We did a private tour with Hamid (guide) & Hamid (driver) in mid March and were incredibly happy with the experience. We traveled with 6 adults and 6 young kids so the tour hosts had to be "extra attentive" to make sure everyone was happy.
All in all, the kids still have fond memories of different sights and attractions and the adults survived (and had a blast!) with plenty of Instagram shots to show for it.
Despite spending a considerable amount of time driving, I'm not really sure there is any other way to cram down so much Morocco into so little time. You have to see and experience the variety and, unfortunately, driving is the price you pay. It is worth it though!
One of the big surprises from the trip was the diversity you experience along the way between the desert, the cities, the mountains and everything in between. If I could change one thing about the itinerary, I would spend more time in Atlas mountains. The destination was just "pass-through" when we were exploring the itinerary but, after staying there overnight, I wish we'd allocate more time for it.
Amazing trip. Amazing country. Morocco Vacation Travel Guide team - Thank you for the hospitality and A+ experience before, during and after the trip!

It was the first time in Africa for our family of 7, ages ranging from 14 to 68, and all of us were blown away by the entire experience. I worked with Mohammed ahead of time - choosing the right budget, etc. He was extremely attentive and patiently answered all of my logistics questions. We picked the “affordable luxury” price range, staying at some beautiful and conveniently located hotels and riads. We stayed 8 nights in Morocco at 6 different locations. There were very minor issues with rooms here and there, but that happens when you travel and the amazing food and hospitality would overshadow any minor inconvenience. Our driver, Aziz, was fantastic. He made sure we always felt comfortable, safe, and entertained. He answered thousands of questions - ranging from culture, history, lifestyle, music, religion. He helped us see as much of Morocco as possible and shared his love of the country! Our trip package also included private guides for each city, which is an absolute must.
Both Mohammed and Aziz asked several times throughout the trip for feedback. I wouldn’t have changed a thing… except maybe trying to get each person to fit into their own carryon suitcase and a backpack so that it’d simplify the process of getting my family organized in the mornings.

Muhamed's team is highly recommended by us to anyone visiting Morocco. Everything was planned perfectly. The team was understanding and patient. Fantastic local city guides were chosen- who had good in depth knowledge. We loved our time in Morocco because of the services. Special mention of Abdelsalem, who was our driver. He was kind, patient and showed us his country with love. We are Indians, and we recommend this tour for other Indian travelers. Muhamed's team has experience with Indian tourists and understands our specific cultural needs well.

I can’t even begin to describe how incredible this trip was, it was truly life changing. Mohammed did a wonderful job of putting together a personalized itinerary and everyone we interacted with was warm, friendly and gracious. Mustapha H. was our driver and daily guide and he was so respectful, knowledgeable, fun to chat with and always had our best interests at heart. I felt protected and cared for like I was a family member. The food and lodgings at the Riads were wonderful. I will be coming back and bringing more friends.

Our trip was one of my best trips ever. I went with two gfs on a customized tour of what we wanted. It was tons of driving but so much fun because Mustapha our driver made it this way. The beautiful scenery cannot be compared to anything I have done before. We stayed in great hotels and riads. I suggest doing all riads as they are the true experience. The food was interesting everywhere we went. The night in the desert was so fun. This trip couldn’t have been better!!

Hamid was an excellent entertainer. We had Daud, the 'world' best driver too. We had a blast of time throughout our journey. Accommodations were good, food was good. Do experience the Sahara Quad ride, if you are adventurous. It gives you an adrenaline boost. We spent 10 days exploring various cities, mountains and desert in Morocco. Try the Souk walk, to get the glimpse of local daily routines. Everything is so colorful. We found very good Chinese food in Fes also. It was a bonus !!

This trip was amazing! From ancient medinas to desert dunes to high Atlas mountains- the scenery and people were wonderful.
The desert camp (glamping camp) was just beautiful, peaceful and really an out of this world experience. From camels at sunset, a desert feast complete with local Berber entertainment to spectacular sunrise-this was a super highlight of entire trip.
Wish I had stayed a few more days there.
Driving through ancient villages and mountain gorges left us in awe and made all the miles we drove worth it.

This trip exceeded all of our high expectations and provided the most magical experience for a milestone occasion. Our driver, Said, made the trip. His attention to detail, unwavering enthusiasm, kindness, and knowledge was incredible. The pace of our trip was perfect and each location proved to be integral to getting the full “Moroccan Experience.” The accommodations were clean, safe, and centrally located. Our driver worked with each local guide to ensure impeccable care. Our driver went the extra mile to ensure our special requests were met and even took the time to surprise us, in the desert (of all places), with a custom cake celebrating the occasion.
This trip proved to be a feast of all of the senses. I cannot stress enough how great of an experience we had and have recommended this trip to all of our family in friends.
A side note to further illustrate the character of our driver: I left some belongings in a hotel. Said had a friend pick up the items and ship them back to our home along with special gifts for each of our family members.
