best tour ever

02-Apr-2021

Morocco is a stunning country with rich culture. The Moroccan people are very hospitable and proud of their culture and country. Our 6-day tour gave us a good taste. Our driver Ismail was wonderful. A very kind and patient man who despite very long days and not feeling well day 2 made a few extra stops to share his country and culture with us. He made sure to point out things along the way. The description of drive from Fes to Marrakech via Ifrane and Cascades is very long. Too long for driver and tourists. The Cascades are a must-see as well as the Volubilis Roman Ruins. Perhaps make these a day trip from Marrakech. I would also encourage travellers to fly into one city (Casablanca or Marrakech) and out of the other. It saves a 4 hour drive to simply go to airport. Travellers from North America keep in mind you are in another country and culture. If something is not like you expect it doesn't mean it is bad it means it is different. We travel to learn differences and realize similarities. You will be served Moroccan food on this tour. If you don't want Moroccan food tell your guide daily. It is delicious but few options, especially for vegatarians. Travel to Morocco. Travel with Morocco Private Tours. Do your research and come prepared to learn, experience and buy beautiful things. Oh and request Ismail as a driver. ...more ...less

Highly recommended tour

08-Feb-2019

Very professional and amazing. The itinerary was perfectly arranged. Mr. Abdul as the assistant and Mr. Yassine as the driver, also the driver who picked us on the airport (I am sorry I forget the name) were very helpful. In my opinion, people in Morocco who handled my trip were so helpful and do their best. The guides were so nice and patient. I recommended this tour as the best choice if you want to go to Morocco. ...more ...less

every good tour, highly recommanded

06-Jan-2021

The tour package is recommended if you have limited time but would like to see, learn and get a bit of experience of the imperial cities of Morocco. Each city has its own character, and it is good that the tour guides are local based and were able to share lots of information. The driver (forgotten his name) who was with us from Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Volubilis, Fes until Marrakech was very good. The drive from Fes to Marrakech was really long (10plus hours) but since the landscape is changing, interesting and ever-changing- I didn't sleep a bit. The tour would have been better if they could have added other sites to visit while in Marrakech. ...more ...less
