Marrakech: Saadian Tombs & Bahia Palace, Medina Guided Tour

1.Saadian Tombs & Bahia Palace, Medina Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★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.”

Fes: A Guided Walking Tour Through the Historic Medina

10.Fes: A Guided Walking Tour Through the Historic Medina

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 97 reviews · 3 hours · from $15Best value

Review of a $15 guided walk through Fez medina, with madrasas, Chouara Tannery, Blue Gate, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“La guida ci ha portato per le vie strette di Fez, ma si è limitata a farci vedere alcuni scorci senza particolari approfondimenti storici o culturali. Ci ha portato soprattutto in negozi tipici che, per quanto caratteristici, erano spesso mirati alla vendita degli oggetti al loro interno. I negozi sono sicuramente di qualità più alta rispetto a quelli che si trovano nel resto della Medina, ma in un tour guidato ci aspettavamo di immergerci più nella storia che non nelle attività commerciali.”
