  • Memorable, unique trip through the desert

    We took a 4 day 3 nights tour from Fez to Marrakesh with 2 nights in Sahara. We practically never take tours as we prefer to make our own itinerary based on what interests us, so honestly we were looking more for a safe transportation option than a guided tour. I picked this company because they were very reliable communicators (WhatsApp), they didn't stress us out about booking "too late" (January for April), they were very flexible with the dates and itinerary and not pushy. We ended up doing a 50/50 mix of our own activities and of what they suggested, and we did enjoy what they offered. The highlight of the trip was meeting local people and talking to them, and in this respect our driver Hicham was a pure treasure. He was the perfect choice for this trip as he actually grew up in the desert including as a nomad in early childhood. He never received much formal schooling to my understanding, but yet he spoke more languages and was better at math than me with my doctorate degree. He never complained about life in Morocco which was also very refreshing, and was very calm, unhurried, and did not insist on doing too many touristy things. I asked him a lot of personal questions about his life and his family as it was fascinating to me, and he did not mind answering at all. Hicham and everyone we met on our journey seemed to have this sense of pride in their culture and acceptance of the way their lives were. Safety and driving-wise everything was solid, the car was comfortable and new (Toyota Land Cruiser with leather interior), Hicham's driving skills were impeccable, and he even washed and vacuumed the car after we emerged from the desert. The only negative fact was that even though we pre-booked with this company 2.5 months prior to the trip, a week prior we were told one of the hotels was not available at a price we agreed upon. So either we had to pay extra 300 euros for bigger rooms or to downgrade a hotel. We chose the latter and I absolutely regretted it, as the hotel (Xaluca Dades) felt very run down and mass production. Poorly working ACs and toilets, a giant insect inside of the room, dozens of tourists from mega buses chain smoking around the pool and the bar. But the desert camp they offered (Morocco Luxury desert camp with A/C & heating) was absolutely great. Would definitely recommend this company, just avoid Xaluca Dades hotel.:)

    We had a 3-day tour from Marrakech to the desert in Merzouga and it was just amazing. We travelled very comfortably on the van and our guide Ismail was fantastic: experienced, well prepared and kind for the whole tour, always available to share stories about Berber culture and Moroccan history. The tour was very well organized, we felt they took good care of us, and we would definitely recommend it

  • Private 5 day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga

    We highly recommend this Private 5 day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga. The experience was simply amazing from start to finish—both fascinating and highly informative about the country’s culture and people. We had the opportunity to explore a wide variety of beautiful places, from charming mountain villages and lush valleys to the breathtaking desert. The organization of the trip was excellent, and every stop added something special to the experience. The hotels were very good, the food was outstanding and gave us great insight into Moroccan cuisine. The driver/guide Ibrahim was exceptional—professional, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make the journey even better. We could not have been more satisfied with this trip and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the true essence of Morocco in an enjoyable and comfortable way.

    We took a private tour from Marrakech to Fez via Merzouga, and it was the best part of our trip! Our guide, Hamid, was excellent — we had very enjoyable drives and great conversations, and we learned so much about Morocco while experiencing so many unforgettable moments. I highly recommend taking a private desert tour; it was the best decision we made on this trip. Both of our accommodations were absolutely magical, and the hosts were incredibly friendly (Morocco Luxury Desert Camp and Riad Gabsi Dades), also the food was devine! If you have more time, I suggest staying in the desert for more than one night — it’s truly worth it. We are very grateful to Hamid — it was a wonderful three days with you! Kelly and Tony

    Had joined the tour from Casablanca to Marrakesh in March, 2026 with Hamid as the driver guide. He was pleasant with superb driving skill, attentive, responsive and helped me to know more about the past and present Moroccan culture. Much appreciate with Hamid's recommendation with food/restaurants, places were clean with good food and service. The tour was well organized, hotels were well worth the price and close to amenities, Visit to Sahara Desert and stayed in the tent is a must do.

    8-Day Tour from Casablanca to Marraques in Two Persons with Driver/Guide. Organized through Evaneos with Morocco Tours. Our guide Aziz, professional, nice and kind made the trip easy (we are elderly) and very interesting, connoisseur of all the places we visited.Good selection of hotels. If I had to make the trip again I would stay more in the Sahara, less in Casablanca (messy and dirty) and Riyadh. Thank you Aziz, we owe it to you to have had a nice trip

  • Amazing experience!

    My family (wife, husband, 3 teenage kids) just returned from a 3-day desert tour led by our guide, Khalid. We had an absolutely amazing experience! The tour started in Marrakech then to the Atlas Mountains then to the Sahara (amazing!) and then drop off in Fez. The van was spacious and comfortable, and we stopped at many places in between the major daily destinations. It was a lot of time on the road, but the small excursions throughout each day made it feel like we weren’t in the van too long. 99% of the roads have been recently repaired and paved so it was a smooth ride. There were plenty of rest stops available. This tour really gave us a feel for the beautiful country of Morocco. Our guide, Khalid, took us to a number of artisans (eg, rug makers, spice salesman, among others) where we learned a lot and were able to purchase items. The Sahara part was definitely the highlight. It was an unbelievable experience! The camel tour was really great, but the highlight was going on an hour long ATV tour of the Sahara. I strongly suggest doing the ATVs as they bring you a bit further into the desert compared to the camels (but don’t skip the camels as that was very cool, too!). The scenery was incredible! The desert camp accommodations were really nice. Very high end - nice beds, showers, sink - like a nice hotel room. The people were extremely friendly and accommodating. Khalid was an amazing guide. He was very friendly (knows everyone, everywhere), and he has a good heart. He was a great driver and got us through this tour safely. He also served as an excellent camera man. At each stop, he took multiple photos of us with my camera which was nice to have. This was a memorable trip, and I highly recommend this company!

  • Great experience with Moroccan Tours

    We had an amazing road trip with Moroccan Tours from Casablanca to Marrakech, visiting Rabat, Fez, Chefchaouen, Dades, and the Sahara Desert, and our driver and guide Aziz made the journey truly special. He is calm, composed, and professional, yet warm and friendly—after 10–12 hours on the road each day, he felt like part of the family. We had great conversations about the history and culture of both India and Morocco, shared our love for Bollywood movies, and there was never a dull moment. He was also extremely safe, even on narrow and steep roads. We highly recommend Aziz and the company for anyone planning a similar trip.

    We chose Morocco Tours for a desert excursion from Marrakech to Fes for our honeymoon, and it turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The accommodation, the food, the hospitality, and every person we met along the way were simply outstanding. Each day of the journey was full of unique experiences and beautifully planned. Everything ran smoothly and we didn’t encounter a single problem during the trip. A special thank you to our driver, Hassan Kamana, who was truly exceptional. He was kind, helpful, professional, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment of the journey. He was the perfect companion for this incredible adventure. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Morocco. Thank you for everything — this is a trip we will remember forever.
