It's wonderful to meet you! I'm Lahoucine, and I've been a licensed tour guide in Marrakech for 26 years. My journey into guiding began after studying for seven years here in Marrakech, a city I came to love after growing up in the desert. While I faced challenges finding work initially, I discovered my true calling in guiding, and I've never looked back. For me, guiding is more than just reciting facts; it's like teaching. I believe in constantly learning, reading, and gaining new knowledge to enrich every tour. My goal is to make you happy, providing a personalized and insightful experience that goes beyond what you might find in guidebooks. I love sharing my own background and perspectives, focusing on the lesser-known cultural details that truly bring Marrakech to life. I'm always flexible and adaptable, ensuring the tour meets your unique interests. My most popular tours highlight the historical sites and vibrant souks (markets) of Marrakech. I love delving into the rich history of this city and guiding you through its bustling alleys. While I primarily focus on Marrakech, I'm open to discussing tours outside the city as well. I'm truly excited about the opportunity to connect with travelers and share the magic of Marrakech with you. My guiding philosophy aligns perfectly with creating a human, personalized travel experience, and I look forward to making your visit unforgettable.

I will meet you in the main Square ( Jamaa El fna) in front of Café de France and start your private shopping experience from there. Your first stop will be to learn about the Moroccan spices and herbs believed to cure diseases in addition to natural cosmetics such as Argan oil. Then wander around the shops ,visit cooperatives run by the locals: support artisans, men and women and guarantee the best quality. To see women working handicraft, we will visit a local cooperative for Moroccan women. Here, you can find a variety of fabulous hand-made rugs and learn about Arab and Berber tribes which invent this art. Follow your guide to the winding streets, reach areas often missed by travelers. Most important walk through the artisan section, see artisans making crafts such as leather, copper, blacksmith .... Walk deeper inside the souks to see slipper makers.
