I thought the tour was excellent. For me, the weakest day was the long drive from Fes to the Lake Country. Given the drought, i could have probably skipped that day... but it was to meet Jamal's family and have tea together. The resort in Chefchaouen was beautiful but the toilets did not work. People were trying to help but it was not a good situation. Other than that, I thought everything was excellent. We all agreed that Jamal took the trip from really good to absolutely fabolous. It''s apparent how much he loves his job by the way he respects and treats everyone. He's an absolute 10+. I appreciate your suggestion on the tipping amount, but he is worth so much more. Our driver was Hassan and he was also wonderful. I can't image driving that big van on those narrow roads and the concentration that takes.

Thanks to our amazing Tour Guide I had the most fabulous time in Morocco. The guide made us all feel so special and welcome. We were 8 in the group and together with the guide and driver our tourbus was full of enjoyment and curiosity and the guide answered all our questions with a smile. The itinerary is busy and we saw many beautifull sites. A good choice to join this tour.

Fantastic well organised tour with a great mix of stunning places and experiences. A superb range of hotels, smooth transfers from one fascinating location to another guided by our excellent tour guide Omar - informative, friendly & fun! A brilliant trip!

Imperial Morocco & the Blue City, was a fantastic tour, we saw some amazing ancient sites, some beautiful Mosques. The Blue City is something that shouldn’t be missed if going to Morocco. We have done numerous tours, and OMAR is the absolute best tour guide we have had, so knowledgeable and friend.

Our tour guide was Abdefatah and the driver was Sulleiman. I was very impressed with Sulleiman. His driving style was calm and confident. Abdefatah did not always appear overly engaged with the tour.

Omar was a fantastic tour guide, friendly, informative and engaged with the whole group. The tour was great except for the following: Our first night was supposed to be in Marrakesh but we were transferred straight to Casablanca without being told . Would like to have tea/coffee facilities in hotel rooms. Some of the lunches were really late and too close to dinner. Enjoyed Rabat, Chefchouen & Marrakesh the most. Was glad we booked a couple of extra nights at the end in Marrakesh as just an afternoon and evening there is not enough. The only thing I liked about Casablanca was the famous cafe and the mosque. Would be useful to be able to change up notes for small coins for toilets and tips, maybe advised on how to do this on arrival. Advice on tourist scams in Marrakesh would be helpful, as we fell for a couple on our last 2 days, which left a disappointing view of some Morrocan people after having such a nice tour previously.

Wow and wow again!! What an amazing country!! Loved every second of our trip!! Abdellatif Benaissa was our guide and Sulimane Bairha was our driver. We could not ask for a better combination. Abdul’s knowledge and love for his country was evident in his guiding and with a mostly female group (except for Glynn) he had his hands full. Not once did he loose his cool and everything was done with a smile. Abdul and Suliman’s friendliness was infectious and set the tone for the tour and made it an unforgettable experience. Morocco is a beautiful amazing country with surprises and magic around every corner. Chefchaouen and Rabat is a must see and I wish we could’ve spend more days exploring these mystical phenomenal cities. The Riad in Rabat was outstanding and gave us a true experience of being part of Morocco. The people of Morocco are kind hearted and friendly people and we always felt safe and welcome. This was a truly unforgettable experience and I would recommend everyone to experience it at least once.

Omar was excellent as a tour guide (rating for Omar) Hussain took over from Fes was underwhelming at best. Seemed disinterested Accom in Blue City was grubby. Accom in Casablanca tired and smelt of stale smoke. Riads and other hotels were great

Tour: Overall well-paced with a number of caveats. 1) Had two nights in Chefchaouen but the hotel was too far from the city and not convenient for sightseeing. 2) That was little free time allowed in Fes, better to update the website and remove "Tagine Making" from the description. 3) The Marrakech guided tour felt a little rushed and would prefer if a visit to El Badi Palance and Saadian Tombs was included. Guide: Disappointing. Not proactive in providing information or resolving issues. On several occasions I felt like we were left in the dark as to where to go/what to do.
