Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this and a group tour?

This is a completely private experience. You won't be joined by strangers. The itinerary is 100% flexible and built around your interests, questions, and pace. Your guide is dedicated solely to your group, offering deeper insights, handling all interactions, and adapting the day on the fly—something impossible in a large group.

Are entrance fees and lunch included?

The guide's time and expertise are included. Entrance fees to monuments (like Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs - approx. €10-15 total per person) and the cost of lunch are not included. This allows you the freedom to choose which sites to enter and where/what to eat. Your guide will manage ticket purchases on the spot and recommend dining options for every budget.

How do we customize the tour?

Customization happens in two ways:

  • 1. Pre-tour: After booking, we may contact you to understand your interests.
  • 2. On the day: The tour starts with a conversation with your guide. Simply tell them what you love (history, food, shopping, photography) and what you'd like to skip. They will instantly propose a perfect route. Want more time in the souks? Less time at palaces? It's all possible.
