Marrakech: Private Tuk Tuk Tour with Pickup & Top Sights

Summary

Ride Marrakech’s maze in a tuk tuk—palaces, gardens, souks and surprises

You’ll hop into a private tuk tuk in Marrakech with your own driver (pickup included), winding through narrow streets to see Bahia Palace’s tiled courtyards, Majorelle Garden’s wild color, and the chaos of the souks and Jemaa el-Fna square. Expect laughter, some surprises, and moments you’ll replay long after you’re home.

What’s the experience like?

“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to the horns,” our driver grinned as we squeezed into the little tuk tuk outside our riad in Marrakech. I wasn’t sure if he meant the car horns or the donkey carts clopping past, but either way—he was right. The city is loud and alive and somehow the tuk tuk just fits right in, weaving through alleys where cars can’t go. It’s not like any taxi I’ve taken before; there’s air on my face and a smell of oranges from a street vendor as we start rolling.

First stop was Bahia Palace, which honestly looked like it had been painted by hand just for us—tiles everywhere, sunlight bouncing off courtyards. Our driver waited outside (no guide comes along), so we wandered at our own pace, peeking into rooms where you could almost hear echoes of old stories. After that came Majorelle Garden—the blue there isn’t just blue, it’s something else entirely. There were birds everywhere and for a second I forgot about the city noise. My partner kept trying to photograph every cactus but gave up because people kept walking into frame (classic).

The souks were next and wow—I thought I’d be overwhelmed but somehow sitting up in the tuk tuk made it easier to take in all those colors and shouts and smells of leather and spices. We didn’t buy anything (I’m terrible at haggling) but watching the bargaining was half the fun anyway. Jemaa el-Fna square felt like a movie set: snake charmers, orange juice stalls, everyone moving in different directions but nobody bumping into each other. The ride back was quieter; maybe we were tired or maybe Marrakech had finally gotten under my skin a bit. I still think about that blue from Majorelle when I close my eyes.
