10 Days Tour from Tangier is recommended

Me and my boyfriend had the perfect experience in Morocco, I can only compliment Hassan which was our tour driver and guide and to Jorge who organized everything. They were so friendly and open, I found the agency through TripAdvisor like 10 days before flying , contacted them though whatsapp and basically crossed my heart. Everything came out just amazing, we started our tour in Marrakech, got to visit Fez, the Sahara desert, mountains, sleep on a tent, sleep under the stars looking at the milky way (I mean it!!! I've never truly seen it and maybe will never will again, not like that haha) but maybe the best was being able to visit a real Moroccan wedding in a small town, we were astonished of how welcoming and nice was everybody. For me as a photographer it was simply an amazing experience, Hassan was always asking about how to improve our trip, he arranged more visits to off the road authentic places than to classic touristy venues and the wedding too. When in Morocco is common to find people that is only looking for your euros or dollars, these guys were not the case, they were trully professional, arranged amazing hotels and dining destinations even if we were sort of on a budget. My partner and I had maybe the best experience. I recommend having those extra days in the dessert since it's far and else you spent too much time on a van, but I'm sure they can arrange tours even for fewer days. Just so happy, you have a new friend in Mexico and Barcelona!

I traveled during 10 days around Moroccan cities and villages. From the first day to the last Hassan was really professional and proved to be very friendly. Hassan drove very safely throughout the tour and was always very helpfull and informative regarding Moroccan culture. I will come back one day with more friends to repeat the experience with him.

We had an amazing time with our tour guide Hassan! He was very polite and amicable, although there was a confusion about the preferred language; Hassan tried his best to speak English with all of us. Along the way we met many of the other young guides who were playing jokes on each other and making the road trip quite enjoyable. During the stay in Dades, we were given a nice dinner, there we met Mustafá who was a very lively guy. Mustafá invited us to smoke the Shisha and we had a nice night with his Polish clients and him. The next day we hit the road again, Hassan tried his best to speak English only and he did very good, I only had to step in to translate a few times. Hassan surprised us by taking us to his home for lunch when’re his mom made Tea, Couscous, hot sauce, and desert. His sister did henna tattoos on my friends and I. The last part of the day, we took a camel ride to the camp site, ate dinner, played drums by the camp fire, smoked shisha again and those who wanted to drink were welcome to do so, this who wanted to go to their tents did so as well. The next morning we drove back to Marrakech, with Hassan’s brother and although he was not as talkative or attentive as Hassan, it was a pleasant drive back. The only thing I would say about this trip is that the hotel El Islane was not the best hotel to recommend to three ladies, there was no hot water and the beds sheets were not clean. Inspire of this mishap we were able to have the best experience with Hassan o this trip. In regards to our stay, we ended up going g to a Riad the next day and had a great rest of our trip. Hassan checked In with us and asked if we needed anything else during our stay to let him know. I would definitely go back to Morocco and recommend Hassan as a great tour guide.
