  We hired Morocco Best Tours for an 09-day grand tour of Morocco. This tour was amazing! Before I get into the specifics of the tour, I must say that Youssef was excellent at answering my questions and adjusting our tour to fit our needs. I have a daughter studying in Rabat and we wanted to spend four days in Rabat in the middle of the tour. Youssef suggested itinerary changes that made this possible. He also booked us a beautiful riad in Rabat for our stay there. Another thing I liked was the airport pick up and drop offs. We had a lot of luggage and our guide, Youssef, (the owner Youssef’s nephew) was more than helpful with our luggage… not only at the airport, but throughout the tour. For both legs of our tour (before and after visiting my daughter in Rabat), Youseff was our guide/driver. Youseff was very knowledgeable about all the sights and cities we visited. He would discuss history and tell us stories about Morocco. He would recommend excellent restaurants and shopping spots and was always able to modify the itinerary if we decided to see something on a whim. We also had excellent private guides in Fes, Volubilis and Marrakech, which were arranged by Youssef ahead of time. These guides showed us many of the important historical sites as well as the best places to shop… places where you can buy authentic artisan crafts, as some shops in Morocco (even in the Medinas) carry products made in China. We split our trip into two legs. The first leg included Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Fes and Meknes, as well as some small sights along the way. Of these, Chefchaouen was probably our favorite. We only spent one night there, but I would highly recommend staying there for two nights. The Roman ruins with their tile mosaics at Volubilis were amazing and Fes has a great Medina with beautiful artisan shopping. We would love to have been able to spend more time in Meknes…next time. After a beautiful stay with my daughter in Rabat, we embarked on our second leg of the tour which included the Mid Atlas, Merzouga and the Sahara, Todra Gorge, Ouarzazate and Marrakech. The desert area was phenomenal! Everything from the overnight camel trek, to the souk in Merzouga, to the very special musical performance outside Merzouga by the Gnawan musicians was extraordinary. The Todra gorge was far more enormous than I could have imagined. The Kasbahs in the Dades Valley were fantastic and Marrakech has all the fun and freaks of a carnival, while encompassing all the history that is Morocco. Throughout the tour, the hotels and riads were always comfortable and clean; and most of the time luxurious with beautiful views. A guide/driver on a private tour can make or break the tour. Our guide, Youssef, was a gem and made our tour special and unique. He was helpful, kind, knowledgeable and adaptable to our desires. We would recommend Youssef to anybody’s tour. Thanks to both of the Youssef’s at Morocco Best Tours Agency, we have knowledge and memories of Morocco that will last a lifetime!

  Hicham from Morocco Best Tours was just fantastic, He made sure always we had good drivers and cars so that our journey was comfortable and we enjoyed travelling the country. Hicham is also very responsive and always answers within the hour if not 15 mins. I highly recommend Morocco Best Tours Agency for any of your travels in Morocco.

  We just finished a luxury, 09 day tour of Morocco starting in Casablanca and ending up in Casablanca. This was a private tour where Hamed picked us up at the airport, drove us around the country in a great Toyota Land Cruiser and dropped us back at the airport when we finished. Morocco Best Tours is a family owned company. Hamid our driver/guide was one of the brothers that own the company. He is very knowledgeable of the country and culture and very pleasant to tour with. This was a private tour so we were able to stop when and where we wanted and adapt the tour to our needs. I got a cold along the way and shortened the days near the end, dropping some sights. Since it was a luxury tour, you stay in the best Riads, Very nice places with great restaurants. All tours were guided by locals who really knew the areas like the medina in Fez, the Roman ruins in Volubis or the souks in Marrakech. We had a wonderful time riding the camels in the desert, feeding the monkeys in the mountains and shopping for everything in Fez. The artisans there are amazing (leather, wood, ceramic, metal, carpet, cloth). Very well organized and executed tour. Thank you Hamed and Youssef.

  Truly wonderful. Morocco Best Tours did an amazing job on our 09 day private tour for two women travelers. We asked to see cultural and historical highlights and also get off the beaten path, enjoy the outdoors and see more local life. They customized a tour just for us. We relied on their expertise for what to see and how to see it and were not disappointed. Our driver/guide was Hamid, one of the owners. He was great. We enjoyed his knowledge of the country, history, geography, and culture. He went the extra mile to please us - even adding in a little stop to look for fossils when we mentioned we enjoyed that. Not every day went exactly as on the plan - but we did everything we wanted and more we didn't even know we wanted. A couple of things you might like to know. They are truly professional and honest, All above board. We had a local tour guide in most places we went to. Most were fantastic and added a lot to the experience. However it also adds to the expense as you tip each guide. We had a terrible guide in Marrakech - didn't show us anything we could not have seen ourselves. Maybe skip the guide there. P.S. Once we told this to Hamid he was immediately on the phone and willing to arrange another guide to come that afternoon. We declined. All the places we stayed were good. Some were fantastic - with beautiful architecture. All breakfasts are included and some dinners. Lunches not included but often chosen for us based on guide recommendation or convenience when driving to from places. Some great some not so great, but in the scheme of things it all worked wonderfully. I highly recommend Morocco Best Tours.

  Book now for a truly amazing cultural experience! We planned this trip just 5 days before arriving in Morocco. Hassan, the owner, was extremely responsive and helpful. We were a group of 4 women on a 09 day tour, Our driver/guide, Ibrahim, was more than accommodating, Being a small group of 4, we could stop at anytime for coffee or a WC and spend more or less time at each stop, There was a definite itinerary, but we made it work for us! To be honest, we did not know a lot about the Muslim culture or Morocco in general, Ibrahim answered ALL of our questions... and we had a lot! We stopped at several local businesses (leather, argon, rose oil, rugs, herbal pharmacy) and were welcomed with tea. We opted to eat at more "local" places rather than touristic restaurants. It was a very fast paced tour, but we were able to see so much in just 09 days. The highlights were getting to know the culture, people, and sleeping under the stars in the Sahara. Book now. You won't regret.

  We had a private tour in September for 09 days, and this was a fantastic experience! Hamid was our main guide, who picked us up from the airport and drove us around in a very safe, calm manner. He was very knowledgeable and gave explanations of sights and for Moroccan culture or any questions we had. For some places, there are local guides to go in-depth. The local guides selected were very high quality too, although this may end up being an issue of availability of the local guides. One of the great things about Morocco Best Tours is the customization before and during the tour. Before the tour, I spoke to Youssef to determine a customized itinerary, and he was very good communicating things and making recommendations until I was satisfied. During the tour, Hamid would cater to all our needs, whether we needed to find a bank or stop for bathroom or photos. He'd even make recommendations on doing an extra hike or other things to see. Actually beyond that, he's a problem solver, helping you accomplish what you need, His English is superb, which is a godsend when you discover most of the locals don't speak it well. Anyway, I'd definitely recommend Morocco Best Tours, and you for sure will be in good hands if you get Hamid!

  Two travellers here. We had a wonderful holiday, The lead up communication was clear and responsive and fitted our limited time schedule. We covered a lot of ground and saw many different things in a beautiful country. Our main driver (Mustafa) was experienced and we felt safe. Our main guide (Yassine) is a very friendly and personable guy who by the end of our time with him felt like a real friend. He gave just the right amount of information for our needs, was always there for information and advice but did not invade our privacy and communication among ourselves - a perfect balance. Both Yassine and Mustafa went out of there way to help us. Accommodation was mostly riads which were our favourite. Much easier to build a rapport with the people than in hotels. We had one night stay in a hotel which was high quality but to be honest would prefer a more modest riad. The desert camp was great and very comfortable. Lunches were mostly in restaurants and the food was delicious and very plentiful. As a suggestion, it would have been good to experience more street food or more interaction with locals if possible. We did eat at a local restaurant in the Medina in Fez and it was a highlight as the food was delicious and interaction with the proprietor and his customers was a lot of fun. Overall, we loved Morocco as the people were so warm and welcoming, the food magnificent and scenery stunning. We would highly recommend this company and hope to return some day. Thanks for making our holiday special.

  Fantastic. Fabulous. Outstanding -- All words that describe our Morocco trip as well as Ismail, our driver/guide. Our 09 days traveling around Morocco were fascinating and fun as well as extremely educational. With Ismail sharing his extensive knowledge of his fascinating country, we were able to experience so much of Morocco, from the beautiful Blue City of Chefchaouen . . . to the High Atlas Mountains . . . to riding camels into and overnighting in the Sahara Desert . . . to experiencing the chaotic medinas in both Fes and Marrakesh . . . to crossing rapidly running rivers on foot and scrambling up boulders to experience beautiful waterfalls. Ismail truly went above and beyond to make our trip fantastic. A special treat for us was when he invited us into his home to meet his family and share lunch with his wife, son, and mother. When both of us came down with a mild case of traveler’s sickness, Ismail found an open pharmacy on a Sunday and bought something to help our stomachs. He went even further that evening when he asked our Riad to prepare rice for us at dinner, to again help with our traveler’s sickness, His concern for us was extremely thoughtful and much appreciated. We’ve traveled to many places around the world and can say with all sincerity that Ismail was not only a great guide but went beyond what many other guides have done. He always made sure we had everything we needed before leaving us at our Riads and often made suggestions of things to do that evening as well as the best and safest way to get there. By the end of our trip, Ismail was more than a guide. He was a friend.

  Our trip to Morocco was truly unforgettable, thanks to Morocco Best Tours and the meticulous planning by Samir. From arrival to departure, everything was perfectly organized. Our private tour guide, Fares, was exceptional, showcasing every aspect of Morocco’s beauty and culture, Each day was filled with discovery and adventure, ending with relaxation at carefully selected hotels and riads, One of the highlights was the night we spent in the Sahara Desert, The camel ride to our glamorous tents, the delicious food, and the musical entertainment made it an experience of a lifetime. Don't miss the sunrise in the desert it's breathtaking!! We made so many great memories, and I would definitely recommend Morocco Best Tours to my family and friends.

  Fascinating and immensely enjoyable Morocco experience. Morocco is a beautiful country, with each city offering its own unique charm, Our driver, Hakim, was one of the best we've ever had in all our travels. He was an engaging and thoughtful guide, making our journey even more memorable. We highly recommend him as a personal driver and guide!!! The guided tours arranged for us were excellent as well. Every guide was knowledgeable, pleasant, and added great value to our experience.
