8 days tour from Casablanca to Marrakech my husband and I had a great 8 days in morocco which was unforgettable. We emailed Said to arrange the trip for us and he was very quick responding to our questions as we had many but he was very responsive. Our driver/guide Mohammed with a Toyota land cruiser made our trip memorable, we started in Casablanca heading to Fes via the capital Rabat, Meknes, Volubilis, and then the Sahara desert, for two nights as we wanted to enjoy the desert and its secrets, the camp was wonderful and the tent was 5 stars, with a shower and flush toilet inside. The next day was fun too passing by the massive tundra gores and Tingher ending up in a great hotel in Dades valley with a pool on the terrace, the food was varied as they had the buffet so that was great for me since I'm vegetarian. The adventure continued the next day to Marrakech via ait Benhaddou a movie set for many international movies had a great time visiting the kasbah before driving to Marrakech via the Tichka pass the road was very curvy but Mohammed was very attentive and excellent, Marrakech was on our highlights so we spent 3 nights before flying back home, what an experience !!! Do not hesitate to contact Morocco Tours company if you are willing to visit Morocco. Chokkrane Said and Mohammed for the great trip.
8 days in Morocco Unforgettable experience. Beautiful country. I fall in love with the blue colors of Chefchaouen. In fact in my bedroom now, I changed the color of my curtains. I enjoyed shopping too. I bought the best quality Berber carpet. And the photos are worth posting on Instagram To our guide and driver, very accommodating and fun to be with. So if you read or heard bad reviews about Morocco. Don’t listen. Go and see by yourself!
