Book on one of Maffar’s tours - it’s worth it!

5.00Maffar was such a great guide and full of recommendations for things to do and eat in Marrakech - he was even so generous as to drop me off at my hotel after the tour had finished late at night to save me having to get a taxi and the expense of it, as it was a little way out of the medina. Maffar is full of interesting information of Marrakech and morroco and it seems like everyone knows him in the authentic parts and true Marrakech communities. Highly recommend his tours - and particularly the food tour in the evening!
Interesting city tour

5.00There were only two of us with our guide Mohamed. Therefore, the tour did not go as described. That wasn't a problem. We could coordinate all sightseeing points with him and he could explain a lot. Highly recommended!
The great time we spent with Maaffar

5.00Maaffar is an excellent guide. He is very open and friendly. He is very committed to his work. Together with my family, we spent several hours walking with Maaffar around the Medina in Marrakech. It was a valuable time, we learned a lot about history and got to know many details. I highly recommend the services of Maaffar Travel Agency.

5.00This city tour was the highlight of our Moroccan vacation! We had an excellent guide who was not just very knowledgeable but also very friendly and passionate about the history and culture of Marrakech. We saw the Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, and the crowded souks as we learned about the rich cultural heritage of the city in a very enjoyable and interactive way. The tour's pace was just right to allow us to view each location without hastiness. The guide also provided wonderful local information and even assisted in directing us through the crowded medina, which made the experience so much more stress-free and enjoyable. Whether you're visiting Marrakech for the first time or would like to discover more off-the-beaten-path gems, this tour is a must. It is highly recommended for anyone desiring to feel the genuine soul of the city!

5.00Genuine way to know Moroccan culture. We discover the secrets of the Medina through the craft work of its different artisans, a task that has been repeated for hundreds of years in the same way. The joy of designing the gardens of a palace in the middle of the Medina and the whole history of the formation of a fascinating country. A free tour full of useful data. Hussein amazing guide!

5.00We were recommended Maaffar as a outstanding tour operator and we were not disappointed. The contact with our tour guide before the meeting was exceptional, and at the day of our tour he was waiting for us in front of our riad. We spent together 5 hours, having great time together. We also got many useful recommendations for the rest of our trip. We were shown the places that wouldn’t be able to find ourselves. We highly recommended Maaffar.
Great intro to Marrakech

5.00I could not have asked for a better guide than Maafar - he is supremely knowledgeable about the history, culture and life of Marrakech, and is dedicated to sharing that effectively. His passion and dynamic personality made for a terrific experience, and I highly recommend Maafar and this tour - and particularly early in one’s visit to Marrakech.
Great Day
