Palaces, souks and hidden courtyards with a licensed local guide

Discover the Red City

The Marrakech medina is a maze, and the best way to understand it is with someone who grew up there. On this private Marrakech city tour, a licensed guide takes you through nine centuries of history, from the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque to the carved cedar and zellige of the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and the craft souks, before ending at Jemaa el-Fna as it comes alive.
