Rated 5 out of 5

Valentin Ghincolov – June 14, 2022

From the start to the finish, we were very happy with how well taken care of and how organized and seamless the transitions from one day to the next were. The itinerary that our agent, Bethany, helped us arrange based on our preferences worked out perfectly. We felt that we had a nice mixture of the cities and countrysides of Morocco. From the breathtaking mosque in Casablanca to Chefchaouen to the Sahara desert to the snow-capped Atlas Mountains to the medina of Marrakech, we got a small taste of what this amazing country has to offer.
Our lodgings and meals were all fantastic! If possible, please request our amazing driver and guide, Abderrahim Benboualam. Our vehicle was comfortable, clean, and fully stocked with bottled water each day. Abdou was very personable, prompt, and knowledgable about the history of Morocco. He enjoyed sharing with us the culture and customs of the Moroccan people along with teaching us some Arabic phrases. His sense of humor made us smile and laugh every minute of our trip! By the end, he felt like family. Our only regret is that we did not have more time there!
