Family of 5 from the States and thoroughly enjoyed this 3 day tour from Marrakech to fes! Everything from the Mountain views to the Sahara desert, was incredible and we would do it all over again. Just be sure to bring warm layers for the desert night, and we loved how the bus has WiFi! Our guide was Mohamed, who was just genuinely fun and authentic, and he wanted to make sure everyone had a good time and was catered to
We went on a 3D2N tour from Marrakech to the Sahara desert to Fes. We chose Moroccan Travel because Mohamed was especially responsive and easy to deal with. The tour packages were also straightforward and fuss-free to understand, with Said addressing my key concerns upfront. All packages were private, and there was just a marginal cost difference
The 3 days were filled with amazing memories and sights. We thoroughly enjoyed the activities and our guide Aly was enthusiastic, funny, patient and knowledgeable. Also, we felt safe and in good hands on the road with our driver, Ismael. We highly recommend the adventure! The Merzouga Desert was the highlight of our Morocco trip and an amazing experience.
