Best agency in Morocco?

5.00Toubkal Guide agency is very professional, flexible et reliable. We did a mix of trek, Toubkal ascent and Sahara tour during 8 days and everything was perfect. Many thanks to Karima for the overall organisation, Mohamed for the trek in the Toubkal National Park and Yoness for all the good moments. If I come again in Morocco, I will solicitate again this agency.
Excellent

5.00Wow... What an experience! We absolutely loved our tour. Everything was organized seamlessly. Although Mt Toubkal was closed due to weather conditions, our lovely tour guide Ismail had other options for us immediately which were just as brilliant. Accommodation was changed quickly without any issues which was great - thank you Amine! Ismail was very knowledgeable and we had a fantastic time hiking the Atlas mountains. Our cook Ibrahim provided a delicious lunch on the hike. We then spent 4 days making our way to and from the Sahara with Said. Said was a great guide, very knowledgeable and helpful, was always happy to answer questions, give recommendations and accommodate as many stops as we wanted to make. It was amazing to have such a friendly, organized team look after us while we were in Morocco. We definitely wouldn't have seen as much, or learnt as much about the local culture if it weren't for Said and Ismail. Thank you to Toubkal guide for a once in a lifetime trip!!
The perfect tour!

5.00Exceptional hike! Mohamed Tsiou was our guide: excellent, he took the time to give us information, kept us informed of the game plans , and even accepted our request to climb the Toubkal in one day! Special mention to Mohamed Abayen (the cook) for preparing the best meals since our arrival in Morocco. Anyway, a great duet!

5.00This trip was fantastic value for money and we got to see so much of what Morocco has to offer. I would definitely recommend this tour but would the below improvements: - Better communication from the company. It would be great if we were provided with an itinerary with timings and a list of places we were staying. All of this was communicated to the guides but not to us so we were left in the dark a lot of the time. - Better safety instructions for the Toubkal summit as well as a pre-share of what to expect.
Stress-Free and Fantastic Morocco Experience

5.00Best recommendations for Jamal who was our driver for 6 days. Both in the narrow mountains roads or in the crazy traffic of Marrakech, Jamal is a safe and calm driver. He is always smiling, shares information and fun stories, always on time, discreet, and solves all problems on the way. Jamal was a large contributor to a wonderful week in Morocco
Wonderful experience!

5.00We had the pleasure of Said AIT ELHOUSS as our guide and driver on an extensive tour covering some 1,500km including the Atlas mountains, numerous sites and attractions and Marrakech. It has been such a pleasure! He is easy going, polite, insightful, knowledgeable and always on time! He made all the difference and we recommend him unreservedly.
