  • Explore the historic Medina of Marrakech with a knowledgeable local guide
  • Admire the courtyards and architecture of Bahia Palace
  • Wander through colourful souks and discover Moroccan handicrafts
  • See the iconic Koutoubia Mosque and learn its history
  • Soak up the atmosphere of Jemaa el-Fna Square
Discover the Red City on foot with a local guide who knows its streets, stories and craftspeople. We start in the old Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where narrow alleys, traditional houses and carved doorways reveal centuries of Moroccan history. We visit Bahia Palace for its courtyards, colourful mosaics, stucco work and carved cedarwood ceilings, then continue to the Koutoubia Mosque, seen from the outside, as the prayer areas are reserved for Muslims. From there we head into the souks, where leather goods, lanterns, carpets, spices, ceramics and textiles fill the lanes and artisans still use centuries-old techniques. We end at Jemaa el-Fna Square, with its musicians, storytellers, food stalls, orange juice vendors and street performers. This is a private tour at a comfortable pace, and the guide can lead it in English, French, Spanish or Arabic. It suits first-time visitors and returning travellers alike.
