“It was easy to book this 10-day trip in Morocco – with communication and planning with Hassan before the trip. We were so glad we went with Morocco Vacations. We were picked up in Casablanca and taken around Morocco for 10 days. Fes, the blue city, the Sahara desert, the Berber music at the campfire, the stars at night, sunrise and sandboarding, and the Atv ride back to Merzouga were some of the highlights. Not to mention that we also visited interesting Kasbahs like Ait Benhaddou which was unique. above all, I highly recommend booking this tour with this travel agency.”
“My husband and I traveled with our friend on a 10-day tour in Morocco starting from Casablanca through, the blue city, Fes, the desert, and Marrakech. Our guide, Youssef, was always prepared, kind, and thoughtful. He notified all of the hotels and restaurants and the camp staff of a food allergy before we got there. He speaks great Spanish by the way! There were lots of beautiful sites to take pictures, fabulous hotels, and tons of good food. The camp in the desert was lots of fun with music, sandboarding, and of course a great sunrise and camels. Thank you, Youssef and the whole staff!”
