  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.

  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.

  We hired Morocco Travel for an eleven-day private grand tour of Morocco. My girlfriend and I were the only travelers on this tour and simply put, 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 Travel, we have knowledge and memories of Morocco that will last a lifetime!

  BRILLIANT!!!! Absolutely fantastic! After looking through tours of Morocco and nothing matching where I specifically wanted to go, I got in touch with Ali from Morocco Travel and I am so glad I did. He organised our 09 day/10 night tour. He went out of his way to organise the tour for my husband and I to all the places we wanted to see, he organised the whole trip, accommodation, excursions and we even went to a family members traditional Berber wedding - it was fabulous. We met people on other tours while we were there and I am so glad I went with Ali and Morocco Travell, I could not fault Ali, he was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, attentive and went out of his way to make our trip so memorable and the price was fantastic. If you are thinking of going to Morocco, and you definitely should :) then send Ali from Morocco Travel an email on what you would like to see and do and he will put together a fantastic itinerary and guide you through the whole booking and planning process.

  Truly wonderful. Morocco Travel 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 Travel.

  My husband, parents and I took a 09 day trip to Morocco. I planned the itinerary and the hotels. All we wanted was a driver who could take us from place to place. We contacted Morocco Travel on the recommendation of a family we knew who had traveled to Morocco two years ago and who had used a driver and guide through the company. We did an entire loop around the country from Casablanca, Essaouira, Marrakesh, the desert, Fes (with a side trip to Meknes and Volubilis), Chefchaouen and back to Casablanca (with a stop in Rabat). Our driver, Idir, was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of history and background about the places we visited and the places we passed. Between him, our research and our guide book, we didn't miss having a guide at all. Importantly, he was a safe driver and knew where he was going. We had thought about driving ourselves, but in the end, we were glad to have left it to a professional. He avoided all speed traps, of which there were many, and knew the roads. Also, Idir was very kind and considerate and made each of us feel comfortable. His English was great, so we had no trouble communicating with him. We're not a fan of stopping at tourist shopping places, and Idir respected that. We had tea with his family, which was also nice. We spent a lot of time in the car, and we always felt safe with Idir. We highly recommend Idir and Morocco Travel if you're looking for some assistance in Morocco.

  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 Travel 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 Travel, and you for sure will be in good hands if you get Hamid!

  As two women traveling in Morocco (09 days) we decided hiring a local Moroccan-born guide would be the most efficient and offer the greatest peace of mind. We were right and had a wonderful and very memorable time (memories which will last a lifetime). The broad overview: 1) trustworthy/professional; 2) organized; 3) highly knowledgeable of the history, culture, activities; 4) knew many local people in every town, and 5) allowed for flexibility on start times, end times, and what to see and do each day. We felt safe at ALL times and enjoyed every aspect of the tour. Also worth noting be prepared for a few longer drives, but absolutely worth it. The desert camp was the highlight of the entire trip. Additionally, if you are open to hotel types the team can help and book... if you want only high-end hotels (they go quick) and I would suggest booking some yourself far in advance.

  We booked the 09 days culture tour of Morocco for late May. Operator Karim was very helpful in making the arrangements. He quickly responded to any questions and made great efforts to accommodate our requests. The entire trip was pleasant and the arrangements are seamless. Our driver/guide, Hassan, is wonderful! He is most responsible, caring, and knowledgeable. From the airport pick up to the entire trip to returning to the airport, he took care everything without any issues. He made extra effort to ensure that we were safe and not getting loss in the Medina. We learned a great deal of Morocco with Hassan through the entire trip. He is also an excellent photographer, taking beautiful group pictures for us. The van ride was very comfortable. The highlight was the camel ride and overnight in desert tents. The experience was so wonderful! The medina, the markets, and Jamaal square in Marrakech were among the best experiences.

  We did a week tour in morocco with Morocco Travel, and everything was perfectly organized. We started our tour in Marrakech and it covered, high atlas, Dades Valley, the desert, Fes, the blue city, and then Casablanca. We had an amazing guide Samad, he was so nice, knowledgeable, and always there when we needed him. All the accommodations chosen for us were great and the food was excellent. I recommend this company to anyone who wants to enjoy their Morocco holiday.
