      Authentic desert experience
      What a fabulous trip! Abdul, our private driver, picked us up directly at our hotel and gave us 3 very full days of adventure! We had a private tour of Ait Ben Houdda walking all the way up to the top of the Kasbah, saw stunning gorges, stopped at several places going through the Atlas Mountains to get great photos and pick up some souvenirs of Morroco. My husband even learned how to play the bongo - sort of😉 and got a kiss from a camel! The experience of a lifetime was riding camels into the desert to a luxury tented camp, having a traditional Moroccan dinner complete with a campfire and local music, and riding the camels back through the dunes in the morning. The trip back to Marrakech turned out to be something no one could have predicted. The road through the mountains closed due to snow as we made our way so Abdul and Rachid made the wise decision to take us all the way around the south end of the mountains (an extra 8 hours!) to get us back to Marrakech in time for our flight. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were safe. We will definitely go back to Morroco to explore more of the country and will make sure we have Abdul as our escort.

      Incredible 5-day Desert Tour from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga!
      Highly, highly recommend Discover Morocco Tours. We actually did a 5 day / 6 nights Fes to Merzouga to Marrakesh trip, with a full day in each of the cities. Our dedicated driver, Rachid A was outstanding. Helpful, friendly, kind, thoughtful. We also had local day guides at several locations - they were excellent. trip/itinerary planning was smooth and effective, with flexibility in choice of lodging. Nothing but good things to say about our experience. We were two parents and our 21-year-old daughter traveling together. Our first time in Morocco.

      Peace of Paradise 🌵
      Our driver Karim went above and beyond the call of duty a true professional. Our first evening was at the beautiful Riad Dades Birds - yummiest lemon chicken ever! Once we arrived at the desert and allocated our camel 🐪 our trek began, stopping to admire the sunset. Our campsite was lovely and to my surprise all tents had an ensuite. A hearty dinner was presented and definitely enjoyed. The night was finished off around the fire with drums, songs and laughter. Early but yummy breakfast for those who choose to ride the camels back to the starting point. I did this trip with my 19 year old son and would do it again in a heartbeat. No hesitation in recommending Discover Morocco Tours.

      I enjoyed visiting Paradise Valley. The challenge of hiking was wonderful! The boat ride on the Mediterranean Sea and food was amazing and our guide was patient and friendly. I look forward to another visit to Morocco. Beautiful country and polite people.

      Bespoke Agadir Tour Experience
      I will start with the communication which was excellent from start to finish. I got immediate and clear response to all my enquiries. I asked for a bespoke tour of Agadir for a group of 40, family and friends which was arranged beautifully. The tour guide Abdel was fantastic and got along with us all. The tour package was delivered as specified and we all thoroughly enjoyed the outings, took beautiful pictures and had fun

      Excellent tour
      We had an amazing 11 days. We did a custom tour over different parts of Morocco. Our tour director Abdullah and driver Brian were awesome and very accommodative. One of our member’s checked in luggage did not arrive at Casablanca with us and they gave us ride to the airport back and again the next day for the luggage (instead of telling us to take a cab). We have children and had to stop frequently for restrooms when we drove through different parts of the country. We all are vegetarians and they did the best they could to accommodate our needs. In fact, one night we craved Indian vegetarian food (after so many days of Moroccan food) that they extended their day by two hours to give us rides back and forth from the restaurant. We felt very safe and informed throughout the tour. Most of the local tour guides were good except for the ones in FES and Marrakech. We would definitely recommend Discover Morocco to our friends and family.

      More than a driver
      We got 7 days tour starting from Marrakesh - Fes - Chefchouen - Rabat and ending in Casablanca. We did have a great time exploring places thanks to Rachid, the driver. He is very helpful, responsive and patient with us. He is as knowledgable as a tour guid if not even more. He took us to good restaurants and recommended specialties at every regions we have been to. We always felt safe with his driving. Thank you, Rachid.

      Best Tour Company in Morocco
      We worked with Rachid (owner) to coordinate 7 days/8 nights tour and he is great to work with. He was always very responsive, facilitated all our needs and preferred hotels etc. He was always available to talk if we had any questions. He had arranged Rachid (another person from his company) to be our driver and tour guide. This Rachid was wonderful as well to work with. He was always there for any place we wanted to go and showed us around by telling about the places, culture etc. We had a great time in Morocco and will strongly recommend this company to anyone.

    Abdellah our guide and driver is an extraordinary man, rich in knowledge, with an innate sense of sharing. Arriving on time at the agreed meeting point, he took us up to 2260m to discover his beautiful region of the High Atlas, at the gates of the Sahara, in a 4x4.
    Arriving in Ouarzazate, we were able to visit this surprising city and the ATLAS film studio (8€/person).
    After a lunch break, head to the exceptional Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, fortunately restored and preserved by UNESCO. The local guide Mohamed told us the history of his village.
    The mountainous landscape of the Atlas is truly fantastic and amazed us.
    We met locals and were able to understand their way of life.
    To conclude, we recommend this agency 200%

    Excellent, Excellent, Excellent,

    We are a popular travel blogger and a young family of 3, #CKv, we had booked a 3 day tour to Merzouga online after reading reviews of Discover Morocco tours and it proved to be the best choice. The owner Rashid kept us informed in run up and throughout the tour to make sure we have the best possible experience and Moroccon hospiatality. He made sure to give us the most comfortable private 4x4 with the best driver / tour guide Youssef, who made our entire journey memorable.

    we literally had a road trip of South Morocco and Youssef stopped by every breath taking location and took us to the best spots on the way including Ait Ben Haddou, Tinghir Valley,Todgha Pass, Daraa Valley, Merzouga Desert.

    They made us feel home, safe and the best holiday experience on this excursion. The trip was so fulfilling that we paid over and above the quoted fees.

    To top it up they even provide us with free airport transfer with driver Mustapha who was very helpful, and warm person.

    i would thoroughly recommend Discover Morocco Tours.
