          Good expeeiences with our tour guide Rachod in Morocco
          I had the pleasure of exploring Morocco with Rachid as our driver, guide, and tour leader, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment he picked us up, Rachid impressed us with his professionalism, warmth, and incredible knowledge. He made us feel safe and cared for throughout the journey, ensuring we experienced the best of Morocco. Rachid's driving skills are outstanding, whether navigating busy city streets, the mountain roads, or the vast desert landscapes. He always drove with care and precision, making our travels comfortable and stress-free. As a guide, he went above and beyond, sharing fascinating insights about Morocco’s history, culture, and traditions. He answered all our questions with patience. Thanks to Rachid, this trip was more than a vacation—it was an unforgettable adventure filled with authentic experiences, beautiful landscapes, and rich cultural encounters. If you’re planning a trip to Morocco, Rachid is the perfect guide to make your journey exceptional. Highly, highly recommended!

          A great private Morocco trip
          Thanks for the guide taking us to have a private trip around the whole Morocco. He is very very responsible, warm and professional. And the price is reasonable, the accommodation is great. In all, it’s a very great trip. If next time I visit Morocco, I’ll choose the guide again! Looking forward to see you again!

          Beautiful daytrip in ourika.
          We went on a day trip to ourika to see the waterfalls. It was absolutely beautiful. We were picked up at the riad on time and travelled to ourika. The journey was really pleasant. When we arrived in ourika, Raschid started walking with us and encouraged us to keep going until we reached the waterfalls. Of course, he made sure that none of us slipped the whole time and always showed us how to walk/climb. Sturdy shoes make sense :-) At the top we had a totally beautiful view and the mountains are fantastic. A big thank you to Raschid. It was great to have met you. We would book again at any time.

          Best trip ever
          The view was fabulous in Morocco especially in the desert. I wish I could stayed for longer time. Our tour guide is super cool as well. He took us to many different places, towns and tried a lot of local food.

          Our driver Mohamed took us on our city tour he was very helpful kept in touch so we knew exactly where and when to meet him. He was polite and courteous and friendly and easy on the eye. We visited a palace,tombs and a mosque. And had time to stroll around the square at leisure. Would definitely recommend Thank you

          The journey to the Sahara
          Moroccan vacations made my trip an unforgettable experience. My two brothers and I were planning to visit the Sahara. I contacted Rashid three weeks before the trip and rash is was warm and pleasant and organized everything he asked us at the highest level. We feel and if we need anything else, our experience was unforgettable. The privilege of Rashid's organization and the excellent driver he recommended throughout the trip. We met other groups and kept saying that the best thing we did was to be with Momi, the driver Rashid arranged for us. I strongly recommend not to hesitate, take morocan vacation. It is important to say that the price Rashid offered us was significantly lower than the rest of the competitors, go for Rashid, you won't regret it

          Super!
          A very recommended private trip. The schedule was planned very well to ensure that we got the full experience of Marrakesh and Merzouga. Rachid was very accommodating and kept ensuring everyone’s comfort during the trip. Highlights: 1. Really good choices of hotels (riads) during the trip! 2. Camel riding and ATV experience in Sahara should be in your bucket list 3. You’ll get to try local delicacies 4. Rachid makes very good Instagram reels :)

        On the day of the trip, we were picked up by a young man from the company (I forgot his name, unfortunately!), who was our guide and driver. We went to the top of Atlas mountain, which is a bit more than 2km higher than the sea level. The guide was a nice guy who is originally from a tribal Berber community. Despite he was raised in mountains in houses made of stone, far from Marrakesh, he managed to get high education and moved to Marrakesh. On the way up to the Atlas, we passed many of awe-inspiring Berber villages, which looked like if they were lost in time.

        We visited Kasbah Telouet, built in the 18-19th centuries, which belonged to one influential guy who was of almost king status over Berbers and Marrakesh people. He was a son of slaves, a ruthless guy, killing those who would oppose him. He was a friend of France but lost his power eventually. His house/castle has only partially survived.

        Next, we went to Ait-Ben-Haddou, another UNESCO heritage site. It is a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls. This is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers. The oldest constructions were built in the 17th century, and since then little has changed about them – there’s no electricity, no sewers, and you need to go 3km away with a donkey from the settlement to get water. There’s a river nearby, which actually looks like a tiny stream of water. The water is very salty there, and people wash their clothes there. There’s something like an oasis where people grow some apples, figs, dates and almonds, and, if you are lucky, you can catch some fish. The village is strategically located on a route between Sahara and Marrakech. Crafters of the village would sell their crafts for food. They also would buy salt to preserve food for longer. Their storage place is on the top of the tallest hill, where villagers looked for caravans, stored food supplies, and where women and children hid if someone dared to attack the village.

        Interestingly, many movies were filmed there, including Game of Thrones and Gladiator.

        Our local guide also brought us into one shop where one seller showed a method used for writing secret messages. For example, you can use very sugary tea instead of ink on the paper. When it dries out, you don’t see anything, but if you bring this paper to fire, the sugar caramelises, and you see the message. He gave me a little painting he did in less than 10 seconds as a gift. I had no cash to buy any of his paintings – I regret this. The food in a restaurant nearby was edible but not as good as in some places in Marrakesh.

        On the way back, it was snowing heavily. Being in clouds felt wet and cold, but seeing heavy snow was something totally unexpected. The trip lasted 12h, and I got exhausted. However, I got to see so many great places and get immersed in a history of Morocco, I had a great company - our guide, who stopped any time my co-traveller or I asked him, and it is an amazing trip indeed.

        I highly recommend this agency - I booked camel ride with them and was left highly satisfied.

        This company was really attentive and made sure that we knew exactly where to meet and what to do with this trip. Our driver was Ali who was a very nice and gentle person. He was also a safe driver. Visiting Ait-Ben-Haddou is an amazing experience. It is genuinely one of the most amazing sites you’ll ever see. This trip offers the opportunity to see it while staying based in Marrakech which works for families. It means the trip is all about the driving. It is a long drive but it is spectacular. The main point to make is that Ali made us feel safe on the drive and was great company. It was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend the trip, the company and Ali.

        Yassin is a great guide and driver. We felt very safe. It is a very very long drive so you should really keep that in mind. But it is a perfect way to see more of Marocco and the sites where beautful. Yassin was on time, friendly, flexible and respectable for our space. The car was very comfortable, got a lot of water. The only downside was that there wasn't a lot of information about the sites. But all together a great day and great trip!

        Our driver and guide, Omar, picked us up at our hotel and we left Marrakech at 0800 heading towards the Atlas Mountains. There are a few Berber villages along the way and we did stop for photos of the scenic landscape. The mountains are colourful with red, yellow sandstones and some with plantation but mostly are barren. After a long drive, we arrived at the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, took a few beautiful photos and was impressed there were about 26 Hollywood movies filmed here. There are few shops in the square but it is ashamed that there weren't many people living in the square anymore.

        After Kasbah in Ait Ben Haddou, Omar drove us to Ouarzazate, where we had lunch and visited the film studios. The stages are made from plastic, visit with an open mind, it looks real though.

        Another 4 hours drive back to Marrakech. Omar is a good driver and we thanked him for driving us the whole day, on windy roads, and bumpy roads due to road constructions.

        The mountains and landscape are beautiful. Recommended.
