Discover an oasis of peace and quiet in the wonderful chaos of this vibrant destination. Be seduced by the beauty of Majorelle Garden, known for its many colors and artistic landscape. See the Cubist villa designed by the French architect Paul Sinoir in the 1930s. Wander among the cactus gardens and other exotic plants.

  Our tour guide from H&L looked after us really well from start to finish. He was on time friendly & really informative. We had a lovely morning running in to early afternoon & even threw in an extra detour via the Palmerie to show us some baby camels &whistle stop fir done refreshing mint tea. He is a Berber and suggested some other interesting overnight excursions left us his card for when we return again. Would definitely use him and his company again &would not hesitate to recommend him &this tour. The only thing I would suggest is less time at Menard 30 minutes as there is only really a lake there, but really peaceful, and the extra 40 minutes at La Majorelle gardens as we would have liked a little longer there. The gardens at La Majorelle were amazing.

  3. Marrakech: EcoScooter City Tour

  Enjoy a 1 or 2-hour EcoScooter tour with a local group leader. Either follow a predefined private tour program to discover the most important places in Marrakech or define your own private itinerary and visit the sights you're most interested in.  Start the tour from Sofitel Hotel Esplanade and head to the famous Koutoubia mosque where you will start a short visit to Jamaa El Fna Square, The Souks and the Medina (From Bab Ftouh to Bab Laksour). Then, continue to Gueliz, the contemporary quarter of Marrakech, which is home to craft shops, chic stores, and exclusive boutiques. Make a shortstop in the Menara Gardens, built during the period of the Saadian Dynasty in the 16th-century. Surround yourself by beautiful orchards and olive groves. Finally, end the tour back at Sofitel Hotel Esplanade.

  Great couple of hours scooting round the city. I was on my own and very well looked after by my guide, who always turned left before me making sure traffic behind knew where we were going - not a given with drivers here. Kasbah, Royal Palace, and newer areas north of the Medina were all seen and I recommend this if you would like a few interesting and fun hours
