We had a private walking tour with a guide, Hamza, who could not have been better. He was extremely polite and informative and was so enthusiastic about his work.
He not only took us to the Sadian Tombs, Bahir Palace and the Koutoubia mosque, he also showed us around the Jewish district, as well as taking us to a local argan cooperative where we met another great man named Ibrahim who was really lovely.
Hamza was patient with us and not only allowed us, but encouraged us to take as many photographs as we could. He was clearly very proud of his country and this city and it was so refreshing to have someone be so passionate about their work.
Hamza took us to a great place for lunch when we were finished and he also took us to the airport when we had to come home, no questions asked. Seeing the city was wonderful and it was a lot easier to navigate with a guide instead of trying to do it ourselves as we do not speak French or Arabic.
Hamza taught us so much about the local culture, about the fruits that are grown there, the flowers and the trees. He allowed us to stop and admire all of these wonderful things and he just was so insightful and it was such a pleasure to be with someone who was so lovely and talkative.
Hamza taught us about the desert that he and his family are from and we cannot wait to go back to experience this.
We only had a short stay in Morocco so this tour was essential for us, it allowed us to experience and see everything we wanted to in Marrakech whilst learning so much along the way.
It was such a wonderful day and I can't recommend it highly enough
