Amazing ten days of a private tour of Morocco. It comes highly recommended!
We chose the Morocco Day Tour, which is our first trip to Morocco, after reading the remarks here. We received a swift reply from Said, who was kind enough to tailor-made our tour from a six-day Sahara trip to a 10-day trip from Marrakesh to Sahara, Fez, Chefchaouen, Rabat, and Casablanca.
Omar is a very fortunate driver and guide for us. He is kind, courteous, and professional. He took us to many nice spots for photo shooting and gave us valuable advice on what to buy/not buy. Specifically, he led us to a lamb food stall at a neighborhood restaurant, which was really tasty.
He texted us on WhatsApp on our free day in Chefchaouen to see how we were doing, and we could see he was concerned. During our two-week journey in Morocco, we felt protected for ten days and Omar is dependable.
The price is reasonable, the driver is reliable, and the accommodations are excellent and beautiful. We have no hesitation in recommending Morocco Packages Holidays to everyone travelling to Morocco!

The entire trip was a fantastic adventure! Mohamed assisted us with every aspect of the planning, including travel, lodging, transportation, food, tours, and so on, and everything worked out well.
I went on a 10-day trip with my husband, and we were very happy. Every hotel was excellent (well-kept, in a nice area, with cozy accommodations and delicious meals). I recommend contacting Morocco Day Tour if you want to travel to Morocco.
