Overview

The medina of Marrakech is a thousand years of history in a maze of alleys, and three hours with a licensed guide is the fastest way to make sense of it. You see the Koutoubia, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and the main souks, you learn how to read a riad and a fountain, and you leave with the confidence to explore on your own for the rest of your stay.
