Long day with a 3hr drive to Marrakesh and back. We saw the essentials of Marrakesh, the Mosque, the souk, the Bahia Palace, and the main square. The guide was very good, very knowledgeable and friendly. However we were frog marched through the souk, with no opportunity to browse or buy, until we reached a herbal remedy shop, with a pre arranged visit. Here we had to endure a 45minute talk and hard sell of products I wasn't remotely interested in, at a rip off prices. Took the edge off the day for me, and I would advise a modification. 45 minutes wasted of our 5hr visit.
In conclusion, I saw enough of Marrakesh. The tour was was good. Its a dirty, horrible smelly noisy place, that I have no desire to visit again.
