Magical Morrocco with our guide Mohamed!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Family of 4 winter break. Mohammed was an amazing attentive guide. My daughter doesn’t eat any red meat and he made sure at every location that they were aware and made alternate arrangements for her meal! He was kind and patient and very informative. The hotels he picked for us were spot on perfect. He even helped with bargains at the souks for us! We enjoyed the trip a lot in large part to our guide and how accessible he made Morrocco and its small towns for us. We went from Marrakech through yhe Atlas mountains into the desert and mountain valleys, the landscapes were so spectacular and the highlight of this trip!

5.00Excellent experience from arrival to departure, everything was taken care of. The trip was well organized and thoughtfully curated. Mohammed and Aadi were fantastic guide and driver. As a family of four including two young adults, Mohamed did a fantastic job keeping us all engaged. He was part historian, personal shopper, restaurant connoisseur and adventure planner. We were warmly welcomed to this country. All the Riad accommodations were excellent!

Amazing road trip with spectacular scenery

5.00We booked a 3 night tour with Love Morocco Travel and did not regret it. Mohamed was responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and the whole trip. The air conditioned van was modern and comfortable and the driving was excellent. Mohamed was always on time and dependable. We saw some spectacular scenery along the way including the Atlas mountains and the Sahara desert. The highlights of the trip were staying in a tented camp where we were the only guests, going on a camel ride, visiting a local store to try on local Berber attire, getting Henna tattoos and soaking up the atmosphere with the locals at Todra Gorge. The accommodation booked for us was of a high standard and our package included a tasty dinner at each place. The driving hours were long each day but we had plenty of stops and were provided water daily to keep us hydrated.

5.00A very pleasant trip. Mohamed was very helpful and follow up our itinerary very closely. Said was our guide from Marrakech to Merzouga and was very cheerful and kind, drives very well and very knowledgable about the areas we have visited, so not to worry about the long car rides! The desert is beautiful! We love the little souvenir, thank you so much :)
Amazing experience

5.00With Mohammed and Hassan we were able to see what felt like the entirety of Morocco. We covered great distances starting in Agadir, onwards to Ourzazete, Dades Valley and Merzouga in the Sahara desert before heading to Marrakech. Mohammed was an excellent tour guide. He was very well organized, accommodating, spoke English well, and was very thoughtful with regards to our overall experience - ensuring we were well taken care of and got to experience Morocco in a truly authentic way. We saw a range of beautiful landscapes, ate a range of local foods - with one of the meals being cooked by Mohamed and Hassan in a picnic style. We had an amazing time in the Sahara desert with local foods and music - Mohammed showed off his drumming skills! Mohammed really tailored the stops along the way to our liking, taking us to Souks, look out points and other sites of cultural importance. We felt Mohammed was a great planner and Hassan a great driver: both giving us the best experience we could have asked for. We left feeling more than satisfied.
