Morocco tour We arrived at the Tangier airport on October 26, 2022. Our driver, Tarik, was there to meet us. He was very friendly and so helpful. He carried our bags to our vehicle and we were off to our first stop. Our itinerary included: Tangier, Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes, Fes, Middle Atlas Mountains, Erfoud., Rissani, Sahara Desert (a camel ride and a night in a Berber tent-yeah!), Todra Gorges, Skoura, Ouarzazate, High Atlas Mountains, Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat. During our 12 days in Morocco, Tarik was always there to help us and answer any questions. We exchanged mobile phone information on Whats App so we could communicate easily at any time. We needed several bathroom stops along the way and he knew where the clean restrooms were and nice places to have lunch. Tarik was always pleasant, upbeat, helpful, and on-time for every day of our trip. His command of English was very good, and he was always concerned for our safety and comfort. Tarik became more than our guide, he became our friend. We always knew he had our best interests in mind. In addition to all these wonderful characteristics, Tarik is an extraordinary driver! He was able to maneuver our 7 passenger Mercedes van through some of the most congested traffic either of us had ever seen! Traffic consisted of cars, PEOPLE walking everywhere, “dreaded” scooters and mopeds weaving all over, sometimes donkeys with carts, tiny vehicles such as tuk-tuks, and traffic “rules” where staying in designated lanes seems to be only a suggestion! He managed all this without having an accident or fender bender. We are grateful that we didn't have to drive, as we would have been a nervous wreck at the end of the day. Thanks to Tarik, our 12 days in Morocco were very memorable. We miss him already! One suggestion, if you have the time, is to try to arrange your itinerary with 2 nights in each stop/location. We felt the pace was a bit much, having to pack up and move from the riads/hotels after just one night. Sometimes we did not arrive until early evening and couldn't enjoy some of the wonderful amenities at some of the properties (pool, spa, gardens, scenery, etc.). We typically needed to leave the next morning right after breakfast, so were unable to completely take it all in. Even those stops with 2 nights were filled with extensive local guided tours which ended up being nearly all day. Some down time would have been welcomed. If you can't take the extra time (days), consider limiting the number of stops/locations to allow at least a 2-night stay in each. Just our two cents input. I know we were compelled to “see as much as we could” (there is definitely so much to see), but sometimes quality is better than quantity. We'd recommend Morocco Tours/Experience It Tours. We have traveled to many places over the past 30+ years, typically all self-arranged and independently toured. In fact we spent 14 days in several parts of Spain prior to our arrival in Morocco- all done on our own. However, I determined with language, cultural, and logistical challenges, the best option was to hire professionals to coordinate and guide us for efficiency, security, and a worry -free experience. We feel we made the best choice for sure! Linda and Randy

Our experience with Morocco Tours more than exceeded our expectations. Our journey got off to a rocky start with our airline cancelling our flight and causing us to arrive in Casablanca a day after our tour was supposed to start. But Jeff and his staff quickly responded, put our minds at ease, adjusted their schedule and were there to greet us at the airport on our arrival. Our guide, Rashid, was a gem, knowledgeable, personable, and an amazingly skilled driver who expertly navigated everything from the winding mountain roads to the insane traffic-choked streets of Marrakesh. All the accommodations were top-notch, the Lina Ryad in Chefchaouen and the Riad Myra in Fes being our favorites. Among our best memories were the peaceful beauty of the Sahara camp at sunset and the day in Fes-- a cooking class and a tour of the Medina with a great guide who kept us entertained with his personal stories of being a kid growing up in the old city. This was our second trip to North Africa and by far the most memorable.

We had a wonderful time in Morocco. From start to finish, from our initial contact and trip planning to being dropped at the Casablanca airport, you were always responsive. The clear itinerary and other material you furnished helped us prepare for the trip and helped us throughout the tour. Our itinerary was perfect for us, well paced and picking up all the top sights. We particularly enjoyed our cooking class in Fes and visiting the dunes in the desert. We were quite pleased with our riads and hotel. They were luxurious and comfortable and all the staff were welcoming and friendly. We particularly loved La Maison Arabe in Marrakech. Our driver, Hassani, really made our visit smooth and worry free; he made everything seamless. By sharing his extensive knowledge of the country and the culture, he added enormously to our understanding throughout the tour. In addition we had wonderful guides throughout our tour. We enthusiastically recommend Morocco Tours!

We had a wonderful trip to Morocco. Our Guide Farid was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, very patient and always smiling. We all felt very safe and secure with him, especially in the medina/market visits. We could not have asked for a better guide. A thorough gentleman who was very protective of the group. Airport pickup and drop offs were smooth and easy. Our driver was good. Riad Myra in Fes and Ksar El Kabbaba were excellent. All the Hotels, rooms, dinners at local restaurants were very good. The Saharan desert experience was fantastic- we loved the camel ride and overnight camp at the Madu Camp which was beautiful and luxurious. Food and service were great. All the tours were good especially tile/pottery place in FES and Ait Ben Haddou. We had problems at Riad Chergui because of the manager who was rude and discourteous. However, our guide and our Morocco tours agent got involved and resolved the problem. Morocco tours provided us with a comfortable bus and we were thankful for the constant supply of bottled water. Morocco tours company service was very professional, thorough and supportive from start of conversation to the end of the trip. Our group of 9 ladies was very pleased and satisfied. I would recommend Morocco Tours to anyone traveling to Morocco

We had a fabulous time in Morocco! So many sites to see and places to experience! I had some preconceived thoughts about Morocco from movies and books, but the country and the people just enchanted us! Overall a fantastic time in Morocco! We now consider Rachid, our guide and driver to be a friend and will always cherish our time with him. We learned so much about the people of Morocco, local foods (I asked him to take us to places that locals eat at, and he delivered! Zaaa Zaaaa 😂😂, but the roadside bbq’s yum!! Our favorite experience and food! ), the Muslim faith, how families and society are structured, the historical sites like the Kasbahs, date palms, water wells, HAMMAMS, and the beautiful Atlas Mountains. Long van rides, lots of miles, but interesting conversations along the way with Rachid. He is very flexible and always willing to go the extra mile to value our time. I get fatigued in the afternoon, so he always made sure we were back at our Riad by 3:00 ish for a shower and rest before the evening activities. That helped my comfort a lot!! You ask him…he delivers…He was always thinking about our comfort and safety above all else. Local guides were great. Humorous, knowledgeable about their town and made sure we saw the highlights. Of course they had to take us to the places that offer sales of merchandise, which was amusing and interesting, but we loved the small vendors the most and enjoyed bartering with them. Smiles and laughter all of the time! We can’t thank you enough for your customer service. I made the initial inquiry and literally 10 minutes later received a response from Jeff about the opportunities on offer in Morocco. From the first email, to the extensive informational packet arrival three weeks before our trip start, it was smooth, friendly and helpful. Everything went as planned in Morocco and we didn’t have a worry from the moment we met our airport driver in Casablanca. We would definitely recommend Morocco Tours to our friends and family and in fact have already shared our trip with hundreds on Facebook.

My wife has wanted to travel to Morocco for many years, and since I research and plan our vacations it was left up to me. I didn't know where to start as neither of us had been anywhere in Africa. Luckily, a simple good search found a few tour companies that offered what we were looking for. After reading a lot of positive reviews from Morocco Tours I contacted them with our travel goals. I was instantly impressed with how responsive and helpful Jeff was. The planning was made very easy with just some things my wife and I wanted to add in. The entire vacation was wonderfully executed with Ali as our driver. We found all the activities and tours to be engaging and interesting. Some of the highlights for us included the Sahara experience, exploring and shopping in the medinas, the hammam, and all the delicious food. I would absolutely recommend Morocco Tours for anyone looking to travel to Morocco. It's worth the money to have such a great team planning and executing the trip. Our luggage was lost by our airline and Morocco Tours even helped call every day and track down our bags! They are a great team.

My daughter and I traveled to Morocco and had the most amazing time. The cities we visited were absolutely beautiful. We were able to immerse ourselves in the culture which is something I love to do when I travel. Our driver Rachid, was totally awesome ! He was kind, knowledgeable, friendly and very protective of us. We felt very safe the entire time. Jeff and his team are well organized and planned a very nice itinerary for us.

Our group of seven women toured with Morocco Tours and Experience It Tours from May 6 to May 13, 2022. Our guide was Ali Alami and our driver was Abdul. The two of them made a wonderful team. It was a fabulous tour, and I cannot recommend the company and Ali enough. Ali was a wonderful guide and showed us the real Morocco. He was knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, funny, philosophical and dealt immediately with any issue that arose. He even gave us each a welcoming packet filed with an assortment of wonderful gifts, including Moroccan money and a CD of Moroccan music. Ali made sure that we were comfortable at all times and anticipated any needs we might have. He also knew when something was important to us. An example of this is when we visited a preschool in the medina in Fez and I mentioned my daughter had a preschool back home. He made sure I had a picture with the teacher and students. All seven of us agree that we could not have been more pleased with Ali as our guide. Some highlights of the trip were the medina in Fez, the "blue" city of Chefchaouen, and a nightcap in Casablanca at Rick's Cafe. And, finally Ali always wore a traditional Jalabiya each day. We also appreciated staying in the Riads. It was a perfect way to help us assimilate to the culture of Morocco. The Riad at Chefchaouen was not our favorite (Dar Meziana), but we loved Dar D'Or Fes and Riad Karmela. Truly a delight to experience Moroccan hospitality and the wonderful food that was served. We felt we were able to experience the culture of Morocco. Our driver, Abdul, was always cheerful and helpful. He did a wonderful job of driving us around Morocco and helping us with our luggage.. Finally, I am sure I speak for my travel companions when I say we would recommend your company without hesitation. We had an amazing experience. We were able to feel comfortable and safe in a country so different from our own with Morocco Tours. Thank you for putting together such a great tour.
