explanations of the architecture and use of design and materials really painted the picture in our minds. His tour of the artisans section of the souks was amazing! From the communal bread oven to the authentic lunch, the traditional pharmacy and a shop where they create stunning works in metal, it was fascinating from start to finish. He is a lovely man, kind and patient. Thanks for the memories, Said!

Said’s tour (we did the full day tour of Marrakech) is jam-packed with information and a great way to see all of Marrakech’s highlights if you only have one day. His English is phenomenal (used to be an English teacher!), he’s very professional, and promptly answers emails and was on-time to pick us up at our Riad. His lunch recommendation was spot-on and he clearly has a passion for the history of Marrakech and Morocco in general. He also pays attention to his clients – he noticed I was really interested in the local street food and bought a big bag of in-season fresh strawberries and cleaned them with bottled water while we looked at one of the sites, which we then all enjoyed. My only critique would be that I wish he had shown us more “hidden-gems/secrets” that are difficult to find in a guide book.

Said met our family promptly at the back of the Koutoubia Mosque to begin our half-day tour. He was very knowledgable and we particularly liked his extra information about the languages, linguistics and history, which we were very interested in. The tour covered elements of local life that we would never have encountered on our own, like the communal bread oven and the hammam. We asked lots of questions and Said answered them fully and patiently. Our five year old was flagging from a late flight but Said was great with her and treated her to some cute keepsakes, and they played hide and seek in the museum. Said took us back to the square and called our hotel taxi driver for us and escorted across the chaotic traffic to the vehicle. Our daughter was very taken with Said and was very sad once we'd said goodbye. We had a great afternoon that added real value to what we saw and experienced. Thank you very much! We would definitely recommend Said!

Said's promptness in replying to my email and telephone inquiries about the tour marked him from the beginning as an excellent guide and businessman. This former teacher turned guide was perhaps the most knowledgeable and thorough guide we have had. As other reviewers have noted, he provides an excellent and well-rounded tour. He is also always attentive to your desires as well as your safety and security.
The afternoon tour starts at the Koutoubia Mosque and Minaret, and included everything you would want to see and do in a short period. We saw the Ben Yousseff Madrasa, the Median of Marrakesh, and Marrakesh Souks as well as the last big and common bakery and a herbalist. While a full schedule in a half a day, it was not a rushed tour in any way and Said covered all the key aspects of it fully and completely. This included an explanation of Marrakesh and Moroccan history, culture, and the peoples.
He also gave shopping hints in the Souks, places to also see in Marrakesh and Morocco, restaurant recommendation, and even dropped us off at our hotel afterwards. Simply put, an excellent tour lead by an superb, intelligent, and thoughtful guide. I would recommend him without reservation.

Said provided our family with a lovely tour. Arranged to meet us coming in from Essaouira, and communicating with our driver to arrange a meeting spot. He is very knowledgeable and clearly good at what he does. He was able to provide a nice balance between historical, cultural and market experience. He was also considerate of our time and tried to fit in as much as possible, and then make sure we arrived at the airport for our flight home. So, for anyone who only has one day in Marrakesh, with luggage, this is a perfect solution, as our luggage stayed in his van with the driver at all times. Would recommend to friends.

We really enjoyed our visit to Marrakech and one of the reasons for this was the facilitation of Mohammed guided tour. In addition to planning a very balanced and interesting tour, he was sensitive to our cultural needs as well as our shopping interests. Mohammed is a very well educated , polite and serious professional and carried us through the most interesting realities of Marrakech.

Hi Said,
I took a tour with you back in 2013 and it was really great. I am trying to assemble the same tour guides I had for that trip for another trip this year. Can you put me in touch with Namir who was my driver?
