Our family of five enjoyed a wonderful three-week trip. I appreciated their expertise and responsiveness. Said suggested an itinerary and worked with me to adapt it to meet our preferences. Mustafa was our driver and he was excellent: easy-going, flexible, helpful, and a really thoughtful person. (He quickly won the loyalty of our kids by stocking the van with snacks they loved!) They arranged for local tour guides at a few different sites and cities, and they were also great. My tweens and teenager really enjoyed city tours that were often hours long because the guides were so good. We were initially undecided about the additional expense of using a tour
We had a fabulous experience in Morocco from Rabat to Fes, Meknes, Volubilis, Valley of Dades, a dromadary’s ride in the Sahara desert dunes to watch a memorable sunset! Our guide Mohamed was very kind and attentive to our needs and gave us great history of the sites we visited along the way. We had an absolutely amazing experience in Morocco and we are already planning our next trip to this beautiful and welcoming country! À very special thanks to Mohamed!! 🙏🇲🇦🐪👍.
Our eleven days tour around Morocco was amazing. We saw ancient architecture, crossed great Atlas mountains, road camels in Sahara desert, and stayed at beautiful hotels (riads). Our driver-guide Aziz was a very experienced driver and caring person. we enjoyed our time with him. The local guides were also very knowledgeable.
We highly recommend this company for traveling around Morocco.
Alex, Olga, Inna
Had an amazing time touring around all of Morocco! The accommodations were on point everywhere we stayed, if anything I wish I could have stayed longer at each they were so nice. Having breakfast included was clutch as well. The tour is a great combination of rural & city, history and modern day Morocco. Ayoub and Abraham were fantastic guides and I miss them both already. Such an amazing country and culture, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering traveling around Morocco. My only thought would be to add Tangier if you can while touring the country.
