Enjoyable family experience Our family of five landed in Marrakech a full 24 hrs late due to flight issues but Hamid & Mustafa were right there patiently waiting for us at the airport at 2:00AM. It was evident that point on that we were in absolutely good hands for the entire duration of the trip. We enjoyed every moment of the trip. It was so relaxed and at our pace ( with kids). We had sufficient time to explore and soak in all the places. The Riad arrangements were awesome. The food stops were well thought. At one point our son left his laptop behind ( he is wired into his school work) but Hamid & Mustafa worked their contacts to have the laptop to us before we left Morocco. We would highly recommend them for first time travelers with families.

The best travel experience ever! Qw did the 10 day trip with Hamid, everything about this trip was amazing, every city we visited had something different. Who knew that Morocco was such a diverse country. Hamid our guide was so accommodating and always put our needs first. He gave us tips that were so useful. I cannot recommend him enough, we will definitely be back and use Hamid from culture desert tours again. The whole trip was organised to perfection, thank you so much Hamid. I would do this trip all over again at the drop of a hat.

    The best travel experience ever!
  • I went to Morocco with my friend, and we booked a 2 days Errachidia to Merzouga desert tour. We visited many wonderful places, including Chefchaouen, Tangier, Rabat, Meknes, Fes, Essaouira, and the Sahara Desert. Every place was beautiful and different.

    The trip was very well organized, and the guide was kind and helpful during the whole journey. Morocco has good people, a rich culture, and amazing landscapes. If you are planning a trip to Morocco, do not hesitate. I highly recommend this experience.
