Morocco Made Magical by Tour Radar & Discover Morocco! - I am back home, fine and safe… but sad about leaving Morocco so early. I want to write pages about how wonderful the five days were. I am never going to forget the experience I had in my entire life time. Abdoullah was the most ideal person to accompany me in this adventure. I cannot have had such a deep, involving and immersive experience of Morocco if not for him. Not for a minute in the trip I felt away from home because of him. He was just perfect! And he is a superb driver with such deep knowledge of the places, people and culture. I dint even feel I was driving across Morocco for 5 days. He is a treasure. You must totally treasure him. Because of him I know about the history of Morocco, bere bere people, Arabic culture, flora & fauna .. n so much more My trip was short n not enough to see all of Morocco to my hearts content. So I will definitely come back for sure to Morrison via this trip. thank you so much for such a fantastic experience through out my trip. The riad’s chosen were so beautiful and authentically Moroccon, breakfast and dinners were delicious, the places I visited and people I met filled my heart with warmth n memories.. Places were magical. Abdoullah was just the ideal person to accompany me in this trip. It could not have been more perfect than this. You have indeed set a very high bench mark for how a tour experience should feel and I am going to be talking about TourRadar, Discover Morocco and abdoullah for a long long long time :) I thank you generously for making my Moroccon experience magical. Every aspect was so filled with care and warmth. I barely missed home in 5 days and wished the dream would never end. I will come back for more ( soon , inşallah) as this time it surely was a very short trip :)

Fantastic experience - My 5 year old and I have just finished this tour and I would recommend it. Pick up was direct from our Riads door. The communication with the company was excellent, with very fast responses. Hisham our driver was fantastic. He was very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed and was brilliant with my daughter - who was sad to say goodbye to him. The desert experience is a memory I’ll cherish forever, watching my daughter ride her own camel through the dunes was amazing. Sandboarding as the sun came up was incredible. The evening meal at the camp was the best we’ve had in Morocco. The hotel on the last night was beautiful, complete with pool which was very refreshing after the heat of the desert. I would use this company again. Thank you Hisham and Rachid.

Fantastic experience with Discover Morocco Tours - 4 days / 3 nights tour between Marrakech and Merzouga via Ouarzazate and the Dadès gorges on a private tour for a family of 3 people. 4x4 vehicle. 2 nights in hotels + 1 night in the desert in a nomad camp. Very high quality service. Discover Morocco Tours is a very serious, responsive and reliable company. The discussions to prepare our trip were very professional and the service offered was exceptional (the accommodation is very high quality, as is the vehicle used for travel). The landscapes are varied and breathtaking. The visits offered, more or less touristy, complement each other perfectly and are very rich. Although we have several trips to Asia and the USA (national parks) under our belt, we were captivated by the beauty of the Moroccan landscapes and the authenticity of the places visited during our visit. Our guide Abdul, who has extensive knowledge of the places visited, gave us an incredible experience and an unforgettable stay. His kindness, empathy and professionalism allowed us to live this first experience in Morocco in ideal conditions. Many thanks to him for his human qualities and his sense of sharing and hospitality. I can only congratulate Rachid and his staff for the quality of his offer and 200% recommend his services to anyone who would like to discover this wonderful country in these excellent conditions. I would without hesitation give 6 stars if it were possible 4 days / 3 nights tour between Marrakech and Merzouga via Ouarzazate and the Dadès gorges on a private tour for a family of 3 people. 4x4 vehicle. 2 nights in hotels + 1 night in the desert in a nomad camp.

Great tour with Abdul, we have experienced so many things in 4 days! - We really enjoyed our tour with our great driver Abdul. While many companies propose a similar itinerary on 3 days, we feel that the extra day was well worth it to enjoy the long journey, with so many different landscape along the way: from the kasbah to spectacular gorges in the Atlas to the camel trek in the dessert in Merzouga, it was is well worth it. While it was not part of the normal tour, we will remember forever the day of the Eid, where we stopped by a village to share the slaughtering of a mutton with a family, a true Moroccan experience! That was by chance but it is such unplanned stop that makes the travel worth it. The Moroccan are really friendly and have a great sense of hospitality! On the way back, the large herd of camel crossing the road in the middle of nowhere was also a unique sight. The accomodation was comfortable on the 3 nights, especially the last riad in Ourzazate. A big thanks to our driver Abdul. He was friendly and genuine. He knew how to adapt the timing to fit our wishes, with no rush; at no point we felt forced into tourist trap and that is also the benefit of such private tour. We enjoyed conversation with him on the way that give us a true insight of Moroccan way of life. It was great going to a local market with him to prepare and share a picnic on the last day. We can only recommend "Discovery Morocco Tours", the manager Rachid and our driver Abdul. We will be pleased to go with them again to visit other part of this wonderful country.
