Morocco · MEDINA & SOUK WALKS
A medina is a walled quarter with no street names, and a guide is the difference between a morning and a lost afternoon. These 15 cover Marrakech, Fez and Tangier, priced by length, with the palaces and tombs each one gets you into.

“Our guide Abdel was knowledgeable, charming and spoke English very well. the tour was well structured, and even though we'd already spent some time wandering around the souks, this gave us so much more in terms of authentic artisanal skills. We really loved visiting the community bakery. There is the opportunity to buy shoes, bags, wooden boxes, skin products from the herbalists and bracelets. It gave us more confidence to negotiate.”

“We had a fantastic half‑day walking tour. We thought it would be just a quick trip but it was the whole old part. Kamal was an excellent guide, full of stories that brought the city and its history to life with a touch of humor. We discovered places we would never have found on our own since the medina felt like a maze, we finished the tour feeling like we understood its story much better. Because we had to leave early we were walked until we were in a street that we could easily go on our own. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy guides who are rich in stories…”

“Abdul was a fabulous tour guide! We loved the entire thing. It was a very good value for the price. We saw so many great things and felt like we saw a much more authentic version of Fes than we could have on our own. We loved the bakery, an unexpected bonus, eating fresh, warm bread. My daughter liked the fabric shop. I enjoyed the tannery even though it was very smelly! (They provided mint to mask the smell.) Seeing how the rugs were made was very interesting. It was so nice having someone guide us through all of the alleyways and streets. I can’t recommend this tour enough! Fabulous!”
