Guides

Morocco has a   long-standing   reputation  for its faux    guides  (unofficial guides).    In  fact,   tourist-friendly    initiatives have    improved
the situation in most cities, but street hustlers are still part of the landscape. If you want to be left alone, be polite but firm,
pretend you know exactly where you are going, or just play dumb. These unofficial ushers can be useful for navigating the
disorientating medinas, but try to find out the going rate (normally about Dh50 to Dh100 per day) from an impartial source, and
establish the fee before setting off. If you don’t want to finish the tour at his brother/uncle/friend’s carpet shop, make it clear; if
you do wind up there, remember you’re under no obligation to buy anything. Official guides, engaged through tourist offices and
hotels, are considerably more expensive.
