We just came back from a wonderful trip brilliantly arranged by Morocco Destination Tours. We chose Morocco to celebrate a big Wedding Anniversary and it was what we expected and then some. We were very impressed by this family owned small company full of very warm people. We were fortunate enough to have met quite a few of the family members and they are all so friendly, warm, funny, honest, accomodating, and above all professionals. Our driver Hassan was a wonderful driver/guide, a very very nice young man full of life, always happy with an incredible willingness to please us at a drop of a hat. He kept us entertained with bits and pieces of historical and daily Moroccan life anecdotes. We felt very safe with him driving us around and with just enough stops, always telling us interesting things about the very many great things that Morocco has to offer. That made the trip enjoyable. Ah, and the music! We loved Marakech, Essaouira and then Tichka Pass, Kasbahs and Valleys, Todra Gorge, Merzouga and a fantastic trek through the desert to the fabulous Nomade palace hotel and then spent a gorgeous night at the Jaimas hotel camp: luxurious large tents complete with real toilets and showers. With Berber music under the stars! Fabulous. There are so many highlights on this trip that I could not say which is my favorite: The high Atlas the Middle Atlas Merzouga, Rassini, Meknes, Fes, Volubilis, Rabat, Casablanca. In one word: Fantastic! All the Riads were Great. Riad princess in Marakech had an incrdible service catering to our every whim specially Mohmed. We truly enjoyed the rooms upstairs. In the Dades Valley we stayed at the Hotel Xaluca a big hotel. The food was very very good in spite of being buffet style; its a very good hotel. In Merzouga, I already talked about the nomade palace and Jaimas. Food there great. In Fes, Riad Fes Relais et Chateau and this was the cherry on top of the cake. Can't say enough. In Rabat Riad Kelaa , a wonderful little Riad, only spent one night there but very much enjoyed the front room on the main floor. All in all an amazing trip that we will never forget. Thank you Morocco Destination Tours . A must do Trip!with Morocco Destination Tours

I just came from grand tour in Morocco arranged by Ali Oubza , and I was much impressed by this country and its unique combination of beautiful nature dessert, beaches, mountains, lot of interesting historical and cultural places, good infrastructure, charming riads, delicious food, souk shopping experience, and of course very nice and friendly people and very relaxing ambiance. Ali and his team have unique experience in Morocco, are very professional in tour planning, choice of riads, local guides, food&restaurants etc and same time flexible. We added to the program some places like Legzira which definitely worth to see. Due to perfect tour planning we managed to see lot of interesting places and still have enough free time to relax and enjoy Morocco. My guide Ali was very knowledgeable about Morocco its history, culture and traditions, as well friendly and helpful, during the tour we saw lot of things which were not in our program and it was interesting to experience non-touristic Morroco places and life, like numids families life in caves etc. Brief tour summary: Casablanka - just a famous big city in Morocco with a beautiful Hasan II mosque; Rabat - just a nice capital of Morocco; Assila - charming graffiti-art city; Tangier - modern city, great see food and romantic place where Atlantic meets Mediterranean.
