Hassan made us all safe and he was knowledgeable, patient, kind and made us all safe during the entire trip. Our daughter and her boyfriend plans on doing the trip and We’ll definitely avail the trip with Nomadic tours and hopefully Hassan will be their guide.

Oulaid did a marvelous job in answering all kinds of questions I had, and went the extra mile when I lost my mobile phone. And about the tour, it's a great way to cover the highlights of Morocco.

Unexpected Morocco

10-Jan-2023

I travel extensively both privately and by escorted tours and this was by far my most enjoyable. The Tour Guide, Younes was very knowledgeable and caring and made sure that all our questions and concerns were answered. We were on a 15 day all encompassing tour with a lot of traveling between different locations and it went like clockwork. Highly recommended.

This tour took us to most of the Moroccan tourist destinations, and provided a broad smattering of diverse cultural engagements. Whether it was walking through the marketplace, visiting a mosque, sitting with a local family, learning how to create olive oil, learning to cook with local spices, or riding camels in the Sahara, the tour gave a very solid overview of the country. I really appreciated the tour's pace, and the guide's knowledge and commitment to our safety and enjoyment.
