My wife & I (????????/????????) did the 6 day Morocco Private Tour (Marrakesh-Dades-Merzouga-Fez-Chefchouen-Casablanca) in Dec 2022 with Azdine and will be recommending this trip to all of our friends & family for years to come.
Here's why:
- Trust & deep respect for Azdine, our tour guide, driver, & patient companion as we drove across (almost) the entire country traversing mountains to deserts to valleys and urban jungles. We felt safe and relaxed, in large part due to his easy-going nature and strong sense of responsibility for our safety. He was always reliable, flexible, and had a get-sh*t-done attitude, which could only be summarized as "competent and chill".
- Morocco is an incredibly fascinating & diverse country with growing infrastructure & support for global tourism, especially now in 2022. Coming in, our "Western" conception of Morocco was "exotic", "Marrakesh", and "spices & lamps". This tour opened our eyes to so much more - from the diversity of people and landscapes to witnessing the spectrum of modernization & globalization in a region seeped in so much rich culture & history.
- Accommodations & amenities were very clean and comfortable. A highlight was staying 2 nights in traditional tents in the Sahara Desert - with plumbing, full showers, and incredible gastronomic dinners. My wife is very picky about cleanliness, and we're happy to say that all our accommodations passed the test.
All this is to say that Morocco is more than ready for tourism and this country should be the top of everyone's bucket list. If you're looking for an authentic, personalized, and human experience of Morocco, we'd highly recommend Morocco Classic Tours. In fact, we're already planning a trip for our parents in the near future!
