Excellent experience with Discover Morocco - We just got back from our first trip to Morocco. As part of it we did 3 day / 2 night tour to Merzouga desert via Atlas Mountains and Ait Ben Haddou. Rachid organised the tour with great professionalism and the driver Abdul showed us key sights and took care for the trip to be a good experience. Both Rachid and Abdul treated us with kindness and care. We really enjoyed the trip and hope to go to Morocco again in future, if so we'll come back to Discover Morocco tours for sure! Thank you very much Rachid and Abdul

Great experience :) - We did the 3-day-trip from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga with Rachid. 1. Route: it is very complete. Although we booked the tour for the desert trip, we were surprised by the rest of the things we discovered. The car is a confortable 4x4 and we could stop for break/wc whenever we wanted. 2. Guide: Rachid knows all places to stop (even the best hour to take photos) and he tries to avoid busy places that don’t worth it. We think that going with him is the best way to take profit of the trip. He tooked us to small places to have lunch that were really tasty and he explained us a lot of things about Moroccan culture and traditions. We definitely recommend this tour, it worth the price and Rachid is the perfect guide. Laura & Emili

Unforgettable Moroccan experience - We opted for a guided tour of the desert as part of our recent visit to mesmerising Morocco. Although we were sure we had made the correct choice of selecting 'Discover Morocco Tours' through the very professional & efficient manner of interaction by Rachid throughout, this was cemented by the overall experience with our tour guide Abdul. We had taken an immediate liking to him upon our meeting in Marrakech. He has a pleasant demeanour & made us feel comfortable for the duration of the tour. Abdul is extremely professional, yet polite & friendly, and is always considerate & accommodating in his approach. We had the opportunity to learn lots about local culture through his willingness to share. He also provided us with great tips as tourists. Abdul was absolutely amazing! We will certainly make use of this company again in future & will recommend them to anyone wanting a more enriched Morocco experience.

Beautiful country; Wonderful people - My group of 4 people had an awesome experience with Discover Morocco Tours. Rachid, the owner, provided excellent customer service. He was very quick to respond at any time of day, and very accommodating when we encountered an (unexpected) change in the clock due to Ramadan. Truly exceptional experience before, during, and after our tour thanks to Rachid. But the real star of our trip was Abdul, our driver. His English is impressive to say the least. We had absolutely zero difficulty communicating with him. My sister, a certified TEFL instructor, and Abdul had conversations about the nuances of English that even went over my head. That was just one small aspect of Abdul though. He was beyond friendly; he took generosity and warmth to a new level, and took incredible care of us on our tour. He genuinely cared about our safety and well-being, and made sure that we were looked after and well taken care of by all of the locals that we encountered. He taught us so much about Morocco and the various cultures, landscapes, and history. I can’t begin to thank him enough, truly. In our (way too fast) 4 days with him, we became like family. Abdul showed us many truly authentic Moroccan experiences and we are forever grateful. We were all deeply saddened when it came time to depart, not knowing if or when we will see each other again. He is a huge part of mine and my wife’s desire to return to Morocco. We plan to keep in touch for a very long time to come, and wish him (and Rachid) nothing but the best as they continue to operate and provide 5 star experiences to visitors of Morocco.

Abdul-utely the BEST Tour! - My husband and I traveled to Morocco with my sister-in-law and her husband. We were promptly picked up at our Riad by the man that we would soon learn was our incredible tour guide and soon to be great friend, Abdul. Our time in Morocco was greatly enhanced by the decision to book with Discover Morocco Tours, owing to Abdul's enthusiasm, knowledge and sincerity. I could go on and on about how booking this 3 day tour (which we optionally extended for a 4th day) made our entire 2 week trip, but I encourage you to find out for yourself. I would highly recommend booking your tour experience with Discover Morocco Tours, and don't hesitate to ask for Abdul as your guide. Though if he's not available, I am confident anyone else Rachid assigns will also ensure you have a great experience!

Perfect with family of 11 - Our second time with Discover Morocco was a blast. Everything was on time, they were respectful, punctual, accommodating, and flexible with out 11 people group. Abdelhadi ELMOUSTAHLI was our guide for four days he was really patient with our group and was willing to move activities around as needed. We added several unaccepted stops for food and shopping with no issues. He was very knowledgeable about the culture and monuments. Ask for Abdelhadi.

Amazing Experience!! - I had such an amazing experience on this tour. I was able to experience Morocco like a local because I had such an amazing Tour guide and driver. I was traveling Solo but was going to be in a group with other people. But, some people in the group unexpectedly canceled and I was by myself. WOW, did I have a blast. Thanks to my tour guide Adnane and my Driver Driss, they made me feel like family and I became friends with them. This is definitely the tour you should book if you are looking to experience the culture and beauty of Morocco (And definitely request Adnane and Driss). I will be returning soon hopefully and will be reaching out to this company for another visit, but this time with friends. THANK YOU ADNANE AND DRISS!!!

Great tour - We had fantastic experience with our guide Rachid, who was very knowledgeable on the region and very accomodating for our preferences and extremely helpful. Some highlights of the tour were the Togha Gorges canyon, the Dades Valley and the ride on the camels as well as the music in the desert camp. Due to long hours in the car, the tour can be exhausting at times.

Perfect way of exploring Morocco - Wonderful tour from Marrakech to Fez, through Merzouga. Our driver Raheem was great and he planned for many stops along the way and hired local guides in different towns. We felt very safe and had a great experience.

The fastest tour gide/driver maroccos! :) - We had amazing 3 days adeventourous trip with Rachid from Marrakesh to Merzouga and back. Everything was very well organized, the airport pick up was included for free and worked out smoothly. Rachid showed us very nice places you wouldn’t find without a guide. He knows all the great foto stops and doesn’t get tired of stopping to take pictures. He was very flexible when stopping for lunch and showed us local restaurants with very nice traditional maroccan food with great views. Although the stops were interesting we sometimes felt bad not to buy anything from the locals or in the shops we visited. Rachid really knows what he does on the streets but he drives very fast and adventurous. And he is a good DJ :)
