What people are saying about Menara Gardens

Overall rating

3.9 / 5

based on 360 reviews

It is a worthwhile trip, we enjoyed it very much. There are many days and hotels and transfers, local guides. I imagine it is very difficult to organize the logistics of all this. We just didn't like the first day's guide that just focused on taking us into stores to buy stuff and earn commissions. He didn't take a break for lunch, he didn't stop by the souks around Jemaa El Fna square and he also removed the Menara Garden from the itinerary on his own. I suspect he removed the Menara Garden as it is a public garden and he earns no commission from it. We had lunch at 4 pm and we were starving. Apart from that, the rest was very nice, we got to know many things even in Morocco and I can say that it was worth it. Hotels are good, everything functional. I would do it again and recommend it. Points for the Dino guide.

A bad experience not to be repeated. From not picking us up at the Riad, as indicated, to not complying with the tour itinerary that was described, the absurd amount we paid did not include any entry fee. I advise everyone to book an excursion when you are in Marrakech and not through getyourguide. Finally the guide was simply the most unfriendly person I met in Marrakech. It was to close big. NOT TO REPEAT.

Our guide, Smalto, was so informative and gave the best tips to explore Marrakech. He ensured that we saw all the major landmarks/attractions and provided us with the history of each main area. He also gave us ample time to explore the palace and gardens on our own. Overall, would highly recommend this tour to see the highlights of Marrakech!

The guide was very good. The trip went smoothly and I would reccomend him.

Guide molto preparate , ottima gestione del tempo! Consigliato
