Very excellent and complete tour. We went from Marrakech to Fes via Merzouga Desert, on the road our friendly and professional guide LAHCEN brought us to beautiful and hidden places, for example Ouzoud waterfalls, Dades gorge exc. He is a very nice person, we’ve really enjoyed our time with him and this experience flew so fast... We highly recommend this tour, especially if you don’t have much time but you would like to visit as much as possible.

Ali our guide was fantastic and he led us on the adventure of a lifetime through the Sahara He was so knowledgeable and willing to answer in great depth our probing questions about the culture, people,geography, history, and random curiosities. He went to elaborate efforts to ensure our memories of the trip would always make our hearts sing and tolerated our American oddities. He should be rated as the Best Guide Ever!! Yusuf our driver was so dependable. We had complete confidence traveling as American women that we were perfectly safe with them as our protectors and guides.

Adventure Morocco Tours arranged a custom tour for us (2 people) beginning in Tangier and ending in Marrakech, calling in at Chefchaouen, Fes, Erg Chebbi, Dades Gorge, Ouarzazate, and many other places. Note Morocco is not a small country, and this tour involved many long drives; we used a comfortable 4x4. They were flexible in customizing the itinerary and the accommodations were very nice with lots of character and we were allowed to preview and approve prior to arriving in Morocco. Ali, the owner, was easy to communicate with and prompt in his responses. Even when there was a minor miscommunication, Ali went out of his way to make sure we were happy with the outcome. We would highly recommend Adventure Morocco Tours. Our driver Kamal (note Morocco is very fussy about the label of driver vs guide) was excellent: he speaks English well, is a safe driver and was conscientious about locking the vehicle with our things inside. He is good natured and chatty, and was eager to share information about Morocco and its culture and traditions as we went. He took us to many small places to eat and get the “locals” experience and avoided concentrations of other tourists whenever possible. He was sensitive to what we wanted and went out of way to make sure we got it. He advocated the best price for us whenever we were interested in purchasing even small things like water, scarves or dates. We thought Kamal was exceptional. A 5+ star. He and AMT seemed genuinely concerned for us to have a great trip, and they were successful!
