How to find a reliable guide in Morocco?

June 4, 2014 5:52 AM

My husband and I are travelling to Morroco in a few weeks, with stops in Fes, Marrakech, and Taghazout. I'd love to hire a guide for the day for at least Fes and Marrakech. How can we find a reputable one and avoid getting ripped off? Any personal recommendations would be awesome.

I don't have recommendation for a particular guide, but if you're staying in a riad in Marrakech (memail me for my recommendation), ask the proprietor. They probably won't steer you wrong because you know where they live* and they want to stay in your good graces. If they deliver the goods, be sure to go on Trip Advisor or Booking.com or another review site and spread the word for what fabulous stand-up guys they are. The converse is also true.

* Obviously, I'm joking about this, but they do want to keep your custom and aren't likely to screw you over.
