Louise rizza – June 18, 2022

Go Marrakech Desert Trips (through Abdou) provided excellent overall service, coordination of the total trip in Morocco and in their choice of Riads (hotels) in Ouarzazate, Fes and Marrakech. Abdou was particularly helpful and kept us informed at each step of the planning phase, working with us through several iterations
Local drivers arranged by Abdou were on time and courteous. Guides were also very good and informative. One minor delay was resolved promptly by Go Marrakech Desert Trips and Abdou.
We loved our Morocco trip from the mosque at Casablanca to the overnight stay in the desert and the palaces. And the medinas in Fes and Marrakech. Lovely country with a lot of history. Wish we had more days to also visit the rest of the country.
