    Ali ensured that we had an amazing time during our visit to Morocco. The trip was well paced, informative and fun! He took extra care to ensure that we had the opportunity to see and experience everything that we had hoped to. I highly recommend booking with Morocco Joy Travel. Everything was seamless, we were well taken care of and he helped to create some incredible memories! This was our first trip to Morocco and it exceeded all of our expectations. Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks so much, Ali!

    The tour we did was actually 12 days , a private tour and it was MAGNIFICENT! Ali is absolutely wonderful, knows beautiful hidden gems to stay and to eat and he is patient, kind, caring, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, well informed and he made this adventure really amazing. His planning made this trip a breeze, beautiful Riads, excellent city tour guides, delicious foods, gorgeous scenery, so fortunate to have him show us the beauty of Morocco and its people. Choosing Morocco Joy Travel was the best decision not only because it was a 5 star experience but I made a friend at the end of this tour! Thank you Ali for the most memorable adventure and for being such a fantastic person! Sonia and Jeff

    My wife and I actually did a 14 day tour that was arranged through Ali for Joy Travel. He was extremely accommodating and responsive to our needs. If you travel as a couple, as we did, or in a small group, you can tailor your journey. The tour was a wonderful experience. So much variety and contrast in this wonderful country. Please take at least two weeks to allow yourself a chance to fully appreciate the beauty of the Atlas Mountains, the desert, the beaches, the kaleidoscopic medinas, the food, and most importantly, the people.

    Morocco is spectacular - the people, history, food and culture. Our guides, Hassan and Hamed, ensured that we had a wonderful experience. They were attentive, kind and organized with a great sense of humour. I would recommend Morocco Joy Travel to anyone visiting Morocco.

    Had a great trip. Ali was very responsive and always available if we had any questions and ensured our comfort throughout the trip. Hasan, who was our driver through most of the tour, was a gem of a person. He was very flexible and attentive to our needs and interests. He made sure to help us with any questions we had and provide us with advice. Overall the tour was very well organized. We got exactly what we signed up for. The locations were very diverse and beautiful. In particular this tour would interest anyone who was looking for something of a mix of natural landscapes and historical sights with a strong flavour of local culture. Each place had its own uniqueness which ensured that the tour never felt repetitive. The accommodation was generally pretty good. The hospitality of our hosts and generally the locals cannot be overstated. All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Essaouira is a hidden gem. Ali came to pick us up at our riad in Marrakech on time at 8.30AM, the couple of stops and the information whilst driving made the trip nice and interesting. The town of Essaouira is very nice, it has a frenetic harborough and we bought a few things whilst visiting the medina. We had an amazing lunch next to the sea in one of the restaurants recommended by Ali and also stopped at an Argan oil cooperative on the way back. Upon arriving to Marrakech, Ali asked us if we were up for visiting an artisan fair that was taking place in Marrakech that week. We stopped for about an hour and half and it was very interesting and fun. This was a nice plus as we weren't expecting it as part of the day trip. By the time we arrived back to our riad it was 9PM circa. Overall it was a great day. Ali is a very kind person and we feel that he really cares that his customer are happy with the service. Also, he speaks perfect fluent english. To top up an already good experience, Ali also offered to take us to the airport on the last day of our holidays (which was 2 days after). Despite we insisted, he didn't want any money for having come to pick us up at 7.45AM to our riad in the centre of Marrakech and driving us to the airport. Certainly, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ali and his services. We did 2 tours with Morocco Joy travel in 10 days and both of them were great experiences.
