Visit of the old town (Medina) with an official guide from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. We organized a guided tour of the medina of Marrakech with an official guide and a detailed map of the medina of Marrakech on which we highlight the hiking routes, restaurants, monuments and other sites of interest.
On a private guided tour of the Marrakech Medina, you can explore the Medina and visit monuments without worrying about getting lost your own way. It will depend on whether you choose a half day guided tour of the medina or a full day guided tour of the medina.
