5.00The tour is well planned. We have opportunities to visit the nice cities of Morocco, such as Fes and Chefchaouen. The camel riding and spent one evening in the desert camp is amazing. The driver, Idir, is very friendly and helpful. We enjoy a lot of this trip.

5.00We went as a couple with our driver Aziz. We had a great tour. It was a lot of driving but well worth it. The accommodations we stayed at were excellent and the food was quite good, both in terms of the dinners arranged by the tour as well as the lunch stops that they chose (which we paid separately). Aziz was a great driver, both in terms of his driving skills and his explanation of things when we asked him.
Moroccan On and Off Road Experience

5.00We had an excellent tour with, Idir, our driver. Taking the tour was our highlight of being in Morocco. Being picked up at our Marrakesh Hotel, the complete tour package, and being dropped off at our Riad made everything so easy. Also, the Toyota 4-wheel drive Jeep was super comfortable for the extra (not advertised) off road experiences. One such bonus stop was going off the side road (most tours go the main road from Marrakesh to Merzouga) and after walking a small hill for a bit, enjoying mid-morning hot tea with a Moroccan Nomad woman in her tent/home. Our English-speaking guide communicated in his own native Berber language with our "host". Also, Idir had excellent driving skills...I was so comfortable, I jumped into the front passenger seat after the first few hours on Day 1. Also, our "off road" Camel Driver too had great navigation skills and knew the desert route well. The tour is even better than what is advertised.
Wonderful Experience

5.00I just finished my 5 day Marrakech to Tangier tour and it far exceeded expectations. My driver, Idir, was an exceptional tour guide and it was so great learning about the different parts of the country from him. A night in the Sahara was probably the highlight, but not far behind was the walking tour in Fes, the Kasbah tour in the desert and exploring Chefchaouen on the final night. If you're looking to get immersed in the Moroccan culture and see more of the country than just the big cities, look no further than the travel itineraries offered by Morocco Camel Trekking.

5.00We really enjoyed our 5 day tour from Tangier to Marrakech. Our driver/guide Ahmed met us at the Tangier airport and away we went. We spent one night each in Chefchaouen, Fez, the desert (Merzouga), And Dades Valley before being dropped off at the accommodations we had booked in Marrakech. We covered a lot of ground, so we had a fair bit of time in the car, but it was comfortable and the scenery was gorgeous. Ahmed was a great driver and made sure we had as many stops as we needed. He also knew all the best places to stop for awesome photos. Some highlights of the trip were wandering around Chefchaouen to see the lovely blue buildings, a guided tour of the Medina in Fez, and of course the camel ride and overnight stay in the desert. It was a bucket list experience that was affordable and convenient. I can’t wait to visit Morocco again!

Unexpected and Unforgettable

5.00My friend and I had the pleasure of exploring Morocco with the exceptional tour guide Aziz and I cannot recommend him enough! From the moment we arrived, his knowledge of the culture, history, and landscapes of Morocco was evident. He was not only highly professional, but also passionate about sharing the rich heritage of their country. He also loved hearing about our own culture. I will never forget rocking out to Blue driving through the Atlas Mountains. Throughout the journey, he took us to hidden gems off the beaten path (Berber pizza picnic in the desert!!) offering insider insights that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. He was always attentive to our needs (whether food or breaks) and was committed to making the trip unique for us so he always presented us with options or asked if there was anything specific we wished to see or do. Whether we were wandering through the vibrant souks of Marrakech, marveling at the stunning landscapes of the Atlas Mountains, or exploring the ancient medinas of Fez, Aziz made every experience feel personal as well as safe. He was attentive to our needs, ensuring we were comfortable and enjoying the journey at our own pace. His warm hospitality, coupled with their deep respect for the local culture, truly enhanced our trip. I left Morocco with a deeper understanding of the country's beauty and history, thanks to Aziz. If you're planning a trip to Morocco, I highly recommend this guide—an unforgettable experience awaits! I am forever spoiled for future tour guides.
