Rachid gave us a ver informative tour. Although we had arrived a day early and had found our way around by ourselves he enhanced the experience by embellishing the tour with historical information providing insight and understanding to this beautiful city. Thank you for the opportunity to see it through local eyes. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Rachid was a wonderful guide and very responsive when we intitially reached out to TourByLocal. Very knowledgeable about the city, the area, and Morocco in general, provided many excellent recommendations and of course friendly. Highlight of the tour was visiting the local market where we picked our fish then grilled at nearby restaurant. Highly recommend.
