Perfect 6 Days Morocco Tour Husband and I (from the USA) spend 6 days exploring this beautiful country with our tour guide and driver from Morocco Packages Holidays. The car that picked us up and was "our vehicle" as we traveled through the country was far above our expectations. Extremely clean and well maintained. Our guide, Moha, was very patient and answered all our questions, and gave us wonderful insight into what life is like in Morocco. The highlight of our trip was our stay in the Sahara desert in a luxury camp. Campfire and music under the milky way is a memory I will cherish forever. I highly recommend this tour company.
6 day tour of Morocco Starting from Casablanca We were extremely pleased with our experience with the Morocco Packages Holidays. Our driver was Ali who was wonderful. He catered to our needs, was respectful and we felt safe at all times. Our Guide in Fes was very knowledgeable and we had a good time overall. We highly recommend using the Morocco Packages Holidays. They planned all our excursions for us including a tour of Fes, a day trip to the Atlas Mountains and Essaouria. We used their car and driver for the entire duration of our trip which made our planning hassle-free.
6 Days Tour from Casablanca to Marrakech We found this tour on the internet and we had some difficulties understanding each other when we tried to customize the trip. After many emails, we finally agreed on a tour fitting with our expectations. Then we paid the deposit but we were very surprised that we had received confirmation of registration. We were quite worried when we arrived in Casablanca, but finally, our guide and driver were waiting for us as planned. We had spent 6 unforgettable days, the selected hotels were very nice. We especially loved the Riad in Fes. During our tour, we had a local guide in Fes which was a good compliment to our guides. The rhythm of the activities was good, we had time to rest, we always have enough time to stop when we asked. Omar and Idir ( our guide and driver) were very nice and are an important part of the success of our trip. We exchanged about many subjects with them and we have the feeling that they let us feel what Morocco is. Overall the experience was awesome, the organization was perfect, the guides were great, the itinerary appropriate and we love the choice of hotel, camel tour, food... We highly recommend it, you will enjoy it.
We are a team of passionate travelers who have fallen in love with the enchanting beauty and rich culture of Morocco.
