I had an absolutely amazing experience with Private Moroccan Tour on the 5-day journey from Tangier to Marrakech. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Our driver and guide, Hassan, was knowledgeable, professional, and so kind. Chefchaouen was magical, Fes was fascinating, and the Sahara Desert left me speechless the camel ride at sunset and night under the stars were truly once-in-a-lifetime moments. I felt safe, cared for, and truly immersed in Moroccan culture. Highly recommend this company if you want a personalized, unforgettable adventure!
Traveling with Private Moroccan Tour was the best decision I made for exploring Morocco. Their 5-day itinerary was perfectly balanced between sightseeing, cultural discovery, and comfort. I especially loved the desert camp experience in Merzouga unreal landscapes and excellent hospitality. Chefchaouen and Fes were both unique in their own way, and finishing in Marrakech was the perfect finale. Our guide Brahim made the trip feel like traveling with a friend. I’m already planning my next tour with them!
