Reviews from our guests

Julia was great ahead of time tailoring the trip based on our interests (and to make it interesting for the kids, with the right mix of fun, history, and adventure). And Lahsen was a great tour guide, giving us great information, stories, and interactions with the local culture.

Perfect Moroccan Adventure! TripAdvisor review of a family trip

We worked with Julia to create a custom itinerary which included the imperial cities and also the desert and mountains. Lahsen was our driver/guide and it was a pleasure to have his expertise as he shared his country with us.

Questions

Before you write to us

Are your Morocco tours private?

Yes. Our tours from Marrakech are private: your own driver-guide and your own vehicle for the whole route, with an English and French-speaking driver-guide. You are not placed in a group with other travellers.

How much does a tour cost?

We do not publish fixed prices, because the price depends on your dates, group size, route and where you sleep. Send us your dates, group size and the kind of trip you want, and we reply with a route and a price. Your quote spells out what is included before you book.

What is included in a tour?

Each tour page lists what is and is not included. Breakfast is included every day on our tours. Anything not listed on the tour page, such as other meals, drinks and entrance fees, is something to confirm with us when you book.

Where do the tours start and finish?

Most of our tours start in Marrakech, and on the Marrakech tours your driver collects you from your hotel. The Toubkal treks start on foot at Imlil. If you want a different start, a different length or a slower pace, describe it on the Customized Trips page and we plan it with you.

Can you build a trip around my interests?

Yes. Our listed tours are a starting point, not a limit. Tell us your dates, group size, the pace you like and anything you would rather avoid, and we come back with a proposed route and a quote. Desert nights, cooking classes, craft visits, birdwatching, golf, surfing and sandboarding can be added to most routes.
