5.00My fiancé and I have joined their 12 days tours and I truly had the best time - from the moment we arrived we fell in love with Morocco and once we’ve started the tour, we fell in love even more! Special shout-out to our driver Aziz (so patient and knowledgeable), and behind the scenes organizer Ismail (so detail and fast response to all the pre-tour comms) - everything was perfect and through the details we could really felt their passion for showing us their beautiful country. With 12 days, we’ve visited Casablanca, Fes, Chefchaouen, Sahara desert, Dades, Ouarzazate, Essaouira and Marrakech - it is our first time visiting a country where we have to stay at a number of different hotels in one single trip, but after seeing how Morocco is I’ve learned that it was necessary due to the distances between cities, yet so much to see between the drives so I find the car rides were manageable. Chefchaouen and the desert was the best highlights - these places are breathtaking and the sunsets are insanely unreal. We did a horseback riding in Essaouira on the beach for the sunset - it was beautiful and what an experience. Highly recommended. In terms of food, I love the tagine - though chicken are generally overcooked in most places, their beef are consistently done well! Thank you Moroccan Tours for this amazing experience and this memory will last a lifetime - you guys have made everything perfect and stress-free for us.
The True Soul of Morocco

5.00I have just returned from a tour in Morocco: it wasn't just a sightseeing trip, but a total immersion into an ancient culture, made possible by impeccable organization and, above all, our incredible local guide, Hamid. The itinerary was perfectly designed to hit the country's true gems: walking through the Medina of Fez was like stepping back in time, between colors of the tanneries and architecture of the Madrasas. The energy of Jemaa el-Fnaa Square in Marrakech is indescribable, as are the gardens. The desert experience exceeded our expectations in every way (location, hospitality and uniqueness). The majesty of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, suspended over the ocean, is an unforgettable sight. What made this trip perfect was the human and professional touch of Hamid. He didn't limit himself to being just a guide or a driver; he was a true ambassador of his land. He explained Berber history and traditions with contagious passion. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to discover the real Morocco!
A tour to remember!

5.00A tour to remember! Omar was knowledgeable, interesting and considerate, and the best guide we had on our whole trip. Ask for him and you can’t go wrong! He went out of his way to show us the different cultures and history at each stop. We made fascinating stops to learn about the argan, rose, and fossil product industries, explored the heritage village of Ait-Ben-Haddou, visited a Berber village, toured the beautiful Dades Valley, and best of all, spent 2 nights in a cosy Sahara desert camp. Special mention to the Grand Canyon Lodge Dades and the Morocco Luxury Desert Camp for beautiful and luxurious accommodation and warm and attentive staff! Thanks Omar for the wonderful memories!
Living the dream!

5.00I had been dreaming of going to Merzouga for a long time, and this trip exceeded my expectations. From riding camels in the Sahara to stargazing to riding quad bikes through the sand dunes, we loved it all. We did the 3-day tour round trip from Fes to Merzouga. We felt that we got a great deal--even the lunches we had to pay for were only $10-$15 USD, and the portion sizes were generous. Our driver & guide Khalid was incredible--so friendly and kind and informative. I would absolutely book another tour through this group and would be happy to get Khalid again. I am a planner and I loved how organized this tour was and how well Morrocan Tours communicated with me. I can't wait to recommend this group to others!

5.00Our goal was an immersive cultural experience and Hamid did not disappoint. He guided us expertly into and through his own home turf in the Merzouga Desert. We were welcomed with tea and nuts and dates everywhere. No one was a stranger to Hamid (he seems to have a lot of cousins!) and doors opened wide for us. The centerpiece of the trip was our two-night stay in a comfortable desert camp on the edge of the dunes. A camel ride (dromedary actually but who’s counting) into the sand for a spectacular desert sunset got us ready for tagines and fruits and Berber specialties for supper (be hungry BTW). A day in 4WD mostly off road, took us to a Nomad camp, where again we were welcomed with warm tea and warm hospitality. An affable, knowledgeable local guide makes all the difference when you’re the stranger. We were well served by Hamid and Moroccan Tours.
Highly recommended!

5.00Morocco Tours provided a great itinerary and driver/guide Hamid for our private trip from Marrakech to Fes via the Sahara desert. Hamid was waiting for us at our Medina pick-up spot and off we went. There is so much raw beauty through this part of Morocco between the mountains, oases, and desert. Each planned stop let us see this and at our leisure. We also made stops at optional commercial places such as the Women’s Argan Oil Cooperative most of which were good. Lunch stops provided decent meals as well (these clearly catered to tourists like us) and our overnight stays were tops and always well-coordinated. Hamid was an excellent driver, always on-time, answered all of our touristy questions and volunteered his own commentary. He was a pleasure to be with.
Perfect organization and attention to detail. The driver and guide, Aziz, gave us a fantastic experience.

5.00Marrakech is a beautiful city but the excursion to the desert made our week in Morocco unforgettable!
Great experience with comfort and nice music

5.00Our 10-day tailored & private trip for a group of 9 people from Tangier to Marrakech was an incredible way to see Morocco. The itinerary was well thought out and gave us the chance to experience so many highlights, from Chefchaouen’s blue streets to the desert and the busy souks. The drives were long at times, but the vans were spacious, air-conditioned, and super comfortable, which made the journey easy. It was a great part of the adventure, getting to see the changing landscapes along the way. A special thank you to our drivers, Hamid and Ismail. They were attentive, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their music, and thoughtful touches (like a surprise cake in the desert!) made the whole trip even more memorable. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit Morocco.
Thank you AZIZ , Sahara tour
