5.00We took the four day Fes to Marrakech private desert tour. Our driver and guide, Hassan, was excellent: a safe driver, knowledgeable, flexible and a calm and easygoing gentleman. We had an amazing time and I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone traveling for the first time to Morocco. It was also a really great way to go between two major cities with lots to do and spectacular scenery to see in between. The accommodation choices were also excellent. Great trip.
Great memorable experience in Morocco

5.00Clearing this bucket list item with To Morocco Travel was nothing short of magical. From the breathtaking gorges to the vast Sahara Desert, every moment felt special. Our driver and guide, Mustafa, made the journey even more memorable. He was not only a skilled and safe driver but also an excellent communicator, speaking fluent English which made everything easy and enjoyable. His flexibility allowed us to shape the trip into a truly personalized experience. We appreciated his honest advice on where to spend (and where not to spend), as well as his deep knowledge of the history and culture of each place we visited. Thanks to Mustafa and To Morocco Travel, this was more than just a trip—it was an experience we’ll carry with us forever. #ToMoroccoTravel #SaharaDesert #BucketListAdventures #TravelMorocco #Wanderlust #TravelMemories #DesertExperience #TravelWithLocals

5.00We had a fabulous journey with To Morocco Travel. We have experienced and seen things we could have never organised ourselves. Our guide Hassan is a very friendly guy, a great driver and has a very good knowledge of Morocco. He took us to a lot of beautiful places and wonderful people. He gave us a lot of information about the culture and history. He is open to any question and happy to share his culture. Everything was well organised! We slept in great places and enjoyed lovely food (tajine, berber pizza, grilled meat, etc). We would definitely recommend this trip!
Lovely 4 day trip through the mountains and the desert!

5.00We had a great trip with Hassan! We saw plenty of places with lovely views and enjoyed learning about Moroccan and Berber culture. The food and sightseeing was amazing, and it wouldn’t have been the same if we’d had to figure it out ourselves. Recommended!

5.00We had an unforgettable experience on our four-day trip from Marrakech to Fes. With a focus on the Sahara Desert, we were lucky enough to have the best guide ever, Mustafa. Born and raised in the Merzouga area and from a family of former nomads, he answered all our questions and shared fascinating information and facts. He truly took care of us, listened carefully to our needs, and gave us, two very curious Scandinavians, the most authentic experience, often taking us off the tourist track. Mustafa also helped us improve our bargaining skills and ensured we were always safe and never overcharged or taken advantage of. In addition to our amazing guide, everything ran smoothly, making the trip worth every penny. You get to experience everything, from interesting historical sites to breathtaking natural wonders, such as the desert dunes and the stunning sunrise after a restful night in the Sahara. The camel ride was an unforgettable experience and well worth it. All accommodations and food were of good quality, and the hosts were very hospitable. In short, if you want to see a lot and enjoy a perfect mix of culture and nature, this is the tour for you. Everything is well planned, and if you are fortunate enough to have Mustafa as your guide, you are in for a truly unique and incredible experience in Morocco.
