Magical place with a magical tour company

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00A must do!!!! We were so afraid of going to a foreign country and using a company we didn’t know anything about. They were so helpful and accommodating from day one. EVERYTHING was perfect. From their comfortable van with air conditioning to the riad/hotels, to their itinerary which includes ALL the must-sees in each city. They have contacts with so many places that you will only get THE BEST if you use them. They went above and beyond when I left a bag in the Sahara Desert and had it returned to me on my last stop. If you are coming to Morocco, use Shade Explore for your visit. You will NOT be disappointed. Thank you, Shade Explore, for an UNFORGETTABLE trip.

5.00We had a great trip in Morocco. A lot of that, I have to say, is thanks to our guide Zaki -- he's definitely one of the best guides in the world. Despite having more than 13 years of experience, he still maintains a first-class level of service. He is very patient, professional, funny and very contractual, which is particularly important and reassuring to us. If you are visiting Morocco, we would highly recommend Zaki 200%!
Good country with the best guide

5.00We had an amazing tour in Morocco. I have to say, a big part of the reason is because we had Zaki, one of the best guides in the world. He still remains the highest quality of service after 13+ years of experience. He’s full of patience, professionalism, and a sense of humor, and he sticks with the spirit of contract, which we found very, very valuable and reliable. We would 200% recommend him if you come to Morocco!!

5.00We spent 10 days travelling through Morocco with our driver Zaki – and could not have asked for a better companion. Zaki was professional at all times, extremely accurate and above all: a very safe driver. We felt very comfortable and well looked after all the time. He also always picked great restaurants for us – every single one was a hit! Everything worked smoothly, he was always punctual, friendly and helpful. An absolute recommendation – thank you, Zaki!

5.00We had an unforgettable experience exploring Morocco, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible tour guide Zaki. He was kind, professional and knowledgeable about every city we visited. He drove us safely and comfortably across the country, from blue streets of Chefchaouen to Marrakech, and everywhere in between. He took us to great restaurants and made sure we were always comfortable, he went above and beyond. Highly recommended for anyone looking to discover Morocco with knowledgeable and kind hearted guide!
A five star experience!!!!

5.00This trip was better than I could have ever imagined! This tour really allowed us to see the beauty of Morocco and all the different things this country had to offer. From the mountains, the souks, the culture, the riads, and especially the moroccan hospitality, we fell in love with this country 💗 Zaki really helped our experience and made us feel very welcome in Morocco. We were a little nervous since we were just girls going, but Zaki made us feel very safe and protected while we were there. He was always in reach if we needed anything. His generosity really stood out and we were truly pampered by everything he did for us. He found us a place to pray everyday at our stops which was very helpful! He’s also a great punctual and safe driver which i appreciate because I can get quite anxious in cars depending on whos driving. Overall, this trip was unforgettable and I would highly recommend!!
Heartfelt welcome to Morocco by Zaki

5.00- Perfect combination of city tours, visiting medinas, artisans, gardens, and kasbahs, along with natural sights, including mountain ranges, the Sahara desert, and forests. Visiting the desert is a must!!! - Our driver-guide, Zaki, was incredibly knowledgeable and ensured we had a comfortable stay each night. He brought us many small treats, including from his mom, and truly made us feel welcome. There was a ton of driving, and Zaki was energetic throughout! - The riads were all beautiful and we appreciated the service from the staff at each and every one!

5.00Great country, tradition and gracious people. This private tour was well planned and very comfortable. Zaki, our guide-driver was extremely knowledgeable, cordial, kind and was always willing to go the extra mile. We will recommend him to our friends. The local guides were also very good. Accommodations at the Riads were great.
Amazing Morocco Experience

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This 8-day trip around Morocco was not just defined by the places or cities that we have travelled to, but also the hospitality and generosity of our driver Zaki. Zaki shared with us the history of each city, and also basic Arabic phrases so that we could get around safely and communicate (simple!) with the locals. Zaki was also extremely sensitive to our needs and many times went the extra mile to ensure that we feel comfortable throughout the journey. The trip itself touches the key touristic cities and the highlight for us was definitely the Safari tour. Camel ride during sunset, across the orange sand dunes at Erg Chebbi was truly an unforgettable experience. The accommodations provided were also super! We couldn’t have asked for more. We felt extremely immersed into the Moroccan culture (under Zaki’s hospitality and care) and are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Shade Explorer. We highly recommend this package to all interested parties who are looking for that magical North African experience!
One of the best Morocco tours and driver Zaki :)

5.00We learnt and saw so much of Morocco on our trip. Zaki, our driver turned friend, made the trip 10x better with his hospitality, attention to detail. He made sure we were having a good time and did his best to accommodate our tight schedule and requests. Without him, Morocco would’ve been a whole lot different. The 8-day trip is perfect for seeing charming Morocco. We were blown away by the beauty and different landscapes. The car was very spacious and clean. Itinerary well-organised. Highly recommend Morocco and Zaki to anyone who wants a variety of experiences in their travels! Thank you Shade Explore and Zaki for organising everything :) very professional! 😊
