We only saw the Jewish quarter and the souks, while the Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs, which were included in the tour, were not visited by the guide. He also took us to see a very small museum/palace where a private party was being prepared, with about 200 people working there, so we couldn't even pass through and there was a lot of confusion. In addition to stopping repeatedly to talk to friends, the guide made us go into a carpet shop for 40 minutes. They should refund my money because not only…”

“On a private tour, you would expect the guide to show you the main sights and provide a well-rounded experience. Instead, most of the time was spent visiting overpriced shops where it was clear the guide was receiving a kickback. We specifically asked for more historical sites rather than shopping, but were only taken to the school and the secret gardens. For a six-hour tour at the price we paid, we expected much more.”
