Traveling with three children (ages 9, 12, and 15) can be challenging, but this 8-day Morocco tour was perfect for our family. Everything was planned with care: comfortable hotels, safe transportation, and an itinerary that kept everyone engaged. The kids loved the camel ride in the desert, sandboarding on the dunes, and exploring Chefchaouen’s blue streets. For us parents, the highlight was learning about Moroccan culture in Fes and Rabat. Our guide was fantastic with the children, always patient and fun. We felt safe, relaxed, and cared for the entire journey. It was the best family trip we’ve taken in years.
Abbiamo scelto questo tour di 8 giorni da Marrakech a Casablanca perché volevamo scoprire il Marocco con calma e in sicurezza. È stata una scelta perfetta! Ogni giorno era un’esperienza nuova: i paesaggi delle montagne dell’Atlante, i canyon del Todra, l’oasi di palme della Valle dello Ziz e soprattutto il deserto di Merzouga, dove abbiamo dormito in un campo tendato di lusso. La nostra guida ci ha spiegato la storia e le tradizioni con passione, facendoci apprezzare ancora di più il paese. Il viaggio si è concluso a Casablanca, davanti alla splendida moschea Hassan II. Un’esperienza indimenticabile.
As a solo traveler, I was a bit nervous about exploring Morocco, but this 8-day private tour made me feel completely safe and cared for. My driver-guide was not only professional but also kind and attentive, always making sure I was comfortable. I loved Marrakech’s vibrant atmosphere, the peaceful beauty of the Atlas Mountains, and the magical night in the Sahara Desert. Meeting nomads near Merzouga was eye-opening, and Chefchaouen felt like walking inside a fairytale. Every detail of the trip was perfectly organized, and I never felt rushed. I came back with so many memories and stories to share.”
Este tour privado de 8 días fue mucho más de lo que esperábamos. Nos encantó la organización, siempre puntual y cuidada. Marrakech fue emocionante, con su plaza Jemaa el-Fna llena de vida. El paso por el Atlas y Aït Ben Haddou nos mostró paisajes espectaculares. El desierto de Merzouga fue la mejor parte: dormir en una jaima bajo un cielo lleno de estrellas es algo que nunca olvidaremos. También disfrutamos mucho de Chefchaouen, una ciudad mágica y tranquila. Terminamos en Casablanca con la visita a la mezquita Hassan II, impresionante en su grandeza. Fue un viaje que recomendamos 100%.
We wanted a honeymoon that combined adventure with romance, and this Morocco tour gave us exactly that. Riding camels together in the desert, watching the sunset over the dunes, and spending the night in a luxury camp under the stars was the most romantic experience of our lives. Marrakech was vibrant and full of energy, while Fes gave us a glimpse into Morocco’s deep history. Chefchaouen was incredibly romantic, with its blue streets perfect for photos. The company organized everything flawlessly, and our driver took such good care of us. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect honeymoon.
