I use a company called Four Seasons Travel who have a rep visit the main tourist hotels daily, I can send you details if you wish.
I can also send you a list of the types of excursions available and also sites to see in Marrakech.
Realistically you do not need a guide as most of the sights are withn the medina and eaily accessible on foot. Elsewhere is Jardin Majorelle (formerly owned by YSL) and Jardin Menara which is quite disappointing even though it is the most photographed place in Marrakech.
For visits outside of Marrakech you may indeed need the services of a guide although you MUST specify that you DO NOT wish to be taken into herbalists, carpet sellers or any such places which will overcharge you deliberatley and also give the guide a hefty backhander.
