Lunch is typically not included; the itinerary lists bottled water and transport but not meals — plan to budget for a tagine or café meal in the medina.
This private option is advertised without shopping stops; the driver and guide focus on sightseeing and local highlights rather than retail.
Expect several hours of walking on uneven surfaces and many staircases inside the medina; a moderate fitness level is recommended.
Small businesses and cafés often prefer cash (Moroccan dirhams); larger ticket items may accept cards but bring small bills for convenience.
