PRIVATE TOUR
Marrakech Half Day Tours:
Unforgettable Moroccan Experiences
An endless bazaar—noisy, festive, vibrant, filled with smells and the shouts of vendors. "Hello, how are you?", "wonderful, and you?", "have a great day," "And you too," "Hello"... Snake charmers, fortune tellers, real "sorcerers," quack doctors, and street acrobats. Rub any lamp, and a genie or even a peri might appear. Rub any lamp, and a genie or even a peri might appear. Hypnotic music of Sub-Saharan Africa and the jewelry of the Amazigh with hidden meanings, palaces, shacks, and artisan shops where unimaginable beauty is created before you. Just open the right door, and the riot of colors and sounds gives way to the coolness of a riad and the quiet, broken only by the murmur of water in a fountain. And again, a labyrinth of narrow medieval alleys where, losing hope of finding your way out, you can wander for hours, marveling at curiosities and listening to fascinating stories. Immersing yourself in the world of Marrakech Medina is an exciting adventure. Our Marrakech half-day or day tours will show you how to feel at home in this beautiful chaos, be in your element, and what rules to follow so that no unpleasant experience spoils your trip. We will help you uncover many of its secrets, learn its history and traditions, and—this we know for sure—fall in love with it wholeheartedly. Our Marrakech private tours offer you an unforgettable journey into this magical world.
But our stories aren't just fun tales—they're based on solid research. During our Marrakech tours, we dive deep into the history, culture, economy, and anthropology of the region, giving you a full picture of today's society. Visit!

What We'll See:
Iconic Landmarks and Hidden Gems of Marrakech Medina
We offer two different routes through the Medina. The Orange Route is more traditional, featuring numerous palaces and museums and the Jewish Quarter. The Green Route is more contemporary, with palaces and museums, but also modern art and design galleries.
No matter which route you choose, we will definitely see one of the most beautiful palaces in the Maghreb, adorned with luxurious mosaics and paintings, ancient mosques, and caravanserais. We'll gawk at the work of artisans and street performers at Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. We'll get lost in the medieval alleys, peek into hidden courtyards, and visit the spice market with chameleons and turtles. We'll enjoy the coolness of orange gardens and mint tea on a shady terrace. And, of course, we'll sample the delights of Moroccan cuisine on our walking tour in Marrakech.

What We'll Learn:
Unlock the Secrets of Medina on one of the Best Private Marrakech Tours
We will tell you about the history and present-day life of the country. You will learn how some fascinating traditions were formed and their practical meanings.

We'll explore how absolute power and personal freedom, medieval customs, and innovative technologies coexist in Morocco.

This Marrakech tour is available in two options: the Orange Route (traditional) and the Green Route (our personal favorite). The choice is up to you. We can combine both routes into a day tour of Marrakech. Or if you prefer, we can even stray off the beaten path and embark on a journey to the unknown. After all, this is a private tour :)
* We highly recommend taking the tour to the Atlas Mountains after to experience a completely different culture—the Amazigh. Or take a tour of modern Marrakech to see its other side—contemporary and dynamic. And of course, don't forget to ride quad bikes or have dinner under the stars in the Agafay Desert, take a hot air balloon ride, or visit the pirate city of Essaouira on the ocean.
It's advisable to decide on tours you would like to take as early as possible, ideally to book them right after buying your airplane tickets. That way we will make sure we have a guide for you and our meeting will definitely take place :) If you make a last-minute decision to take a tour, do not hesitate to contact us either. We will do our best to arrange a guide for you to show you the country.
We will definitely agree on it well in advance! Then, two days before the tour date, a reminding email with the name and the phone number of your guide, the exact location of the meeting point and its photo will be sent to you. Please do not miss this letter. Thanks! :)
Sure. We love to plan individual programs more than anything else. In addition to our existing tours, a boat or a yacht trip could be included; a hot air balloon flight, designer shops and art gallery tours, various workshops, tastings, university tours, castle visiting and much, much more. In addition, we adore arranging multi-day bicycle trip programs around the country. Arranging an individual program is a paid service. Let us know your personal wishes and we will do our best to make it happen!
Perhaps, you still have some questions. This is what we get asked about most of the time.
