Morocco Tours Reviews
Enjoyable tour in Morocco
After we flew to Marrakech, we stayed 3 days to discover the city and relax. The city was very clean and people are very friendly. We thought to book a private tour since we are a family of 4 people. We booked the tour with Barack and he gave us all information we need to know and the Itinerary. He sent us the driver Mohamed who was welcoming and friendly since the first day. He was buying us water bottles in each place we stop at and make us laugh. We love Morocco and will definitely go back again and travel with Mohamed.

5 day Desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga Sahara with Mohamed was a great experience of mountains, desert, local life, and nice and friendly people. The tour covered everything that was promised, accommodation was very good with the luxury camping, and thanks to Mohamed’s hospitality and positive attitude, we enjoyed every day. We highly recommend the daydeserttours.com service for Morocco visitors.
