Under Morrocan Sun did our tours in Marrakech and Casablanca as well as our transfer from Marrakech to Casablanca. Booking online was easy and hassle free. Hassan responded promptly to our questions/requests. He provided a formal itinerary with the pricing. Once agreed, he sent us a secure link to process payment. Hassan sent us an email with the driver/guide's name, phone number and pick up time the day before our first tour. He also followed up with another email to make sure we were satisfied with the tour, guide, etc. Guides were professional and knowledgeable. Ismael, our driver was outstanding. He was nicely dressed, friendly and shared lots of information about places and traditions. He was careful and drove safely. The vehicle was in good working condition. Overall a great experience. Highly recommended Under Morrocan Sun.

My wife and I recently returned from our 8-day trip to Morocco, all organized by Hassan with Under Moroccan Sun. We found Under Moroccan Sun through a Zicasso recommendation, and from emailing back and forth with a few different companies, the choice was clear that we should go with Hassan. He was great at responding quickly and took note of all our preferences to ensure that we had a great trip - and we did! Also, the price that he quoted was competitive and definitely fair for all that we experienced.
Hassan organized every detail of our trip, from our experiences and local tours to our accommodations. He organized a tour our tour that started in Casablanca, then we made our way to Fes (via Meknes and Rabat) and on to Marrakech (with a one-day stop in Bin El Ouidane), ending with a night in an Agafay Desert camp. We could see Hassan's personal touch in every day of the tour. For instance, my wife was greeted by beautiful welcome flowers in Casablanca and Fes - a very nice touch that she appreciated!
For our accommodations, we were promised to be treated with luxury, and what we received surpassed our expectations. In Casablanca, we stayed at the centrally-located Hyatt Regency, then in Fes at the Riad Salam, with its beautiful mosaics and courtyards. After our stay in Fes, we were greeted to my favorite hotel of all - the Widiane Suites & SPA, where we were welcomed by some of the nicest people we have ever encountered while traveling. The resort is set one of the most beautiful lakes and, best of all, we literally had the entire lake to ourselves. We rented some time on jet skis, and we were the only ones out on the water - talk about luxury! The resort staff left us feeling like movie stars.
At Hassan's suggestion, we stayed at La Maison Arabe in Marrakesh, which was my wife's favorite accommodation. The atmosphere was made of luxury and relaxation. During our second day in the city, my wife was treated to a traditional hammam spa session, and we both took a cooking class with the hotel, which was entertaining and informational. For our last night, we rode camels to the White Camel luxury desert camp, where we experienced a calm night in the Agafay Desert. We would highly recommend staying at any of our accommodations and that you take Hassan's suggestions to heart, as he definitely knows what he is doing.
In each city that we visited, we had a local guide to take us on an informational city tour. We even had one guide who took us on a hiking tour around Ouzoud Falls, which was a lot of fun. Overall, our absolute favorite thing about our visit to Morocco was our main guide/driver, Hamid. We have visited over 30 countries on all seven continents, and Hamid is the best guide we have ever had. He did everything to make sure we were having a great time. We always felt welcome with Hamid, and he also told the best stories that we will always remember. Within the next few years, we would love to return to Morocco and have Hamid as our guide again. If you ever have the chance to visit Morocco, we highly recommend that you go with Under Moroccan Sun and request Hamid as your guide. You will have a wonderful time! Thank you to Hassan and Hamid for such an outstanding trip!
The tour was amazing! Our guide Mohammed was very generous and informative, giving us various historical facts about the areas. I will definitely be coming back here with my children and I've already recommended this tour to my friends in Hong Kong. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience.
