“We had an absolute blast on this 5-day tour from Marrakech to Tangier through the Sahara desert and the blue city. Our guide, Hassan, was incredible. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and very professional. The scenery along the drives was stunning. One day we saw snow in the Atlas Mountains and later that night we were in the desert. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to see a ton of the country outside of the major cities. We are a couple that travels very frequently and truly enjoyed this experience.”
“My friend & I (two females) felt so safe and had a wonderful time with Morocco Vacations. The pickup point was super convenient and the tour guide/driver was very friendly. The drive from Marrakech to Tangier was a truly cultural and historical experience, we learned so much about the people of Morocco, and the various cultures and saw beautiful landmarks along the way to Merzouga (desert) and then to Tangier and the blue city. I would highly recommend this tour and travel agency.”
