How it works
A local approaches tourists near the entrance to the Marrakech medina offering to show them around for free. They lead tourists deep into the maze of souks, through dead-end alleys, then into shops run by friends or family where commissions are paid. Tourists feel unable to leave without the guide to find their way out.
