Description
To better discover Marrakesh, enter an intricate maze of the narrow streets in the world of the souks. Protected from the sun by slatted awnings, you will find a variety of quarters established by craftsmen, according to a structured system of corporation. There are souks of basketwork, dried fruit, spices, clothes, wool, skins, Berber carpet, leatherwork, ironwork, jewelry and more! Some souks of note include the Rue du Souk Smarine which leads into the Place rahba Kedima, where a slave market was once held, it remains an important commercial site. There are also a few apothecary shops here and there. There will be time for bargaining!
Next we will visit Djemaa El Fna. This traditional meeting place for peasants and merchants from the Sous region, the High atlas and the South, has become the heart of Marrakech. In the mornings this large square is crowded with fruit and spice sellers, guerrab with their leather water bottles and metal drinking cups, basket sellers, ironmongers and barbers. In the afternoons come the Gnaoua dancers descended from former Guinean slaves, musicians, story tellers, snake charmers and entertainers with performing monkeys!

Superó las expectativas
Una de las mejores cosas que hicimos en Marrakech. Pagamos bastante menos que otras opciones y la experiencia fue igual de buena. La organización se notó, cero improvisación. Nos tocó un guía excelente, con mucha data y buen humor. Nos encantó la zona de Medina Embalse del Yeso. Una experiencia que vale cada minuto.

A wonderful experience
A really well rounded experience. The talk at Medina really stayed with us. The guide managed the group impeccably, nobody got left behind. I have already recommended it to two friends travelling next month.

Casi perfecto
Buena opción para conocer Buenos Aires. La atención previa a la reserva fue muy clara con todas nuestras dudas. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. Volvimos dos veces a Famosa Praça Djemaa El Fna en el mismo día. Que venga con tour guiado en español es un gran plus. El voucher tardó unas horas en llegar y me puse nervioso. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.

Muy buena atención
Una experiencia redonda. El punto de encuentro estaba bien indicado y fácil de ubicar. El guía nos dio recomendaciones de dónde comer que resultaron buenísimas. Si volvemos a Marrakech, lo repetimos.

Um bom passeio, sem ser inesquecível. A natureza do lugar desconecta você completamente. Muito bom incluir transporte ida e volta nos hotéis. Ciudad de Marruecos foi o fecho do dia. A confirmação demorou um dia para chegar e nos deixou nervosos. Com esses detalhes ajustados seria nota 10.

A real pleasure
It flew by and we wanted more. We went back to Ciudad de Marruecos on our own the next day. I compared prices before booking and this was the best deal. Punctual and smooth, no hiccups.
