Salam and Marhaba! Welcome to Morocco, the land of the setting sun. ​I am an official, licensed tour guide with the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism (License G/N 814) with over 20 years of experience sharing the wonders of my country. I holds degrees in English Literature and Socio-Linguistics from Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech, and spent time teaching before dedicating my career to tourism. ​Marrakech is a city blessed with a wonderful climate, cheerful people, and breathtaking sights. After years of collaborating with major travel companies, I now specialize in designing customized, flexible, and deeply informative tours for families, small groups, and solo travelers. My goal is simple: to bring both the vibrant magic and the authentic reality of Morocco close to your soul and eyes. ​Beyond guiding, I offer comprehensive travel assistance, local tips, and activity planning. While I am a licensed professional driver myself, I always use private, comfortable, air-conditioned tourist vehicles with a dedicated driver, allowing me to focus entirely on being your personal expert. ​If you are planning to visit our beautiful country, I am ready to serve you. Cheers!

Simo was very knowledgeable and was able to adapt the tour because of a holiday where many people in the souks were gone. He communicated before hand the limited souks. The tour did end much earlier because of that. The only negative was the slower pace than our group was use to. Although my wife appreciated the slow pace as she was able to duck into various places and look at items she might want to explore later and still easily catchup with the group. Simo would be perfect for older people with some mobility issues.

Simo was excellent. This was a very interesting tour that allowed us to learn the history and evolution of the souks rather than simply facilitating shopping. It was a lot of fun and super interesting. Highly recommended.

Sino was excellent. He brought a side of the Medina to life for us that we wouldn’t have been able to do ourselves.

Simo was great guide. He combined history, culture, artisan information & stories to help appreciate & understand Morocco from a local perspective. Would highly recommend his guidance for any tour.

We had a great time with Simo exploring the souk and learning the history and culture of Marrakech. This tour was the highlight of our visit to Morocco and we were able to walk the Sauk later with confidence and felt less tourist, although we still got lost in the Sauk on our own ;).
