Hi! I'm Mohamed — a nationally licensed tour guide based in Marrakech. First of all, thank you for choosing Morocco as your travel destination — you're in for a beautiful experience! I was born and raised in the heart of Marrakech, and I'm proud to call this vibrant, colorful city my home. Guiding isn’t just my profession — it’s my passion. I’ve spent years sharing the magic of Marrakech with visitors from around the world, and nothing makes me happier than helping others discover its charm, beauty, and hidden corners. Whether you’re curious about the city’s history, intrigued by its architecture, or simply want to wander the souks and taste local life, I’m here to tailor your experience to what excites you most. From ancient medina alleyways to stunning palaces, from cultural insights to everyday stories — I’ll bring the city to life for you. While Marrakech is my specialty, I also offer guided tours beyond the city — including day trips and multi-day excursions to places like Essaouira, the Atlas Mountains, Ouarzazate, and the desert. Whether you're interested in nature, heritage, or artisan villages, I’d be happy to help you explore Morocco more deeply. I’m fully certified by the Ministry of Tourism and hold an official guiding license, a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature, and a First Aid Certificate. For tours that require transportation, I arrange comfortable, private vehicles with trusted professional drivers to ensure your journey is smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible guide who knows Marrakech — and Morocco — inside out, I’d be delighted to show you around. Let’s make your visit truly unforgettable!

Overview of your Marrakech tour

I will pick you up from your accommodation to start an exciting private tour of Marrakech. We begin at Majorelle Gardens, a peaceful oasis with vibrant plants and serene paths. Booking tickets in advance is mandatory; I am not responsible if tickets are sold out. If needed, I can replace this visit with the Secret Gardens. Next, we visit Bab Agnaou, admired for its stonework and Arabic calligraphy, and explore the historic Jewish Quarter. Then we continue to the stunning Bahia Palace, with its intricate tiles, carved wood, and shaded courtyards built for Bou Ahmed. We’ll wander through the lively medina and souks, visiting the bustling Blacksmith Market (El Heddadine) and colorful Dyers Market, where artisans craft metalwork and dye fabrics traditionally. The tour finishes at the impressive Ben Youssef Madrasa, renowned for its intricate architecture and rich history. This private, customizable tour offers a cultural experience with comfortable transport and a knowledgeable local guide.

LOOK NO FURTHER! Mo is the guide you want. We just completed our tour with Mo, and we can't say enough great things about the experience. He took us to places we never would have discovered on our own and made us feel like we were traveling with an old friend. Mo is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, genuinely kind, and exceptionally thoughtful. He anticipated our needs, kept us hydrated, and struck the perfect balance between guiding us and letting us explore at our own pace. We truly couldn't have asked for a better guide. As first-time visitors to Morocco, Mo made our trip unforgettable and left us eager to come back again and again. Morocco is a beautiful country filled with wonderful people, and Mo is a native who embodies the warmth, hospitality, and generosity that made our visit so special. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience.

After touring the market/medina with Mohammed the night before, we came back the next day for a full day tour. Once again, Mohammed was awesome! Everything you expect from a TBL guide - knowledgeable, fun, no wasted time. He would have us buzz around lines to the front as an official guide (yes there are differences between guides and drivers). The tour was as described. But please note...if you want to see the gardens you must have pre-paid passes (it fills up quickly)..so coordinate with your guide in advance. 'Mo" advised us...we bought the tickets early...no problem (you don't want to miss them).

We had an exceptional experience with Mohamed as our tour guide in Marrakech. He guided our family of four—ranging in age from 75 to 26—through two tours in the same day, and his service was outstanding from start to finish. Mohamed was incredibly accommodating to our needs, making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the day. His knowledge of Marrakech is impressive, and he shared insights in a way that was both informative and enjoyable. He also took absolutely stunning photos for us, which made the experience even more memorable. On top of that, he speaks both Spanish and English perfectly, which made communication seamless. Mohamed is kind, professional, and truly passionate about what he does. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Marrakech—you will be in excellent hands!

Mohamed's excellent communication prior to our arrival gave us trust and confidence. It was our first visit to Morocco and it felt great to know we would be in such good hands. When we actually met, it was like meeting an old friend. Mohamed is simply the best tour guide we ever had. He was flexible and knowledgeable and had great pride in his heritage, as he gave us the most wonderful introduction to Marrakech. He understood our interests and made sure the tour was everything we wanted. And his humor and hospitality were more than we could have hoped for. Marrakech was definitely the highlight of our trip, though it was only a two day visit. We packed in a lot, but never felt rushed. His continuous kindness and patience were comforting and much appreciated. We just had so much fun and now have the best memories. I don't see how our short visit to Marrakech could have been nearly so wonderful if we had not had Mohamed. We saw and learned so much, enjoyed every minute of it and hated to say goodbye. (Plus the day after our tour we got a little lost, though we were close to our Riad, and a quick reply from Mohamed got us back on track.) If you are debating whether or not Tours By Locals with Mohamed is worth it, we assure you it is. We have friends who want to go to Marrakech and we're telling everyone to book a tour. And hope very much our paths cross again. Thank you, Mohamed, for everything! Cathy and Gary

Mohamed was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of Morocco as a country and its beautiful culture. His tour was thoughtful and well planned out, making sure that we were walking around when the temperature was comfortable, and inside or shady routes when the weather was warmer. His full day tour was comprehensive and taking us to all the important, historic locations in Marrakech, including a wonderful, peaceful lunch spot. He was accommodating and flexible when we took detours to do some shopping. We would definitely consider touring with him in the future! We highly recommend his tour!
