“Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. However, I thought we would have food or tea tastings. Instead, toward the end of the tour we received a very small portion of dry nuts from the Souk and a softdrink. That's all. I think tastings should be removed from the description. Also, we misssed a lot of the market because of the time of night, many merchants were closed. I would suggest starting the walking tour earlier and on time.”

“Tour not recommended!!!! We paid for a tour and didn't see what was written in the program. We only saw the Jewish quarter and the souks, while the Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs, which were included in the tour, were not visited by the guide. He also took us to see a very small museum/palace where a private party was being prepared, with about 200 people working there, so we couldn't even pass through and there was a lot of confusion. In addition to stopping repeatedly to talk to friends, the guide made us go into a carpet shop for 40 minutes. They should refund my money because not only…”

11.Customized Guided Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 82 reviews · 3 - 6 hours · from $64

Guides speak Arabic, French, English, German, and Spanish. The route can include Bahia Palace, Koutoubia, Saadian Tombs, Menara Gardens, and artisan workshops.

“On a private tour, you would expect the guide to show you the main sights and provide a well-rounded experience. Instead, most of the time was spent visiting overpriced shops where it was clear the guide was receiving a kickback. We specifically asked for more historical sites rather than shopping, but were only taken to the school and the secret gardens. For a six-hour tour at the price we paid, we expected much more.”
