They helped us plan an unforgettable vacation in Morocco. - We recently had an incredible, stress-free trip to Morocco, all thanks to Deserttrips. The entire journey was meticulously planned, from our city tours to transport, hotel/riad accommodations...etc, making it one of the most enjoyable vacations we’ve ever had. Our guides in Fes and Marrakesh were outstanding—their deep knowledge of the history and culture added so much to our visits to Morocco. They spoke fluent English and were very informative. The most outstanding part of the tour was the guide and driver, Moha, we spent a lot of time with him. He's an exceptional human being and was the most accommodating driver I’ve ever experienced. He’s a 10/10! He was always timely and His historical knowledge is truly exceptional. From start to finish, they planned our vacation flawlessly and easy to email, and text at all times. I was so impressed by them that I would recommend each one of them absolutely and with the most confidence!

I had an amazing trip with my Family - Our family’s trip to Morocco in July 2024 was a phenomenal experience, thanks to the impeccable planning by Deserttrips. they crafted a perfectly comfortable and enjoyable 6-day itinerary that took us through Fes, Merzouga Desert, Dades Valley, Ouarzazate, Ait Benhaddou, and Marrakech. Moha was our driver and guide, he was wonderful! Moha went above and beyond what he was supposed to do and even took us to some local places to eat. The local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, providing us with rich insights into the history and culture of each location. They showed us so many things we never would have known to see! The riad and hotel accommodations were top-notch, offering comfort and convenience, while the meals provided were consistently delicious, showcasing the best of Moroccan cuisine. All in all, this was a very positive experience and most importantly, it was very stress-free. Once again, We are immensely grateful and heartfelt thanks to Deserttrips for making our trip ever-memorable. We highly recommend their services to anyone planning to visit Morocco!

Fun and professionally organized! - Although our initial plan was to use the local transportation to go around, since we traveled with my 3-y-old son decided to look for a private tour to take us across Morocco covering all important tourist attractions. We approached Mr. Med at the DesertTrips and he was very helpful. He was very patient to listen to our needs, explained each tour itinerary, and helped us to choose the right option. The booking was followed up and we got our tour details promptly. Moha who took us around in his neat car was knowledgeable and very friendly. He didn't hurry us anywhere. Every destination was well explained with its historical references and he was kind enough to take our photographs. His knowledge of the local roads and attractions was impressive. Very professional driver. We were very comfortable with his driving. He was very good in English, and hence it was easy to converse with him. The best part was the dune bashing, it was thrilling and honestly the funniest experience. The camel riding and show was also fantastic. The hospitality was wonderful. If you are planning to use DesertTrips please do ask for him as we feel he's excellent in what he does! We'll definitely be coming back! Will highly recommend booking with DesertTrips esp when traveling with kids, and asking for Moha as your driver:-)

My trip to Morocco was AMAZING! - Had the most amazing time doing the 4-day Moroccan trip, truly a desert list adventure. They got my trip booked on very short notice and were extremely helpful with any questions I had before departing. This was my first Moroccan trip and I was pretty nervous about it, but it's so easy to get where you need to be with everything pre-booked and laid out in your travel itinerary. All the hotels and riads I stayed at were great and well-located. My experience at the Luxury Oasis Camps in the Sahara desert was extraordinary. The Moroccan food is delicious with lots of flavorful meats and fresh fruits and vegetables...excellent! The Guide/driver Hasaan was professional, reliable, helpful, and full of history on the country, cities, and culture of the towns I visited. Over time, we became friends. He is an amazing guy! The local guides for each city and Marrakech were very knowledgeable and top-notch. I couldn’t have seen the city or had the same positive experiences without them. Thank you! All in all, I loved every aspect of Deserttrips and will definitely book travels through them again in the future. Couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thanks for making my trip easy!

Worth its weight in gold! - Deserttrips make your trip so much easier. It made planning our itinerary and booking the various tours very easy. We did not encounter any issues booking our activities and they provided great customer service. We were able to see a handful of cities and historical monuments, along with the Sahara desert. Would absolutely do it again if we were back in Morocco, as we couldn't possibly have hit all in 4 days! Basically, deserttrips delivered on its promises and offers great value for the price. We definitely recommend it!

It was value for money!! - Thank you to DesertTrips and Khalil for making this the best vacation of our lives. We just finished a 4 day private tour and saw many incredible things on our way to the Desert, which exposed us to the diverse landscapes and cultures of this exotic country. We did a camel trek and spent the night in the Bivouac(I’d recommend a Mome days if traveling to the Sahara desert). The trip was well organized! Our riads where we stayed along the way were really nice, very clean, and comfortable with delicious breakfast. We are very satisfied with the value of the tour, in terms of the food and accommodation provided!! Khalil was a great guide/driver, polite, and extremely helpful. We had an opportunity to visit unique cultural sites and landscapes and enjoy activities we had not expected including tea with a Berber Nomad Family, a tour of a Hassilabied Garden, eating at authentic eateries in Khamlia village, and visiting craft persons and shops with authentic products at very fair prices. Our driver answered questions we had and was always ready to help if we needed anything. Morocco is a beautiful country with friendly people. A job well done! DesertTrips made this a fantastic vacation.
