We are so glad that we chose Desert Trips to organise our 15-day travel from north to south Morocco. From the very beginning, Khalil helped us with advice on designing our itinerary and choice of hotels and activities.
There were numerous highlights of this trip, including:
Our excellent driver Said who was such a considerate driver, looked after our comfort and interests all the time. We were so sorry when our tour finished to say our goodbyes.
We knew what to expect in some of the Moroccan cities which we had previously visited (and relished our visits there), but we were enchanted with several new places for us (especially Tangier, Chefchaouen and Fes). The hotels recommended to us in these cities were ideally located for us to walk about the main sites.
Another highlight for us were the stays in the desert. On our way for a camel trek and sunset. The camels were amazing. Very well cared for. The camp was pretty cool. The tents were quite large and comfortable plus AC. That evening we enjoyed an awesome traditional dinner with tajine and all. In the morning, we rose at the crack of dawn to catch the sunrise.
All the places where we had a local guide planned helped in our appreciation of the history, architecture and culture of the place. Highlights for us were the excellent guides in Rabat(Abdallatiph), Fes(Mehdi) and Marrakech(Mustapha).
We always felt secure that we could rely on Khalil to keep us updated on our
progress and next-day plans. He was very efficient in sorting out a minor problem we had with the booked hotel in Casablanca and relocated us within an hour to a great hotel close to and overlooking the Hassan II Mosque.
All in all, we had a wonderful time and we are very happy to highly recommend Desert Trips for organising bespoke tours to match visitors’ interests. For those saying you could book all travel yourself, etc. And get a cheaper price: that may be true but services like Desert Trips charge in part for their workers' time and the labor they put into organizing everything. It is important to acknowledge the convenience that comes as a result of someone finding your amazing driver and all your hotels, local guides, etc. Not to mention that when booking with a company like this, there is an added layer of accountability that the hotels, etc. have to meet (which makes for better service most times) and also safety (esp. for solo travelers). Overall, we will be happy to have another trip organised by Desert Trips
