Perfect 6 Days Morocco Tour
My husband and I (from the USA) spent six days exploring this beautiful country with our tour guide and driver from Morocco Day Tour. The car that picked us up and was “our vehicle” as we travelled through the country was far above our expectations.
It is spotless and well-maintained. Our guide, Moha, was very patient, answered all our questions, and gave us an excellent insight into life in Morocco.
The highlight of our trip was our stay in a luxury camp in the Sahara desert. Campfire and music under the Milky Way are memories I will cherish forever. I highly recommend this tour company.
6-day tour of Morocco Starting from Casablanca
Our Morocco Day Tour experience left us feeling really satisfied. Ali, our driver, was quite lovely. He catered to our needs, was respectful, and made us feel safe at all times.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay in Fes, and our guide was very informative. We strongly advise using the Morocco Day Tour. They organized all of our excursions, which included a tour of Fes and a day trip to the Atlas Mountains and Essaouira.
Their car and driver were ours for the whole vacation, which eliminated any hassles with organizing.
6 Days Tour from Casablanca to Marrakech
We found this tour on the internet, and we had some difficulty understanding each other when we tried to customize the trip. After many emails, we finally agreed on a tour that fit our expectations.
Then we paid the deposit, but we were very surprised to receive confirmation of registration. We were quite worried when we arrived in Casablanca, but finally, our guide and driver were waiting for us as planned.
We spent six unforgettable days. The selected hotels were very nice. We especially loved the Riad in Fes. During our tour, we had a local guide in Fes, who was a good complement to our guides. The rhythm of the activities was good. We had time to rest, and we always had enough time to stop when we asked.
Omar and Idir ( our guide and driver) were very nice and were an important part of the success of our trip. We exchanged many subjects with them, and we feel that they let us experience Morocco.
Overall, the experience was awesome. The organization was perfect, the guides were great, the itinerary appropriate, and we loved the choice of hotel, camel tour, and food. We highly recommend it; you will enjoy it.
