Ismail of Morocco Time Travel, came highly recommended to me from a friend who used his services for her trip to Morocco 2 year ago. It took no time after our initial contact to know that I'd be in great hands with Ismail. I wanted to spend 2 weeks in Morocco and experience the imperial cities, the country and the desert but having limited planning time, and limited knowledge of the country with its great distances between points of interest, I was not confident planning it myself.

Considering my specific needs, Ismail expertly drafted an initial itinerary tying together my desired major destinations, and filled in important, and fun points of interests, especially during long drives, that I would not have known about on my own. As I was feeling indecisive how far north, how far south, I could or wished to get to, I was incessantly emailing him questions, concerns and changes of plans. Ismail had the patience of a saint and remained professional addressing each of my concerns with the changing plans and offering his recommendations at each point. In the end, my days flowed beautifully, with enough rest time and wonderful stops at strategic locations. He assigned just the right amount of expert guides as needed, 1/2 day or full day, that perfectly complemented the time exploring on my own.As experiencing the local culture was important to me, Ismail booked riads that could only be booked locally. They were wonderful places where I got to meet locals, had delicious fresh food, often made on site. At a riad in the country, I was taken to their own barn to see their cow and sheep which was pure delight to me. At the desert, I experienced my first camel ride, led by a sweet and gentle camel man, followed by a magical starry sky - all dreams of mine that got fulfilled on this trip.Last, but most certainly not least, Ismail provided a driver who went way over and beyond meeting my expectations, who was extremely safe, enthusiastic and passionate about his work, smart, fun and funny and an overall caring individual, to say nothing of his most energizing international play list!I appreciate the precious time and confusion Ismail saved me not having to plan the trip myself, but more importantly I am grateful for his trustworthiness and professionalism to make my visit to Morocco a dream come true that I will not soon forget. It is no surprise that my friend stayed in touch with him and highly recommended him to me as I in turn highly recommend him to others to have an unforgettable trip to Morocco.
