This was a trip of a lifetime and the height of our Morocco adventure. We had Mohammed as a driver/guide and we never felt anything but in complete safety and competence. He is from the area and had many insights to local culture and traditions. All the accommodations were fantastic! We have done guided tours as a family all over the world. This is a top three. They put on a special show at New Years that brought 2024 in, in a way that made it one to remember
There are so many tour companies to chose from, but I found many would never respond or would send copy-&-pasted responses that didn’t answer our questions. We chose Moroccan Travel because Said was always super responsive and helpful and we definitely made a good choice. Did an 7 day tour with Omar as our driver – the trip was amazing and Omar was fantastic. Truly had the best time and never had to worry about anything. I would highly recommend to anyone.
I am very impressed with the organization, reliability, and dependability. The agency was very responsive and our driver, Youssef, was excellent. It was an incredible experience exploring the desert and discovering the landscape and Morocco life. We selected the luxury tour. Definitely consider this as part of your itinerary when visiting Morocco!
