The driver picked us up from the hotel on time and drove comfortably from Casablanca to Marrakech in about 2.5 hours. There we were welcomed by our guide. The guide - in German - made a lot of effort to show us a lot of Marrakech in a limited amount of time.

Great entertaining tour of the breathtaking city of Marrakech

With the consistently personable guide Mr. Azzedin we enjoyed a great tour of Marrakesh. The driver was very attentive during the 3.5 hour drive and we were able to enjoy the landscape. As the first stop in the city, we visited the highlight Jardin Majorelle with exhibitions Yves Saint Laurent. Then it went towards the center to the Coutoubia Mosque and the Bahija Palace. From there to the Jewish quarter and through the Kasbah. In a herb shop we enjoyed a great insight into German (!) With many details and were ultimately at the juggler square and in the souks. Highly recommended tour !!!
