Question 1

What are the best tours to do in Marrakesh?

Accepted Answer

The Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs and souks walk is the classic first day — it covers the monuments most visitors come for, plus the Kasbah and Mellah. The Ben Youssef Madrasa and Secret Garden route works well as a second, taking you into quieter corners of the medina. Compare the tours above and book directly.

Question 2

Which languages are the tours in?

Accepted Answer

Between them, our Marrakesh tours run in English, French, Spanish, Italian and Arabic, though not every departure offers every language. The languages for each tour are listed on its own page — check before booking.

Question 3

Are monument entry tickets included?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the tour. Each listing states exactly which sites are included and which are paid separately on the day, so check the inclusions before you book. The free tour of the medina is a walking introduction and does not include paid monument entry.

Question 4

Can I go inside the Koutoubia Mosque?

Accepted Answer

No — like most working mosques in Morocco, the Koutoubia is closed to non-Muslims. Our tours take in the minaret, the gardens and the surrounding area from the outside, which is where its famous view is anyway.

Question 5

What should I wear for a tour of the medina?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable closed shoes are the main thing — the lanes are uneven and busy with mopeds. Modest clothing covering shoulders and knees is appreciated, particularly around religious sites, and in summer a hat and water are essential.

Question 6

Do I need a guide, or can I explore the souks alone?

Accepted Answer

You can certainly wander alone, and you should at some point. But the medina is genuinely disorienting, and a guide gets you into the palaces and workshops with the context that makes them worth seeing — and saves you from the unofficial "guides" who attach themselves to visitors near Jemaa el-Fna.

Question 7

Do I need to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

Booking ahead is recommended, especially in spring and autumn when Marrakech is busiest. You can check availability and reserve directly on each tour listing.
