Perfect 7-day tour in Morocco We did a seven-day tour with this company with three small children. Our driver Ali was at the airport before our plane even landed. He was very courteous throughout the entire trip. He is excellent with children. Our kids still talk about him and still ask why we do not see him. It felt like he was part of the family. We had a great time in Morocco, we got to see many of the important sites and spent a night in the desert. I highly recommend this company for your tour in Morocco. If you can be comfortable planning a trip through WhatsApp then this is the company for you because everything went smoothly once we got there. Everything was well organized between Abdoul, the tour company, the hotels, and desert folks. If you get the chance to do a tour in Morocco, give this company a try. You will have the time of your life.
We are a team of passionate travelers who have fallen in love with the enchanting beauty and rich culture of Morocco.
