Couples’ Private Tours in Marrakech – Full-Day Romantic Walking Itinerary

What is the most romantic way for two to discover Marrakech on foot?

For couples, the best day in Marrakech is a private walk at your own pace, quiet derbs and riad courtyards in the morning, the souks of Semmarine and the lantern makers of Souk Haddadine, lunch on a rooftop, the restored gardens of Le Jardin Secret or the blue walls of Majorelle Garden, a hammam for two, and sunset over Jemaa el-Fna and the Koutoubia minaret. A private guide takes only the two of you, picks you up at your riad or hotel, and shapes the day around what you love, history, photos, shopping or food. Private walks from 900 MAD for 1 to 2 people, about 3 hours, every day. Message Us On WhatsApp or use our Booking Form.

Marrakech is made for two. A riad with a fountain and orange trees behind a plain cedar door, mint tea on a rooftop as the call to prayer rolls across the city, a copper lantern you choose together for your first home, the smoke of the grills on Jemaa el-Fna at dusk. Honeymoons, anniversaries, a first trip together, a quiet proposal on a terrace facing the Atlas, couples come to the Red City for moments like these.

Visit Marrakech Medina, The Best Shopping and Walking Tour Company in Marrakech, has guided couples through the Medina since 2004. Our guiding is Recommended By Rick Steves, and our Medina walk was featured by Daniel Jacobs in The Rough Guide To Morocco.
