Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- N9633TFdiegom0 contributionsSAID IS THE BESTThe tour around the south of Morocco was Amazing! Leaving aside the fact that Morocco Is STUNNING, Said was the best guide we could have asked for, a nice guy, funny, who knows when he can take more confidence and when is better not to, i now have a fantastic friendship with him and still talk to him from time to time, i think he's a fantastic man, Who taught me very important life lessons for me, that changed me as a young "man", for that i will Forever be thankful of having had the possibility to meet Said! I advice him to everyone.Written 13 June 2024
- F1208YDfrankr0 contributions6 days of comfy and save travelingSaid was our driver on a 6-day round trip through Morocco's south in May 2024. My wife and I really enjoyed the tour, which was arranged in advance. Said knows his way around perfectly. He doesn't need a navigation system and he drives absolutely calmly and safely. We felt comfortable at all times, especially because Said has a very good sense of when it is good to stay in the background and when he is needed as a contact person. He is 100% service-oriented. Our conclusion: Thank you Said! We will be happy to travel with you again at any time.Written 10 June 2024
- Dantong J0 contributionsBeautiful memories, a great tripSaid was our driver&guide during our 8-day trip in Morocco. He communicated efficiently, gave useful tips, and told us a ton lot about the local culture en route (which I think is the best part and the very reason why we'd like a local guide). He is super nice and helpful, even seized a chance to show us a living phoenix fox (an elf-looking creature that he had mentioned to us; see the pic below). I would definitely recommend to anyone who is planning on a trip there. BTW, Morocco would be a great place for a vacation. You can experience various natural landscapes and get to know a totally different culture. The campfire party and sunrise seeing in Merzouga desert is my favorite. You should come to find out yours ;)Written 21 December 2023
- alessandraaT3686AG0 contributionsUnforgettable journeyI am a single mother with two children I wanted to visit Morocco peacefully and in a culturally stimulating way. Thanks to and on the advice of Said We visited many places, slept in oases and in the desert And he told us a thousand interesting stories. Kindness, accuracy, sympathy, attention to all details, I recommend this tour guide to everyone.Written 5 November 2023
- 689ziadf0 contributionsGreat tour, great driver, great experienceSaid took such great care of us and showed us such cool sites. We were able to learn so much about amazigh culture and even though we crossed some very difficult roads I felt safe at all times. For anyone looking to explore the desert, I highly recommend this service. Make sure to ask for Said, he is the best driver in all of Morocco!!Written 31 December 2022
- Garrick S0 contributionsThe journey and the destination were worth the trip.This was a fantastic trip. Our driver, Braham, was exceptional. The journey through the Atlas Mountains was spectacular. Ait Benhaddou was an amazing exploration. It was really relaxing to watch the gorgeous scenery around every corner. Merci beaucoup!!Written 28 December 2022
- Latoya G0 contributions6 hours of funThis was the highlight of my vacation! I got to see many things and we did a lot of exploring. My guide was very professional and very friendly. He was full of information and took amazing pictures of my daughter and myself. We laughed alot with him. He took us to an amazing place for lunch. And when we seen something that we wanted to check out even if it was not apart of the tour he stop for us. I honestly will 100 percent recommend this company.Written 30 August 2021
- Luterefik0 contributionsGreat!Loved the experience! Highly recommend. Great tour and great guy leading us. The best experience I had in a long time.Written 20 January 2021
- michaelgS8245UP0 contributionsGreat desert experienceWe took a private trip from Marrakech to Er Chegaga with Karem from Amazing Morocco. He was an excellent guide, teaching us about the sites along the route, Moroccan culture, and the Sahara. During the trip, Morocco was being impacted by closures due to the corona virus, but Karem helped find delicious tajine and snacks along the way. We quite enjoyed listening to his Berbere music as well. The desert camp was incredible, with beautiful views, camel rides, and fantastic food prepared by our hosts. Thank you, and we would recommend these tours highly!Written 20 March 2020
- VivianCui0 contributionsPerfect tripThanks to Said, we have a perfect trip in Morocco. Said has a very good driving skill, he is a very responsible tour guide. It is worth mentioning that the hotels which Said booked for us were very comfortable. It's really fun to go through four seasons a week in Morocco. I hope to visit Morocco again.❤️Written 5 February 2020
- carolleeee0 contributionsGood experienceA patient warm heart and handsome. if you choose him you will have a nice trip ! in cinema cafe we don't have enough money so we send a message to Said and just some minutes he came and saved us!Written 19 January 2020
- L4142QL_0 contributionsPretty interesting tripWe’ve been to Morocco in the Christmas Holiday 2019-2020. It’s convenient to travel with this agency. We like our guide,Said, who is a local of Sahara. A interesting guy, pretty funny, and considering. Pretty enjoy the trip. I will travel with this agency if I will come to Morocco again.Written 9 January 2020
- ginaflores070 contributionsAmazing! Great deal and would high recommendWent on a 8 day excursion around Morocco with family and friends! Sa‘id was our driver and guide for majority of the trip , amazing guide ! Very knowledgeable , patient and kind specially with all the kids we had on this trip . never had any problems with him at all, always punctual and kept us safe during the trip. I would highly recommend him for anyone who is visiting and doesn’t want to deal with loaded tours and wants something of a personal experience.Written 8 January 2020
- Dennismatamoros3050 contributionsExcellent service and great personMy family and I visited Morocco and traveled through out the mountains with said as our driver, we couldn't be any happier with his service. He was always on time and always asking if we needed something. He was always very respectful, friendly, professional and willing to help with whatever we needed. This was a perfect way to travel through Morocco because we didn't have to deal with a large crowd had we gone with a tour bus. In conclusion, we recommend Said's services to anyone who would like to visit Morocco and explore different parts of it. Thank you Said for everything and hopefully we'll see you again next time we go back to Morocco!Written 8 January 2020
- U7313PAandrewp0 contributionsSit Ben Haddou from MarrakeshThis was the perfect private tour arrangement for our family of four to spend together on a day trip Said, our guide and driver, was punctual, friendly, and helpful. Most importantly he was flexible What we preferred was the chance to visit the sites and explore at our pace with only a little guidance. This was far better than most large tours with a stricter schedule. Said was someone we genuinely enjoyed spending the day with. He also helped us find good takeout food when we returned to Marrakesh.Written 1 December 2019
