Best trip to morocco ever
As a solo male traveler, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Morocco. The small group tour with Desert Trails was perfectly balanced - great mix of guided activities and free time. Highlights included hiking in the Atlas Mountains and bargaining in Marrakech's souks (with helpful tips from our guide). The riad accommodations were charming and the group meals were a fantastic way to bond with fellow travelers. Already planning my return!

An Absolutely Magical Moroccan Adventure!
From the moment we arrived in Casablanca to our final sunset in the Sahara, this tour was perfection! Our guide, Rachid, made every historical site come alive with his knowledge. The highlight was definitely our luxury desert camp - falling asleep under a blanket of stars after traditional Berber music around the fire. Atlas Luxury Tours thought of every detail. Merci for this unforgettable experience!

Best Cultural Immersion We've Ever Had
As frequent travelers, we can honestly say this Morocco tour exceeded all expectations. The food tour through Fes' medina, the breathtaking Todgha Gorge, and our stay in a restored riad were all highlights. Special mention to our driver Mohammed who navigated the Atlas Mountains like a pro. Morocco Discovery Tours delivered an authentic, well-paced itinerary that balanced activity with relaxation.

Incredible Experience with Minor Hiccups
Overall an amazing trip! The blue city of Chefchaouen was even more beautiful in person, and our camel trek at sunset was magical. One point off because our Marrakech hotel room wasn't ready upon arrival, but the tour company resolved it quickly. Our guide Fatima's knowledge of women's roles in Moroccan history was particularly fascinating. Would definitely recommend Sahara Dream Tours

Perfect Family Holiday
Traveling with our 8 and 11 year olds was seamless thanks to Morocco Family Adventures. The kids loved the cooking class and the mule ride in the mountains. We appreciated how the team adjusted activities to our pace and interests. The desert camp had comfortable family tents, and the staff entertained our children with henna and drum lessons. Tusind tak for wonderful memories
