Just finished a 5-day trip from Tangier to Marrakech with Moroccan Travel, and it was epic! Camel riding, sandboarding, and chilling under the stars in the Sahara were highlights. Our guide, Mohamed was awesome – super friendly, knew everything about the places we visited, and answered all our questions. The trip was smooth, well-organized, and full of cool stops like local markets and spots with amazing views. If you’re looking to explore Morocco with a guide who feels more like a friend, ask for Mohamed
An enjoyable 5-day trip, highly recommended!
Our guide, Mohammed is very nice and willing to introduce Morocco so we can have a better understanding of this lovely place, even though we didn’t do enough research before our trip! The food was nice as well, and he recommended some local restaurants, which we could not do without a local guide.
Our Guide Ahmed was very knowledgable in all the place he took us, met us with a big smile at the door of our hotel in Fes, too us around to amazing scenic places, taught us a lot about the history of history about each place and after 5 days sent us directly to our Riad in Marrakech…
Can’t forget about the food places we went to as well! I’ve yet to try a tagine I didn’t like…
Ahmed also helped us when we were being pestered by locals to take photos with horses or just to buy things when walking through markets as well… 11/10 service, and I would recommend this company to anyone thinking of travelling to Morroco and wanting to camp out in the desert for a night too! The Merzouga Sahara Desert was amazing!
Our guide Ahmed was also very patient in waiting for us when visiting each site to take photos, eat, or even to see Atlas studios where a lot of films/movies where filmed at!
Thank you Moroccan Travel for catering to our needs to make our 10 year wedding anniversary special!
To top off our trip we were gifted with a 10-year-old wedding anniversary present from Ahmed of a local “burning painting.”
Amazing company, amazing experience, Morocco is just amazing in general!
Thank you and will use this company if we come to visit Morroco again.
