Great experience, Ali is a perfect host and has a higher gear than the others. Everything is perfect. I'm definitely going on more tours with Ali. I highly recommend this tour operator.

12 day trip with a friend. Impeccable organisationWe chose an itinerary that covered the imperial cities, the desert, some inland places and a few days at the seaside. The stages were well calibrated (transfers not too long and just enough time to see the places)Our driver Mubarak was super friendly. Clean and comfortable car, very polite, friendly and discreet. Safe driving . He gave us all the necessary information and last day he even accompanied us to Marrakech to a shop at our requestThe selected hotels were very nice (my favorites: the Amskou luxury nomad camp in the desert, Villa Joubert in Oualidia and Riad Malaika in Essaouira).The restaurants offered along the route, as well as the included dinners, were also very goodDuring the 2 days in the desert we were assisted by Ali and his staff, all very welcoming and pleasantNote: upon our arrival we had a problem with a flight that landed in Agadir due to a storm in Marrakech. Ali was very helpful and helped us find an alternative driver who picked us up at 2am upon arrival by bus in MarrakechHighly recommended experience

We have been avid travelers over the past decade having visited over 30 countries and without a doubt Morocco has found a special place in our hearts. A key factor to make this one of the most memorable trips of our lives was the excellent support of "Adventure Morocco Tours" in putting together a custom route with all the places we wanted to visit and photograph. The selection of riads & hotels by the company was perfect, presented beforehand for our approval when we asked for the proposal, with no changes needed on our behalf. Our 9 day journey was hosted in spanish by Ali Fartass, driver, guide & now friend who's knowledge, assistance & kindness to accommodate all our requests made this a 5 star, 10/10 experience.
