★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,989 reviews · 4 hours · from $18Our pick

Review of Marrakech’s 4-hour Medina tour, with the Koutoubia Mosque, Saadian Tombs, Bahia Palace, souks, costs, and practical tips.

“Bader was really an excellent tour guide; a walking encyclopedia so to say. A great tour to start your Morocco adventure. We were able to visit a stunning Riad, the Saadian Tombs but not the Palace as it was closed today (not the tour guide fault). We had better understanding of the history and the significant diverse architectural and culture of Marrakesh and of Morocco.”
