    Ismael was a great guide! He kept close communication and responded to late notices very fast. He was very knowledgeable and easy-going. I absolutely loved experience in the common baking area - had no idea that it exists! Only locals would guide you through such experience! Thanks again for the tour and absolutely suggest this to anyone visiting Marrakesh!

    I highly recommend this free walking tour with Ismael. I thought we were going to visit the well-known tourist attractions in Marrakech. But he took us to places no one ever talked about. If it is your first time visiting Marrackech, I would suggest joining this tour as it will give you more understanding about the history and culture of Marrakech and Morocco in general. So happy I joined this tour! I am only here in Morocco for a few days, but I am going back home with lots of stories to share! Thank you, Ismael!

    It was absolutely brilliant. Enjoyed every minute of it. Ishmael is very knowledgeable about Marrakech and it's history. He had the tour very easy to see through the Medina and the souls of Marrakech. Highly recommended of you are in Marrakech!

    Ismael was a lovely, friendly guide who offered great insight into Moroccan culture. The souks of the Old Medina are a labyrinth, so I'd definitely recommend starting your first day in Marrakech with this tour. It gave us a good understanding of the souks and a few reference points to guide us when we went back. It's pay-what-you-want at the end so no need to worry about getting ripped off!

    What a great experience!!! The beauty of the Atlas mountains is breathtaking. And so are the Berber people. This is the best way to see the lives of the locals through their own eyes. It should be mandatory at every visit to Morocco.

    Very interesting tour about Marrakech, culture and food. Ismael is an nice tour guide, who knows a lot about the city and is happy to answer any question. He gave us a good overview about Marrakech and I can totally recommend the free walking tour with Ismael.

    Ismael is an amazing guide! Our group was 14 people and the tour was very interesting and most important- it's a tour WITHOUT shopping. Ismael told us so many interesting facts, he was extremely funny and had very clever jokes connected to the theme. We felt so good while touring with him. We recommend him VERY MUCH!

    Highly recommended!! We did the free walking tour with Ismael and we were very pleased with it! I'm fairly sure that we would not have been able to find many of the places ourselves that Ismael showed us. You get to see markets where the locals go to shop. It's a really authentic experience! Ismael speaks excellent English and was able to answer all my questions I had! Great tour!

    Ismael was great! He took us to cool different neighborhoods inside the medina and explained bits about the culture & history of Marrakech. The tour took about 2.5 hours and it was mostly in shaded areas inside the medina. Highly recommended.

    Ismael was outstanding, professional and informative. We learned so much about Marrakech and he went above and beyond, with the thought in mind that it was all free. I'd recommend anyone to use Ismael, you will learn to love Marrakech as we did.

    My tour guide Ismael was fantastic. He was punctual and was waiting for me at the assigned meeting area. He was warm, friendly and spoke perfect English. Our first stop was a convenient place to get a cheap bottle of cold water. (Very Considerate) The tour was very informative and wasted no time. Every stop was interesting and well explained. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Marrakech for the first time take this tour and get a good understanding of the layout, plus some great local tips. (Great restaurants, how to bargain, where to go and not to go and where to get a cold beer.) Ismael is the only one I would recommend. Book it now and tip well. He’s got two kids at home!🙏

    Lovely experience with Ismael wandering the Medina market. Learned a lot and got good tips. He kept us cool and entertained. Thank you, Ismael!

  • 5/5 jane l. 10 months ago on Google
    Ismael was a fabulous your guide, both knowledgeable and informative. He navigated us through the alleyways with ease, and showed us a diverse range of areas within the Medina. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Jasper W. 1 year ago on Google
    We did the tip-based walking tour with Ismael and can't recommend it more! A great way to experience Marrakech from a local perspective, wandering through hidden alleyways in the old Medina and seeing some of the souks from a non-touristic perspective. Ismael was giving a lot of information that brought the places to life - not only describing what we were seeing, but also about different aspects of the Moroccan culture in general.

  • 5/5 G B. 9 months ago on Google
    Ismael did an outstanding job of sharing his knowledge of this amazing city with us! We could not have been more happy with the the tour!! Even though the tour is free we decided to tip him double of what we planned to tip him. Thank you Ismael!!

  • 5/5 Serene C. 10 months ago on Google
    Today we had a 4 hour experience at the Medina with our guide Ismael, wondering efficiently in the labyrinth and the market square, learning about the history, culture and local products of Morocco and Marrakech. It is amazing to meet inspired local craftsmen who proudly present their skills and hand crafts. We ended the tour with some best buys, a great meal and took the cleanest tuk tuk home!

  • 5/5 Jacqueline S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a very enjoyable walking tour with Ismael. He was so knowledgeable and obviously loved to share that knowledge with visitors. We were late arriving to the tour but he let us know exactly where the tour would be at the time we arrived so it was no problem finding them. We appreciated the quick communication from him. He took us to parts of the souk (market) that we wouldn’t have found or known about without him. Would highly recommend booking the walking tour with Ismael!!!

  • 5/5 Paula F. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m so glad I booked this tour. It was a great way to begin to understand the orientation of the city on our first day in Marrakesh. Ismael is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and responsive. We never felt pressured to purchase anything, but we’re able to meet local artists and vendors and see the “behind the scenes” on how crafts and Turkish coffee are made. Because of what we learned along the tour, we skipped our hotel’s average breakfast the next morning and ate traditional Moroccan soup for breakfast alongside the locals. Ismael takes a lot of pride in the local culture and is also very kind. Highly recommend!

    I always try to join free guiding tours whenever I’m travelling and must say the night tour guided by Ismael was one of my favourites so far! Ismael is a very good tour guide, has a lot of local knowledge. He shared a lot of details about the culture that we did not even notice (for example about the different events happening at the square). Moreover, he always has in his pocket some good tips and tricks on what to eat or buy in Marrakesh. Totally recommend!

  • 5/5 Pai V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great walking tour, very interesting to hear about the history and way of life of the local people. We walked through little passageways and parts of the Medina we might not have discovered on our own. Our tour guide Ismael was informative, knowledgeable and added a bit of humour as well, making the tour interesting and enjoyable. Despite the heavy rain during the tour, we still enjoyed it very much! Recommend the tour.

  • 5/5 Brandy-Courtney W. 1 year ago on Google
    Ismael was excellent! He really does give you a great journey through the Medina and the historical context of the area. He’s very thorough so be prepared to walk a lot with comfy shoes! It’s an absolute MUST tour!

  • 5/5 Kellee M. 1 year ago on Google
    We did the walking those this morning and Ismael was a fantastic guide! We had already walked around the medina in our own a bit before the tour, but he brought us to places that we hadn’t seen before and I don’t think would be very easy to find without a guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area and happy to provide information on any topic you’re interested in. I would absolutely recommend his tours! Thank you Ismael!

  • 5/5 Alexandra M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an awesome tour with Ismael! He is so knowledgeable about Marrakech and packed our 2.5 hours walking around the Medina with so much personal insight. He gave us tips on getting around, where to eat, and how to shape our next day of exploring. Absolutely take a tour with this group!

  • 5/5 Daniel D. 1 year ago on Google
    Ismael was very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Do it on your first day in Marrakech and you'll be set up for an amazing time. Easily one of the best walking tours I've ever done (spoken as someone who has done 20+)

  • 5/5 Tommy P. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fantastic time on the Marrakech with locals tour. Ismael was very knowledgeable and engaging. He covered the history of Marrakech touching on political, social and religious culture. It was a great way to get your bearings of the medina and the souks. I would thoroughly recommend and would mention again a big thanks to Ismael. Thomas and Emma UK 🇬🇧

  • 5/5 Silvia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Ismael is a great guide! We were a bit late but he waited for us at the meeting point, communication with him was good. The tour itself is very interesting! Ismael knows a lot about the city and is very engaging in explaining everything. Also a very polite and fun person. He showed us a lot of hidden gems, that we wouldn’t have found on our own. I can absolutely recommend the tour, you won’t regret it!

  • 5/5 Lyndon R. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm so glad I found Ismael from Marrakech WITH Locals. Ismael was very responsive to the booking and took us on a great journey through the sights and sounds of the Medina. His knowledge is amazing and the fact our kids learned will be great for school. The tour was at a comfortable pace and we saw many of the sights we would not have, if we were wandering ourselves. It gave us a great initial introduction to Marrakech which we able use later in the week. Thank you so much Ismael. you were superb I highly recommend your services.
