EXCELLENT Based on 64 reviews Princess Lei E2024-10-02Verified Morocco is such a wonderful place to visit and explore. Thanks to our Morocco tours for a stress free and enjoyable travel experience. Our 7 days tour was so quick and still there is a lot to explore. Morocco is such a vibrant place. 443Lizzie2024-09-09Verified Our Morocco Tour - company and driver Our very friendly driver Hakim, really made our trip. He was very courteous and ensured our safety and well being at every step of the way from Casablanca, Marrakech, our desert camp, Fes and Tangier over 12 days.Our Morocco Tour company was very professional to liaise with when researching and booking our private tour. They ensured all our quality accommodation was in the heart of the old Médinas and close to major sites and places to visit. The guides they engaged were very knowledgeable and friendly. This is a top tour company that ensured we got the best of everything. Thoroughly recommended. J M2024-08-17Verified Fes is an amazing cultural experience Fes is an amazing cultural experience. It’s not the best view or the cleanest, but the Medina is worth visiting with a local tourist guide, it’s a good experience and that maze that has no map is rightfully a unesco world heritage site. Brings Aladdin vibes. J M2023-11-12Verified One-of-a-kind experience! Morocco- [ ] There were 9 of us coming to Morocco for 9 days and there were specific places to see on the checklist. Our Morocco Tours tailored an itinerary for us that ticked all the boxes. Everything was ready when we got there. It was a hassle-free trip— all we had to do was hop into the mini-bus, settle in on the next local riad, go exploring and take lots of pictures and on some days, think about where we would have lunch (which Ibrahim was helpful with recommendations). Moroccan breakfasts were always included. And you could pay for dinner at the local riads. We got to explore some places on our own like Chefchaouen and Rabat. In Fes (and its maze of allweyways) and Marrakech, we had cultural tours with very knowledgeable tour guides. Our road-trips included stops at picturesque locations. This trip made me appreciate how much there is to Morocco: it could be sweltering in Aït Benhaddou, but it could be chilly in Ifrane. The Sahara Desert is a MUST TRY- it was an amazing experience to camel-ride to camp and watch the sunrise the next day. If you want an immersive Moroccan experience (eat at local food places and sleep in local riads), book a trip with Our Morocco Tours. Ibrahim was a well-balanced tour guide, insightful and accommodating— he paced his sharing of things you need to know about Morocco well and he knew when you were due for a break from Moroccan cuisine :) Morocco is beautiful and Our Morocco Tours had shown us this. I definitely recommend! Dino Paolo V2023-11-09Verified Amazing Morocco Experience! We had a great Morocco experience thanks to Ibrahim and Hahmid. They really took care of us and took us to the must see places and even made the road travel enjoyable. The highlight of the trip for me was the stay at the Sahara experience which makes me want to go back! The riad that we stayed in the places we visited are also very good, each one is unique and has its own character. They also used knowledgeable tour guides in Fes and Marrakech which gave us more insights into the Moroccan culture. I would definitely recommend Our Morocco Tours to friends and families especially to those who want to have a proper Moroccan experience. Fe S2023-11-07Verified Highly recommended! Best holiday so far! Highly recommended! Ibrahim has been amazing since day 1 until the end of our tour. He has been helpful and very accommodating during our trip. The riads and hotels we have stayed for 9 days are topnotched. Indeed one of the best holidays and experience. Will definitely be back in Morocco and book tours again with Ibrahim! Glean D2022-11-29Verified Nice Moroccan Experience Overall it was really fun. Very nice accomodation from these guys. They always tend to our needs. They know a lot about Morocco and they can be more than tour guides. Very friendly and approachable. Will definitely contact them again for another Morocco tour. Frederik2022-08-11Verified Very good Very nice experience, I recommend it to everyone. Nice service and quality, I will definitely go again. Annemie2022-03-15Verified Wonderful experience I travelled with Our Morocco Tours twice . The second time was a 2 weeks' trip throughout the South of Morocco. Ibrahim was just great, one can trust him with everything and he will do everything within his power to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. I travelled as a single lady and being able to count on someone blindly is invaluable. As he is a local one can experience Morocco in a much more original way. If you too have thought of making such a trip do not hesitate . Our Morocco Tours is the help you need and you too will come back again and again. Marco M2020-05-24Verified Highly recommend Highly recommend Trips For Morocco!! Our guide, Hassan, was amazing. From the first evening when we were welcomed and every day after, his sense of humour, his attention to everyone's needs, his knowledge and passion for his country and his work, really made this a unique and special trip. He is enthusiastic and energetic, shared so many fascinating stories, happily took tons of photos for us, and was endlessly patient when we stopped for any little thing. Whenever we were introduced to local guides or owners of the places we stayed it was clear that he had a long standing relationship with them and the warm welcome were received made it so much more personal. We have to thank Hassan for these sincere introductions that brought us closer into the real lives of the people we met. The itinerary was varied and was saw SO much. This holiday was one of the best I have ever had.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
