Itinerary

  • Gueliz (Pass By)

    Your Private City Tour starts at the ‘new city’, Gueliz & Hivernage, the modern side of Marrakech. The area was designed & built by the French in the early 1900s, and is today the thriving heart of the Red city, where you can spot popular international brands and fine cafés. You’ll also pass by its main avenue, that we love to call “the Champs Elysées of Marrakech”.

  • Koutoubia Mosque

    You'll then start your visit of the old town at the Koutoubia Mosque, a key piece in Morocco’s history, built during the 12th century under the Almohad Dynasty. Its minaret remains the tallest building in Marrakech so it can be visible from almost everywhere in the city, like a guiding star, helping you to get directions when you're lost.

    15 minutes

  • Bahia Palace

    Next, you'll visit the exquisite Bahia Palace that fascinates everyone by its fine Moorish architecture, gorgeous ceramic tiles and the majestic beauty of its colors.

    30 minutes

  • N/A (Pass By)

    -

  • Mellah

    Then, you'll walk through a very interesting part of the Medina, the Jewish Quarter (Mellah), which will help you understand the important role of the Jewish culture and community in developing the unique identity of Marrakech & Morocco.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    There, we'll invite you to a unique cultural trip back in time to discover the Farnatchi, where you can uncover the process of heating the water in traditional public steam baths, called hammams, which dates back to Roman times; the Farnatchi is also where some locals still bring their dishes (especially the typical Tanjia) to be slowly cooked in a wood-fired oven;

    10 minutes

  • Medersa Ben Youssef

    -

    30 minutes

  • Souk Semmarine

    The most comprehensive City Tour in Marrakech concludes in the largest souk district in Morocco, where merchants have been trading and selling their goods for the past 1000 years!! Get ready for a complete sensory overload! The combination of sounds, sights and smells are enough to leave even the most hardened of travelers feeling completely mesmerized.

    20 minutes

  • Medina of Marrakesh

    Afterwards, it'll be time to wander through the fascinating labyrinths of the world's most vibrant and colorful open-air marketplace: The Souks of Marrakech. Between bazaars full of charm & character, stalls packed with mysterious potions, colorful piles of spices, essential oils, exquisite hand-knotted rugs... you'll get to visit the leather souk, workshops of traditional woven Moroccan carpets & handmade Berber boucherouite (rugs), brass lamps & lanterns gallery, and so much more! Marrakech ranks among the great shopping cities of the world. With honest local knowledge by your side, you're in good hands to have a splendid time in the establishments that are worth your time, without worrying to guess where to shop and where not to shop. And even if you have no intention purchasing, this will be a super fun part of your City Tour to experience. You're in for a feast of the senses!

A Must Do Experience! See the real Marrakech

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide Oussama was so friendly and informative. He showed us the contrast between the new & old towns. We then went deep into the Kasbah & Souks, visiting parts where tourists do not go. We got to see the locals at work and their crafts while trying a few delicacies along the way too. Skipping the long queues at the palace, he gave us a great insight to the history & let us wander at our own pace. He truly made our trip to Marrakesh special and a very memorable one.

Great Private City Tour

We were picked up at our hotel by our guide Maya. He took us for a great tour of the principal sights in Marrakech and gave us a great insight into the history of the city and the country and of current affairs in the area.
