  It was an amazing experience and Hassan created an incredible itinerary that gave us access to all of the key sites in the country. We went to Rabat, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Meknes, Fez, Cedar Forest, Mefilt, Merzouga, Dades Gorge, Toudra Gorge, Ouarzazate, Marrakesh, Essaouira, Casablanca. The riads we stayed at were beautiful and welcoming. The culture and people were wonderful. I can't say enough good things about the trip and Hassan. In addition, our driver Mustapha was fabulous. He made the long hours in the car enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, personable, and fun. I would let him drive me anywhere!

  Our trip to Morocco was truly magical and probably one of the best trips of my life (including 25 other countries visited so far)!! This was my first time traveling via a travel agency and with a guide / driver and I cannot recommend Majid or our amazing guide Mouad enough!! My heart is so full after this trip and our experience with them! Morocco is a beautiful country with kind people, amazing food, adventure, relaxation, shopping, art, music and more. Majid did a great job organizing the details of the trip and providing recommendations so our itinerary had it all! Once we arrived to Casablanca, we were met at the airport by our fantastic guide Mouad who's big smile, great sense of humor, attention to detail and thoughtfulness truly left a huge impression on our group. Mouad was an extremely safe and organized driver. We could relax and have fun because we knew he had everything handled. He frequently broke up our longer drives for "great stops" along our route which allowed us to really get a feel for the beautiful people, culture and cuisine of Morocco that we would not have found with out him. Some of my favorites stops were to get fresh squeezed pomegranate juice, prickly pears and oranges from local farms, coffee from roadside vendors, freshly shucked oysters right from the ocean, assorted Moroccan cookies from an amazing bakery, henna tattoos from a local village, hikes along the sea and mountains, etc. Mouad is DEFINITELY who you want as your guide! He is positive, funny, knowledgeable, easy going, and he has a gift for reading people and assessing their needs. He flexed perfectly from giving us great information on the country, being our hype-man when we were having fun and excited, finding anything we needed (ice, medicine, a birthday cake, etc), and creating a calm environment when everyone wanted to relax in the car. He also invited us to his family's home for lunch in the desert which was a heartwarming experience that I'll never forget. He helped us get a special birthday cake in the desert, play a prank our on friend in the Dedas Valley and he helped us change our plans a few times so we could stay in the best places (with the best rooms) and be sure to see Essoueria which was our favorite! Our trip to Morocco was full of so much laughter, adventure, learning and love all thanks to Mouad! My favorite adventures of this trip were wandering the narrow medina streets in Fez, hiking with monkeys in the Atlas mountains, riding camels, ATVs and 4x4s through the Sahara desert, dancing to Gnawa and Tinariwen music at the desert, camp, meeting Mouad's family in Rissani, shopping for a custom leather jacket and Berber rugs in the Atlas mountains, relaxing at the Hammam in Marrakesh, laughing and eating together, trying street food in Essoueira, and galloping down the beach on horseback in Essoueira. Thank you to Mouad and Majid! <3

  We did a one-week driving tour through Morocco with our local guide and driver, Mouad. Mouad was great! He always had a smile on his face and nothing was a problem he wouldn't tackle. We arrived in Marrakesh and drove to the picturesque Todra Gorge - wow! spectacular views. We did some beginner rock climbing with an expert guide and rented a bicycle to visit nearby rock formations and learn about the local cultures. Mouad was engaged and helpful with small things like getting local fruits and helping with communication. After that, we drove to the edge of the Sahara and rode camels into the sunset. We slept in a luxurious tent at a camp in the desert near Merzouga. We continued onto Fez, Rabat, Casablanca, and back to Marrakesh. At each locale we met with a local guide who provided insights on life in that city. All the guides helped us take beautiful photos that captured the local experience. We loved staying at the recommended unique properties (riads) which were comfortable to luxurious but gave a local flair. The travel was easy and safe with our driver providing lots of fascinating insights on life in Morroco. We are looking forward to our next visit. We would recommend them and plan on using their services again.
