Thank you MPT and TourHub team

25-Oct-2023

My encounter with Morocco Private Tours proved to be truly remarkable. From exciting buggy rides amidst awe-inspiring landscapes to a serene camel journey that immersed me in the enchantment of the desert, each activity offered a distinct and thrilling experience. The standout moment was undeniably the memorable hot air balloon excursion over Marrakech—an incredibly tranquil and captivating adventure. Additionally, the luxurious desert camp surpassed all expectations, featuring warm hospitality, delectable traditional cuisine, and the enchanting melodies of Berber music, creating a delightful ambiance. All of these extraordinary moments were facilitated by Morocco Private Tours and their outstanding guide Abdul, who infused each instance with expertise and attentiveness. I wholeheartedly recommend this comprehensive and distinctive adventure in Morocco. Gratitude to Morocco Private Tours for delivering an unforgettable journey! ...more ...less

Victoria   Canada

genuine and authentic Sahara adventure

06-Oct-2022

The entire Morocco Private team Coordinated with TourHub team proved to be outstanding, from Ismail overseeing all arrangements to the remarkable Addull, our guide for five days. Traveling with our two daughters, aged 10 and 7, was a delightful experience as Addull took excellent care of them. He displayed kindness, patience, and thoughtfulness, even adjusting the itinerary to align with their interest in fossils. While certain parts of Morocco are frequented by tourists, such as the Sahara, the team managed to make the experience feel special and tailored to our preferences. The accommodations were of high quality, and although the food varied, the ones organized directly by Addull were fantastic (Berber pizza is a must-try!). I highly recommend their services. ...more ...less
