5.00Had a fantastic day walking Marrakech with Maaffar. It was a small group (two families) so it felt personal and attentive. He was adaptive and kept checking in with us to confirm our continued interest and comfort, and kept us engaged and entertained through his high levels of knowledge about Moroccan history and culture. I could not recommend this any more highly.
Professionalism

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!

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.
An unforgettable deep dive into Marrakech!

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!
