STUNNING - deserttrips made planning very easy! - We took a trip from Agadir last month. our driver, Saiid, was a true pleasure to spend our 4 days with!! He was so helpful and knowledgeable and really helped pass the time in the car! His time management skills also made the experience better as we had time to enjoy every stopover and still managed to carry out all activities on the itinerary. All the riads/hotels were magnificent in each of the cities. we had a great time and learned about Morocco through our local tour guides who were very knowledgeable and professional. we cannot thank Deserttrips & Saiid enough and highly recommend them⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall this was a fabulous trip! - I just got back from this trip a few months ago, and I can't stop sharing about it. Our guides were wonderful and knowledgeable, I would go on another trip with them someday. Our driver, Sallah was also incredible and a key reason why we enjoyed ourselves so much on the trip. On top of all that we were immersed in the amazing Moroccan cities for several amazing days. I highly recommend this trip to anyone. Cannot shout out appreciation and respect to this team enough. You made our experience remarkable. Take this trip if you are able!

5 Incredible Days in Morocco it was a dream come true! Amazing tour and amazing guide! - We had one of the most enjoyable travel adventures ever spending 5 delightful days in Morocco with DesertTrips. We decided on DesertTrips after reading all the incredibly positive feedback here. However, we could feel strongly that the company's top priority during trip planning and execution was our enjoyment, and that they cared about our experience, and getting us to where we wanted to go. We were worried about traveling through Morocco alone without any information, which does not necessarily add confidence. But Med put all our fears at rest. He did an excellent job adjusting the schedule to our interests and budget, and he was very friendly and we always felt comfortable reaching out to him whenever we needed to contact him. He really listened to our concerns for safety and comfort, which felt very special even though we didn't get to meet him in person. Addi was our driver and he was kind, funny, and forthcoming. At times, we spent long hours on the road driving, but we had utmost trust in his skills and we felt safe when we were with him. He is also knowledgeable of Moroccan culture, the land, and the people, we learned so much from him. We enjoyed the variety built into the trip, from historical sites and landmarks, natural scenery, and unique landscapes, to cultural experiences. Med and Addi have given us an amazing tour of their country, one we shall never forget. The accommodations that were arranged were fantastic, we loved the food in Morocco and Addi took us to great places to eat. We highly recommend this company because we really felt they cared about our experience. We want to go back!!
