5.00I recently made a 6 day trip to Morocco through Desert trips. It was a trip of a lifetime, and something that I'll never forget. All of the logistical issues, along with my personal preferences, were discussed openly, with always a quick reply. Every transfer, activity, hotel and dining suggestion was right on target. Excellent guides provided for the cultural/historical site tours. I was able to experience the country with my own driver, Said, who was very knowledgeable, polite, and experienced. The sights, sounds and weather of Morocco were new, exciting, and vibrant, and I highly recommend them to help make the experience come together.
Truly exceptional!

5.00We had fascinating cultural experiences, delicious food, and exciting adventures. All of our arrangements were done well. All trips and tours were interesting and exciting. Every one of our local tour guides was knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Our driver, Said, was excellent and made the trip most enjoyable. It would not have been the same without him. He was kind and respectful, and truly inspired us, made us laugh, and left a lasting impression on both of us. By the end of our time with him, he felt like a friend!! All in all, If you're looking to elevate your travel experience with local expertise and reliable project management, I highly recommend this team. Even if you prefer to book your own accommodation like we did, having Med’s vision for the itinerary and Said’s execution on the ground made our Morocco getaway truly memorable. Wonderful 6-day trip, thank you DesertTrips! Chase
All was taken care of. Excellent

5.00I had an amazing trip planned by Desert Trips. It was a great experience and I met many amazing people. I couldn't make up my mind about how many days of tour I would like. But every time I emailed, I always got a very prompt reply. I really appreciated that. When I finally decided to take a six day tour at the last minute, Med readily agreed to a few changes to the itinerary, although it was only three days before the trip! The car was nice, clean and comfortable, and the accommodations were very good as promised. My driver was very attentive, very professional, and knowledgeable, and he shared many interesting and fun anecdotes along my journey. He was great at explaining the significance of areas, and he showed me local spots and ensured I had the best local and cultural experience. I'll definitely go with them again if there is a chance.
It was all just perfect!

5.00I took a private trip from Casablanca to Marrakech and had such a lovely time! My driver picked me up at the airport and drove me on my full Moroccan adventure, which was an absolute treat. He was kind, funny, and an expert guide. He showed me gorgeous sights not listed on the itinerary, and taught me so much about the land, the people and the history. The scenery was absolutely beautiful – quaint little villages and charming streets to explore. Every hotel was flawless, some of the best I have ever stayed in. The riad was a luxurious location with everything you could ask for, including amazing staff, a fantastic restaurant, and it’s a beautiful hotel with a historical type of Moroccan architecture. I’m going back to Morocco as soon as I can. This was my first time there and I had only six days. I didn’t know how interesting and beautiful Morocco would be. There is much more I’d like to see and I’ll definitely work closely with DesertTrips on all future visits. All in all, a really enjoyable and relaxing trip out with a great guide. Would definitely recommend if you’re after a fun and well-organised trip with a personal touch.
My first DesertTrips, 100% recommended experience

5.00My trip to Morocco with DesertTrips was an unforgettable experience. We were able to discover magical places full of history, enjoying every moment in a very well organized Mood. The attention and support of driver and guide Moha made everything easier and more comfortable, allowing us to focus on enjoying the beauty of the country. Activities, hotels, guides and dining areas have been worth it. It was certainly an adventure to remember. I recommend this experience to those who seek to explore Morocco in a different and well prepared way.
From the moment we arrived in Casablanca, everything that DesertTrips promised was perfectly executed

5.00We were very nervous about traveling during August, but Med, Khalil in particular, held our hands to be prepared for our trip. Khalil was very responsive to our many questions and kept us informed along the way. We spoke on WhatsApp as well as emailed. We felt very prepared! It is impossible to find anything negative about this trip, because everything was so great! locations of the hotels were great, all the views were great, the beaches, the food, as well as our driver & guide, Said! Said was outstanding; pleasant and knowledgeable of the cities we visited, and an excellent driver. He was always on time and available, helpful, and willing to help us with any questions. When visiting other cities and sites, he always introduced us to our local guides and was waiting for us on completion. By the way, Morocco is a wonderful country with very proud people who want to share what they have with the world. So, without getting too detailed here, suffice it to say the trip was excellent. I could not recommend them more highly!!
A fantastic trip. RECOMMENDED!

5.00Everything perfect!! The organization was impeccable from the first contact, always punctual, quick and generous in my thousand requests for clarifications. Our driver Yidir welcomed us and told millennia of history with passion, kindness and professionalism. Fantastic trip for the many things to see, well managed, adequate services. The hotels was very nice and clean, with that offered tasty dishes and a great variety of desserts. Even the Nesma riad in Marrakech surprised us in a positive way: elegant, with swimming pool and good food. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the wonders of Morocco in a safe, comfortable and fascinating way. Thank you Med, Khalil, Yidir, we will definitely come back to travel with you!
Well-Rounded Tour of Morocco

5.00When considering guided tours of Morocco, our group wanted an experience that would allow us to have an authentic look at the local cultures, educate us on the history of major cities/peoples, and provide a view of the iconic landscapes. In our opinion, DesertTrips was able to meet all of those wants and we had a great time. Our primary guide and driver, Mustapha, was a highlight of the entire experience. He was with us across the entire 6 days and did his best to entertain us for the longer drives across the country. He had a good sense of humor, was able to answer a majority of our questions, and was reliable when it came to making sure that we had everything we needed to be more comfortable. He went out of his way to give us a more personal tour and offered additional perspective into both nomadic and overall Berber culture. It speaks for itself that whenever we weren't driving to the next location, we were missing his commentary. Anyone willing to hand over the aux cord to us for 7+ hours has the right temperament to be a guide, and we're grateful to Mustapha for his professionalism, patience, and dedication to showing us the best of Morocco--he's an asset and great representation of DesertTrips. Overall, we visited everywhere that we intended and ate the food that we expected. One of the best tagines we had was at a gas station on our way to the desert. Visiting Erg Chebbi and riding a camel at sunset was equally hilarious and unforgettable in terms of the views. Walking around Fes and getting the history of the city was educational and very grounded in the reality of the residents' daily lives. Finally, visiting the shops in Marrakech was exactly what we imagined and was a good way to end our 6 days together. If there are any helpful notes to leave for those considering this tour it would be the following: - While visiting the desert, it's implicitly expected that you'll tip the men guiding the camels since it's their main form of income. It would be good to have spare cash with that in mind. - A few of the guides will reiterate this to you, but you should be careful about consuming unfiltered water/eating specific foods. It's just a matter of your stomach not being used to it depending on your country of origin. - Continuing with the food, the menu could possibly feel repetitive. That's due to the tourist-oriented restaurants you're visiting. We'd recommend taking the opportunities to visit more unique places when you have free time (keeping in mind the previous point). - This isn't exactly a "relaxing" tour, but that's not a bad thing. You're going to learn and see a good amount of the country and beautiful landscapes that we personally don't get to see where we live. - Bring shoes you're willing to ditch at the end. - Come with playlists for your driver! This was a great experience and we would recommend it to others looking to learn more about Morocco. We will miss you, Mustapha!
I have always enjoyed private tours because they simplify foreign travel

5.00I'm sold on the benefits of traveling in this way now. They took care of all of the little details, which made it so much easier and more enjoyable for us. The hotels were the nicest of any tour I have taken, and were convenient to shopping, dining, and nightlife. Even more so, we learned so much about Morocco and have a much greater appreciation for the country. We had an absolutely fantastic driver who made the trip so memorable- Mustapha was knowledgeable and informative, and most importantly, entertaining. I would definitely recommend Desert Trips to family and friends and anyone wanting a great travel experience!
