        Greatest Vacations
        We just got back from Marrakech and we can say that it was the best vacation ever thanks to the great service of Silence of Morocco. Mohamed and his brother Daoud were extraordinarily kind, they made us feel welcome in Morocco, especially Daoud who was our tour guide. Daoud was an exceptional tour guide from the moment he picked us up at the airport. His punctuality and dedication was excellent. He was equally wonderful, kind & attentive. He has a great knowledge of the history of Marrakech and all the places we visited. Our stay in the Sahara Desert was what we enjoyed the most equally thanks to Daoud because besides being such an excellent person he was our interpreter at the same time. I am thinking of bringing my parents next time and I will definitely use the great service of Silence of Morocco. Special thanks to our tour guide Daoud

        Spectacular trip to Morrocco!
        Wrote a looong review but lost the draft 🥵 in summary, please come to Morrocco it truly is an amazing and magical country (the Sahara, Marrakesh, Fes, Chefchaouen, long etc) and come with Silence of Morrocco. Mohammed and his brother provide incredible service even before we arrived. They designed a dream trip and made it possible. We did a 8 day trip from Marrakesh to Tangier. AMAZING experience. 🤩🤩 Everything was perfect. We really don’t have any complaint. Kudos to Mohammed and Daoud his brother. We will come back soon. Gracias por su hospitalidad e increíble servicio. 🇲🇦🇨🇴🫶🏽

        The best tour guide of Morocco
        I took a 4 day tour completely organized by Mohammad. It was a wonderful experience for the beauty of Morocco and for the excelent guide who accompanied us on this trip. Mohammad is a guide with a deep knowledge of the culture and is always ready to answer any kind of question. If you go to morocco you must book a tour with Silence of Morocco, you won't regret it.

        Thanks David, you were a phenomenal travel companion, funny but above all prepared for all our questions. We are almost sorry that we can no longer spend our days in Marrakesh with you, but surely if we were to return (probably yes) we will contact you for anything we need and for some excursions both in the city and outside!! Thanks again so much.. A hug Marco and Matteo, the Italian guys

        Thanks Mohamed, you are a super guide!
        Mohamed Rachyd is a super guide, he took us around Marrakech, showing us and explaining both the most popular monuments and places and the most secret and authentic ones. He has a profound knowledge of Morocco's culture and history and passed it on to us with enthusiasm throuout the visit of the Medina we had with him. He 's been very helpful and very discreet during the whole day and he made us fall in love with Marrakech so much that we preferred to stay an extra day to see all the places that he recommended to us. He also moves at ease within the markets and souks of Marrakech as he knows everything and everyone! We can't wait returning to Morocco and organize a desert tour with him. Thanks again, Mohamed, for the wonderful experience! See you soon! Luca

        Awesome! He is the best guide.
        We did an evening trip to the Agafay desert and watched an incredible sunset. We had such a fun time and learnt a lot! All travel was comfortable and easy - and the time was really enjoyable. This did not feel like a tourist trip - rather an intimate and real experience.

        Best trip of our lives!
        The trip with Silence of Morocco is simply amazing. The organization is magnificent and Mohammed is a well-versed, wonderful guide and person, who is now our friend. We took the 7 day tour from Tangier to Marrakech, passing through the desert (breathtaking place) and meeting charming people and places. The accommodation and food with fantastic, with closeness to the local culture and marvelous people. We recommend Morocco as a must-see destination for adventure, culture, good food and reconnection, and will recommend the trip with Mohammed and Silence of Morocco to everyone. Thank you Moha for giving us the best trip of our lives!

        A five star tour from Casablanca!!!
        We chose Silence of Morocco for our 10 days tour from Casablanca. Our driver and tour guide, Moha, was always available and very kind for all our needs. We traveled in November, the days were sunny and pleasant. All hotels and riads were clean and respectful of anti-covid19 hygiene measures. It was a perfect tour. The guides who accompanied us in the visit of the city of Fez and Marrakech were very professional. Throughout the trip, we were able to experience true Moroccan hospitality.  Unique and unforgettable experiences: quad activity, camel ride, night in the desert camp. We are really satisfied with the organization of the whole tour. We recommend Silence of Morocco because everything was perfect.

      Our trip to Morocco from Marrakesh to the desert accompanied by Mohamed was a daydream. Mohamed is not only an exceptional Guide for his culture and preparation but he is above all a sunny, helpful and patient friend who never tires of explaining and answering every question, indeed every question is an opportunity to deepen other aspects of this wonderful world of which I now feel part. Thanks Mohamed and thanks to your brother David, I carry you in my heart 💚💚💚

      Our tour guide, Mohammed was exceptional and shared super helpful information about the different sites we were visiting. Our driver, also Mohammed, was equally wonderful, kind & attentive. My daughter and I were 100% happy with the day, which was fun and full of gorgeous scenery. We learned a lot about Moroccan life outside the city and enjoyed the Atlas Studios tour too. Thank you Mohammed and Mohammed!

      My friend and I, took a tour from Marrakech to Fes. It was a very interesting tour. We liked the city of Meknes, the smallest of the imperial cities, without chaos and with a lot of history. The experience in the desert tent camp was very amazing. In about a week, we had the opportunity to see very different landscapes, historic cities, oases, valley (such as the beautiful Ziz Valley), the desert and ancient Berber villages. We definitely recommend Silence of Morocco, Mohamed was very kind and helpful throughout the trip.

      Our guide was Daoud. He truly was an exceptional guide:

      - so very knowledgable
      - attentive
      - patient
      - friendly
      - very easy to get along with

      It is clear Daoud loves his job and he made it his mission to ensure we had a great time; which we did. My Husband and I really felt we received an authentic insight of Moroccan/Berber culture & we look forward to further experiences with Daoud. Thank you for a wonderful day. Amanda & Patrick

      Mohamed was very good, very professional and prepared. We did the three-day tour in the desert, with a trip with the dromedary, and everything was perfect, nothing short of fantastic. Thank you so much for your patience and for so many laughs! See you next adventure! Highly recommended

      Today we visited the center of Marrakech, then the Bahia palace, the former Koranic school and the very intricate and fascinating souk with our precious private guide Mohamed who made us skip a lot of lines and explained to us, in excellent Italian, the history and culture of this beautiful country. Highly recommended for anyone.
