What Our Clients Say About Their Private Morocco Trips

6 Reviews
5/5
For two families, we reserved a private tour with a driver and guide through Sahara Moroco Travel. Addi was our guide, and Aziz was our driver. Addi taught us a lot about the history and culture of Morocco, and we felt secure traveling there with them. They were adaptable and laid back, pausing when necessary because we have children between the ages of six and eleven. Said helped set everything up and was very helpful, answering my queries before the trip. We chose four- to five-star hotels because they were good, and we were pleased with every reservation. The overnight stay in the desert camp with the camel ride to the location was the high point of our journey.

Exceptional. How would you define perfection? Ali, the tour operator/owner, should come first.He is a laid-back, patient, and goal-oriented individual. My entire itinerary had to be redone two months prior, which drove him a little insane. He assisted me in whatever manner he could, just going with the flow. He stepped in when there were problems.left us in the capable hands of his guides Hassan, Zaid, and an amazing driver, and took great care of us. To ensure our satisfaction, they all went above and above their call of duty. They genuinely give a damn about your requirements and time there. My group and I will always treasure our experience in Morocco, and we owe Sahara Moroccan Travel a debt of gratitude.We will continue to use them. Many thanks, Ali, Hassan and Zaid.

Choosing Sahara Morocco Travel was the wisest move. My spouse and I both agree that our 5 days with Ali were the high point of our trip to Morocco. It was a dream as he led us from Fez to Marrakech across the Sahara Desert and Atlas Mountains. He truly tailored our days to our interests, even taking us to a desert market and having tea with a nomadic family. He led us to a tiny store owned by an Amazigh family that produced lovely items when we mentioned that we would want to buy a rug. We never felt hurried, he answered all of our questions, and he taught us so much every day. We stayed at Moonlight Desert Camp, which is also his, and it was stunning. I wish we had spent one more night there. We received the strange request to locate needle and thread after my husband's slacks tore. While we were halted in a town, Ali hunted some for us! The only thing we regret is that we didn't reserve additional days with Ali! Depending on our schedule, we would love to go five or more days the next time. Allow Ali to show you Morocco as a favor to yourself.

Sahara Morocco Travel offered a four-day, three-night desert excursion from Marakesh to Fez, which I took with two friends. During our ten days in Morocco, the desert experience was unquestionably the high point of our journey. Hassan, our guide, was excellent! Although we spent a lot of time in the car, he did a fantastic job of interspersing the route with fascinating stops and adequate restroom breaks. At night, it was a lot of fun to sit around the campfire and listen to music in the desert camp, and the sunsets were very amazing. If you can, spend an additional day in the desert and rent some dune buggies. I heartily recommend this tour!
