What Our Clients Say About Their Private Morocco Trips

4 Reviews
5/5
We are immensely appreciative of Ali for planning such a wonderful tour at such a hectic time of year with such little notice. His promptness and meticulousness made sure everything went without a hitch. Hassan, our driver for the entire journey, deserves a particular thank you for making our trip one to remember. From finding a necklace we left behind at a hammam to making last-minute dinner reservations in Marrakech, even after his day's work was done, he was amiable, gregarious, and always went above and beyond. Hassan friendly demeanor made every moment pleasurable, and his insights on local culture and customs enhanced our trip. We had innumerable giggles and created priceless moments together.

We had a great time on Addi five-day excursion from Marrakesh to Merzouga and the Sahara Desert! There were numerous pauses to view sights we weren't even aware of from the guidebooks, and everything was planned to customize the tour to our interests. All of the locations had excellent cuisine, and the accommodations were welcoming and cozy. Driving into the countryside and passing by some more authentic Moroccan communities was something I particularly loved. Along the way, Yessine informed us about Moroccan history and Berber music, which greatly enhanced the trip.

Our trip was amazing! Ali skillfully planned a schedule that let us see the Sahara Desert and many amazing sights in a short amount of time. Our guides, Hassan and Mustapha, were outstanding, informed, compassionate, and incredibly entertaining—and proudly shared their Berber culture while making sure we were comfortable and well-cared for. Their warmth and hospitality made the trip truly unique, and by the end, they felt more like friends than guides. We can't express how wonderful this experience was, and we're already looking forward to going again to see Fez and the charming blue city. We heartily recommend this tour company to anyone looking for a smooth and genuine Moroccan adventure!
